lol cheers richie mate.

its going over now to the resto club, jordies gonna do a full oil change for me.

still, this might not be anything to do with the original problem ?


the exhaust will be blamed just you watch, but remember even Lance at Green and White said it would be fine *wink* so remain positive dispite the negativity that you will endure through association of me.

go to auto silencers in Tynemouth, they will sort you one. Make sure the terminals are the right way (so you can use the battery strap !!!!)

Sounds like you have found a short term fix. Long term either the battery, alternator or wiring is knackered. Expect the problem to come back soon as the battery starts to lose that charge!
