I just bought this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250H-334-12V-95AH-VARTA-G8-CAR-BATERY-LAND-ROVER-TOYOTA-MITSUBISHI-NISSAN-/190740471817?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c6904a009
So if a Battery is rated as 1000cca (Marine)
Whats the cca as related to a car?
Which is better a 95ah 830cca Car Battery or
a 110ah 1000cca Marine/Leisure ?
And what do we need for a 2.7TDi?
My local Battery dealer offered me both! 95ah/830cca Varta Car battery
and a 110ah 1000cca marine.
There you, even more confused now!
So, can someone explain how you get a 110ah battery with 1000cca, then a 115ah battery with only 750cca? Please??????
Battery
So, are we all agreed the CXVXV31MF LEISURE BATTERY is a suitable replacement, even though it needs a bracket over top to hold it in place?
Only my battery has started playing up and I have to Jump off my wifes Fiesta to start the Mav!
Fuel
My 2.7TDi Mav runs much sweeter on 50 ltr VO, 10 ltr Diesel & 3ltr petrol.
Had a short run down M5 to Farm Foods at Cheltenham last week (without "The Dragon") and was surprised when I put my foot down, the acceleration from 65mph up to 100mph was so quick and smooth! I won't be doing it...
In the Pub the other day I was telling that old joke about what you do
if you see an epileptic having a fit in the bath.
Answer; throw in your washing.
We were all having a good laugh about
this, when this big bastard tapped me on the shoulder and said "I don't find that very funny.
My brother...
Phone rings, woman answers.
The pervert, with heavy breathing, says, "I bet you have a tight arse with no hair?"
Woman replies, "Yes, he's watching the football - who shall I say is calling?"
I put 40ltr Veggie, 20ltr Diesel & 3ltr petrol and Mav runs fine.
Still have to turn glow plugs on/off a few times when its -0 degrees to get her started, but she runs fine, no problems after the first 400 miles.
I've got another 50 ltr veggie to put in later today along with a bit diesel and...
Anyone else have the same niggly problem?
The top edge of my rear door wiper doesn't touch the glass!
I put new Bosch wipers all round, but it hasn't changed the problem.
It's not a Major thing, but it just pisses me off that the top bit doesn't get cleaned!:confused::(:(
Fuel pipes replaced and all old brake pipes & crap removed.
Mechanic said the existing Brake Pipe is good, Copper so won't rot.
Cost £104. I give him £120.
Re-Test tomorrow, so we'll see what happens then!
