At what point did you fit the second battery and it's wiring with the solenoid to use as an extra starting battery.

One day I hope to see you and the mav face to face.

FItted it... must be 7 years ago now, but when you think the Mav was 15 at the time lol... time flies.

As well as a starter solenoid connecting the battery on demand there is a 45 amp relay charging the second battery when the engine is running, the 45 amp relay is energised via the radio feed circuit, ie accessory feed, so the relay disconnects when the engine is actually being started, otherwise the current draw through the 45 amp relay, could be half the CCA required to start the car, which would fry the relay and burn out the wiring.
If I recall, the battery interconnecting cable is something like 25 mm2 It should be thicker but... it was a spare length not used on the boat, and it shares the load with the main battery.
What I need to do... is wire in a cool box to the second battery.

Re meeting up, it would be nice to put a face to a name, there are a few members who I'd really like to meet.

If I could do that with a non damaging moors run... so much the better.

Yes, that sounds good. I'd like another crack at meeting people but I'm not geared up for serious off road stuff.

Cheers,

How about when you've finished chemo and back to being stable again a meet up where there's a camp site and a hotel close by so that we can have a weekend. I know some people don't relish the idea of camping so the hotel would do the trick. I'd be up for that somrt of meet.

You know if this includes partners, my wife Roz and I could be well up for this, but chemo, if on schedule and no delays will continue into September, if all goes well.:bow

Why shouldn't it include partners, later in the year could be popular. :thumbs

 

[jims-terrano]

You mean people can go off without their mrs? Sounds dangerous not taking the wife:lol

I'd go camping in mid winter me so doesn't matter to me when it happens as long as it does:thumbs

I see a flaw in this:doh
A twenty something year old minter flopping through muddy puddles........ just..... does....... not........compute

 

[emjaybee]

You have to bear in mind that we don't all won't to be radiator deep in water or axle deep in mud.

Some of us would be quite content trundling along somewhere that's just not tarmac.

Don't get me wrong, I love to see others doing submarine acts in slurry, it just "ain't ma jam".

:thumbs

If there is the slightest risk of that....:wasntme

I could ride shot gun, but you have to consider my spine won't take the knocks, there are tumours on my spine, sternum and pelvis. Also over the last few weeks we have had to cancel many social engagements, as in several instances, friends and family have been driving down to see us, we have been driving the other way to the hospital.

:lol:lol

That's my thinking.
A pub carpark meet showing our shiny pride and joys would be an option, to meet rustic and his truck, before, during or after laning. :nenau
If it happens to be fine weather and he's feeling good, a gentle lane or two.:thumbs
