I will be done just as a bit of fun Geoff wont get you into anything your not comfortable with, you have a punch card attached to the passenger side of vehicle and then you have to get it in a posistion so you can punch the appropriate number on the card with the punch hanging on the string.Part of the challenge is finding the punches part is getting the vehicle posistioned correctly, some you should be able to drive some will require a winch others we wont even look at. I will bring strops and a snatch block, chuck a couple of sets of waffle boards in the back. Give me a ring if you fancy it.

is it earthed back to the battery ? live should go from battery to isolator to solenoid then to winch earth should also go all the way back to battery.

Right my battery issue is sorted new battery in as turned out the old battery was the wrong size was a tiny proxy thing. Anyway all sorted. There's few things below I'm not sure on what they are. Help would be great please. Also as I accelerate i seem to feel a slight knocking clunking noise that goes as soon as my foot comes off the pedal. As I accelerate through the revs it's not apparent. Is it my 265 special tracks causing it or should I be concerned or need to look for something?


What are them 2 black circular bits which wires come out of. There not plugged into anything at all.

.
What is this wire? It's connected to the black box which is attached to the same mount as the ffusebox under the bonnet. The end was wedged under the battery. Anyone got any ideas? I'm assuming its a relay of some sort that box but the wire is just floating around it has a red sleeve.


Cheers in advance guys. On good note I now have figure dot he split charge system which I shall be installing soon
