well, just fitted it all back together with clean and shiny terminals.
resistance on multimeter now reads 000, where before it was off scale
or high 900's.

Fitted back to vehicle and run, with the third wire connected. The
slight wobble has now ceased, light continued to glow dimly (ie just
visible) for approx 2-3 mins and has now gone out altogether.....
Output voltage holding steady at 14.4.....

bloody 101's......

Harrumph, given that more edits have been made I think I'll just have

fannying around has died down.. Grrr... Must rememer to keep my

of course. If you know that dropping stuff on yer foot is gonna hurt,
you're a damned sight more careful where you drop stuff.

besides, who was it made the most fuss about having to wear proper boots
going round the brewery?

Sorry, missed the first posting. It's a chap called Martin and the
colour is the one used on the Lara Croft Defender jobbies. He really
has made a superb job of it - inside and out. I was rather impressed
and have nicked a few ideas off him

Ah, I was mishtaken, then. Thought it were you who had my spare one
which had been sat at Warrens for a couple of years. Actually,
thinking about it, it's probably in my shed...

Have you got an email address for him? any chance you could email it
onto me (assuming he wont mind), or mail him and ask him about the
spare?

What good stuff has he done inside? you can never have too many ideas
for doing your own - I've spent ages pouring over all the camper/101
conversion piccys i can find on the net.

Yebut you were also wearing...

And kin rotton it was too. In all honesty, I was far more likely to
fall up/down the steps of Hook Norton whilst wearing them than the
sandals.

They did - and some spare "just in case"

Glad you all had a good weekend! It all seemed to go pretty smoothly.
Father's 90 went for its mot on monday, apparently there was so much mud
under it, the bloke took one look and passed it for fear of being covered!
....can see a plan coming on for next mot ;o)

For those interested, we raised a bit over £100 for cancer research UK,
which I'll send off this week. Shame a few more didn't attend so that this
was a bit larger donation.

same, just got in from the garden, where I split it open yet again,
still at least I got my garden sorted and brokered a deal with the old
chap next door to look after his garden cos he never does and is away
from april to october at a caravan at Hunstanton. Just got to clear
the weeds, dig it over, and I will have quadrupled my growing space,
as SWMBO is none to impressed with borders full of beans, peas, carrot
and tates!!!! Good black land here so really good for superb veg!

He emailled Graham (Graham, are you here yet or still recovering?).

The panels on the sides and roof are all padded - superb idea. The
roof panels are now just two panels. I'm certainly going to go this
way for two reasons - firstly I keep getting my hair caught in the
screwheads but more importantly, I keep banging my sodding head...

The panels are all attached with industrial velcro so can easily be
removed (in my case a very good idea to get at and check the wiring).

I did wonder if the velcro would be strong enough, but having seen the
way he threw it around the offroad course - it seemed just fine.

His wife (who was with him during this) is actually pregnant with
twins (making three preborns at the event!).
