    Fitting second battery

    Well I have fitted mine in the second battery tray on the n/s/f of the motor means you have to move a few things but seems the most logical place to me. but you will have to find somewhere else then to carry the jack and wheel chock. plus its easiest place for adding all the wiring need :)

    HELP 300tdi steerng

    There are no selection slots as you think of them it. The lever acts on two seperate linkages one to the transfewr box for selecting high / low range and the other for diff locked / not locked. if the lever is very stiff then chances are its started to sieze up due to lack of use. you will...
