Is he a skint arab? I'd of thought someone who owns 2 billion barrels of crude would be buying a 2012 Overfinch or Sport to pimp up, not a 15 year old RR?

Dopey, you're not Ryan Giggs are you haha

As above, can anyone recommend a decent spares place which won't Ron me blind for the above? Cheers

Had a quick scan on eBay for l322 wheel nuts, and looks as though the newer nut style are slightly tapered at the end but have a thicker outside diameter, which I'm assuming I need for my wheels? Thanks again

Currently got a 2003 TD6 with 20" alloys on, and the wheel nuts are flat faced (the bit that presses against the wheel in the nut recess. Just got a set of alloys from eBay and not sure if I got the right wheel nuts for them? Heard there are 2 types, are the other type tapered for when they...

Maybe I got it wrong then :o:o:o:o

90% of my trips recently have been between 1-3 miles at 4am, so heaters on, front and rear heated screens, heated seats, lights stereo etc, so I vouch for data's opinion, I had new battery on a year ago, got best I could and I managed to drain it with short journeys Thanks again Data for...

Right guys mr AA came and jumped her back to life first time. He checked the alternator was charging and it was pulling/charging 72 or 74amps? That sound right? And he measure the battery and at first it was 14 (can't remember what) and it slowly increased as she was ticking over between 20-40...

Cheers Pete And is that volts DC? :confused::o:o:o:o:o

Data, I've just ordered a 5watt one off Ebay, should that be OK to just plug in my cigarette lighter socket and leave on dashboard/rear shelf when parking for a few days?

Cheers everyone Bigdel, the resistor you changed, was it expensive and hard to do? I'm sure mine had one changed, possibly something to do with the HEVAC (I think?) on recall? Im not at home til tomorrow so cant check the paperwork

Cheers guys Fort, so measure amps while she's turned off and just sat there, and amps when running? As blue beasty said 14v+ (volts) when running? :o

Guys Sorry for the basic question, bit how do I check to ensure my alternator is working properly? Thanks again

Del, think it had one of the resistors changed as a recal laction before I bought her, was theone you mention one of the ones done as recall? If so, she was done as I checked last year what the old battery gave up on me after a 2 week holiday

And really hoping Data's opinion is right, I simply dont do enough long trips in her....

Cheerrs guys sorry Data didnt explain myself properly I dont think, didnt mean will a solar charger get her breathing again now she's died on me, just wondered if theres any special procedure to go through when AA man gets here to get her started? I remember last year when indy changed my...

ooops good idea :)

Are they pretty much like for like? or is there a better spec/rating one to go for? Any advice greatly appreciated guys

Cheers Data So will Mr AA simply jump start me and I gotta run for a while and put a charge back into it? I cant plug it in to charge overnight as park away from the house, what are the solar chargers like? can i plug one in cigarette lighter and sit it on the dashboard? Thanks again mate
