Re: Batteries drive me crazy
Just thinking.....The two batteries that came on my Ford Cargo 2420 in 1987 were still on it 8 years later when I sold it on?? But having said that, it was used almost every day for those 8 years barring most sundays....a real working truck.....paid for itself and bought houses.

Re: MOT requirement changes

Re: Batteries drive me crazy
Like a twit I left the 4x4 on my Unimog on and I think the warning light must have come on or the buzzer when I parked it in the Barn and the air ran out. The batteries are now so discharged that my charger can't get them to start charging. Worst is they are about 3 months old Varta Truck batteries,...
