Anyone suggest a good battery for me? I herd Pulse can be good? I am not going to replace this battery. I need dad to call sometime so I can ask him where the battery charger is in the lockup so i can take the battery out and charge it (on that note doesnt charging require a ground? how can you aquire a metal grounding when you charge from one of those Socket chargers off the wall?)

:) Was going to pickup tight arse tuesday fuel to. :yes:

check your light in the boot goes off properly when you shut the boot

that's what drains my battery.

I shut the boot, the light goes off but if i go over a bump, the light comes on again and drains the battery when i leave it a few days.

My battery is almost dead.. then again I haven't started the car for like 3 weeks.. eep!

You can buy awesome battery charger kits that you can just plug and play. I have one for my bike.

Even switches off one the battery is full.

Go to supercheap and get one of those $30 solar panel chargers, they work awesome, and they work under flouro's (in carparks). They have a cigi plug on them but most cars the cigi lighter is disabled when the car is off so you either need to hard wire it or get a cigi female plug with allitators on it. I had battery problems when i went away for long periods, but this fixed it.

Is jumpering an option? It'll save you the waiting time. That's what I do pretty often and the cables I bought from Woolies for $11 I think they were. I also have a trickle charger and it doesn't need a ground. Steve you are right about QT, I get that too.

    • Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛
    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
