Re: Battery query (it's been a while)

The alternTor also nearly fired up so I'll be needing a new one lol

60 quid seems ok for a battery so if it's a good one I might have to treat myself ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

It's about time I got the motor running again but when searching around for batteries all sorts come up. I have a rev 3 GTS and the battery is goosed. Has anyone got a good source for a new one. Or ...

Re: how many things can go wrong changing a bulb!
well i think i should hold my hands up and be honest, as i swapped the bulbs arround it seems the other one blew.
they looked ok but it was just the bulbs that had blown

Re: how many things can go wrong changing a bulb!
ye, my plan is to head to the garage when i get some time away from work in the day.
it was a bit of a wild shot on here but i was hoping there may be some sort of common fault area on them.
ill cope until weekend, to be honest it's saving me money not using it at night ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: how many things can go wrong changing a bulb!

Re: had a marble thrown through my rear window
well ye i never thought about a slingshot but when someone mentioned it the other day i figure it must have been.. it went right through the window and left a mark on my boost controller so to carry that sort of power through a thick piece of glass it can't have just been a throw. im presuming it's ...
