Here's an upside down pic of my battery tray. It's now an occasional car so had a few rides out, today it failed to start when hot, like usual when I go somewhere on a drive then stop at a shop. I jumped it and Got it going but it triggered the feeble toy alarm to come on all the way back. This seemed like a good opportunity to get the battery off for a charge properly, I'd put this off all winter and kept running mains out to the street instead!
So story so far, I've added new battery terminals, they are decent and wires wedged in to them. It's been a pig all winter with cold starts and these run-hot stops too. I've not changed any cables yet. These crusty earth points can't help though. As a bodge I've wedged the thin one in with the other thin one with a washer at the bottom. What is that one? And the 2 into one at the top I've broke off, stripped wires back and wedged under a washer in between the front wing and the grey support the wings hold on to, so must be a better connection even though not perfect! Most of these run back to a connection block behind the battery with other wires bolted down. So much of it going back n forth.
I might have a drive out tomorrow and see if improved though I'm wondering if I should get new cables and connectors now and do it properly... Any advice on best way welcome. Cheers
