well i've just replaced my old landrover/varta battery with a nice new 020 bosch from europarts, cost £117.44..
even with the bonnet in service mode it was still a bit of a pig to get the thing out of the well..all done and the FFRR feels like its running better, maybe more current is going into the numerous ECU's making them more efficient.. ... - .- -.

Scarey

Do you have the part number please?

Think the battery on the TD6 has just given up the goast.

Had to use the boost starter twice this week and when leaving the shoot today no power at all

its a type 020 bosch nigel with 110 amphrs and a 920 crank ...europarts is the cheapest and best place to get one... ... - .- -.

Would you believe it after 23 boost starts, last 1 not even enough power to move the steering wheel, 1 night of frost and she's 100%



Might get 1 anyway as there is a europarts a couple of miles away, stick the new 1 on the TDV8 and taht 1 on the TD6.

TD6 will be parked up for a week now, so will see when we get back.

now's the time when batteries start failing so it make sense to get a new one if you've had non-starts..good idea re putting the new one on the newer car ..  ... - .- -.

There was I thinking smug, FBH working fine, battery only 2 years old , cold weather, no problem. WRONG

Got back to the car after walking the dog, not enough juice to turn it over. Switched everything off I could find, still no joy.

Had to get a jump start from another dog walker

Got home and checked the forum and have ordered a Bosch S5 for £120 delivered. Should arrive today


FullFatRR really needs a 110AH battery

agreed stocky, the td6 is a big lump and there are loads of electrics on it..i'm glad i got mine when i did .. ... - .- -.

I'm going to have to change mine, it lasted a whole 2 days of being parked up before it went flat. 2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

what a new one or your existing one.. ... - .- -.

I'm reading lots about flat batteries on RRs and the owners are replacing the battery but still having flat battery problems. It might be worth having the electrics checked out for excessive drainage before replacing the battery.

Stocky, don't forget to put your bonnet in access mode otherwise its an absolute pain to change the battery with loads of skinned knuckels, bad back and pain...

''service mode''..  ... - .- -.

Would this fit a FFRR Td6 - http://www.tayna.co.uk/610-200-Varta-Silve...P3200.html

yes definitely, the Short Code is I1

just a point dave, if you get the battery mail order and it goes pants then you might have a problem getting it back to them, buy it from europarts [if theres one near you] and you can take it back ... ... - .- -.
