Re: Leisure battery ammeter question
Thanks chaps really useful, i`ve just suffered a flat starter battery due to my leisure being flat and low on fluid so the engine was trying to charge the leisure more than the starter.

Starter motors
Hi all can anybody tell me the difference between the 2 types of starter motor. The reason is I've just put the spare new one on, it's slightly different but makes a hell of a whirring as it slows down after the engine is started.

Re: Just one click away...
Mines just started doing similar, I have a brand new starter on the kitchen table and the solenoid repair kit in the glove box. What's the betting it finally gives up away from home at 11 at night in the rain

Re: Glo Plugs problem
I changed mine last year and had no problem, as Ady says good quality socket and undo in a smooth manner even using an extension bar if needed. As for tightening before undoing these are put in at 17 NM into an alloy head and that is quite tight. I wouldn't do it.
