beko1987 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Nobody in my family event bats an eyelid when I run off at the fairground to take pictures of trucks.I'm the same! Run off for 20 minutes finding all the old trucks for the relevant thread then find everyone later! Fair was cancelled this year though so nothing this year Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzy Woking Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The Saab 9-5 Aero I was offered for £250 that I offerred to my nephew making no profit(!) has now done 2000 miles in his ownership. He serviced it last Saturday, and even dropped the sump, which was teported as being as clean as a whistle, and the occasional oil light flicker has stopped. Still needs to do the ARB's as the suspension creaks and groans a littleHowever, like most of his cars which he uses to destruction and never cared about, he really likes the Saab and even washes it each week. Looks very repectable purplebargeken, HarmonicCheeseburger, myglaren and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hope it still works. Those old lead acid ones get seriously grumpy if they're not regularly charged. Lovely gesture though.I think you're right, it's been on charge since yeaterday evening and it's not working at all. Anyone know how to repair these or is it a case of chuck it away?

somewhatfoolish Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 'Repairing' consists of replacing the battery, as it will be fucked. Lord Sterling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hmmm, may aswell just purchase myself one of those newer smaller battery jump jobs as I've already a couple of compressors, just need something to start the Sterling if the battery decides to run out again.

Lord Sterling Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Take it apart and look what battery it is, they're usually cheap from ebay maplin or rs componentsJust had a quick shufty; Yep, it can be replaced but is a bit of a faff to get the battery off, replaced and it needing to be kept on charge almost constantly. Anyone fancy it for postage? Or free if picked up/relayed? It's got all the mod cons, torch, air compressor, jump starter leads and all the gubbins that goes with it. No charger though, used one of mine to try charging it up. Doesn't look like it's ever been used, clean yellow case and leads very clean.

DodgeRover Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 What charger are you using? You might need to hook it direct to that battery with another in parallel to get it charging. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Just a normal AC 230 charger, similar to what would have come with it originally, though it would've originally come with a AC 240. I don't think it makes much difference. I think you're right, it needs a boost of some sort to boost it back into life. I don't think it's ever been charged.

cobblers Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Those batteries are about £35 off ebay for a cheapie (thats probably better than the one already in it) or you can get a very good one (Odyssey PC680) for about £90. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordperv Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 look at this lovely omega ive seen it about and I like it alot The main grin was I spotted the last car my dad owned before he passed, it came from the right on the roundabout just after i took the picture of the omega so I slowed to let it past me, the only downer was i expected to see him waving at me from behind the wheel It's really nice to see it about philibusmo, taxi paul, Cavcraft and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
