    Anam

    Sad news indeed. Not long since Toots left us too.

    anam,
    interesting. America isn't Europe or here though, the little I've seen of it AGM seems to have the edge in real world use but they are a little more delicate and lack of insulation may be a factor but also so would be that EFB batteries cost less particularly for vehicle manufacturers. Until they don't of course then AGM might be the cheaper alternative.

    I saw someone put that...

    Guy,
    I think that might be a common thing in these campervan (van conversions) as I've such on specialist sites, and battery monitoring devices to your "smart" devices to let you know if there's a fear of power shortage and your fridge will be warming some fruit drink it holds.

    I've done that a few times and the reverse. Only last Friday I was looking for some kit I've not used for many years and couldn't find it to remember I've given all the odd bits away so that I could buy a fresh set and know I have enough. But as time wasn't on my side I went borrow off someone else who I didn't realise had done the same but I got enough dregs to see me through. On opening the tool...

    Like George, I had to remove the forward fitting from my original fuel line and solder it to the new line. The Moss fittings, at the time, wouldn't fit the original carb flex line. Easy job. PJ

    Hi Guy,

    The Suzuki gearbox is made by a company called Aisin. They manufacture for a number car firms including Toyota and Mazda, even the MX5.

    Agree with George EFI fuel line and clamps are cheap, simple, and you are dealing with a minimal amount of suction at the inlet to the pump.

    As for the incorrectly installed line, cut of the ends and join at correct end with EFI hose and clamps if not concurs. If concurs, remove the pipe and reverse it.

    Of course, vendor could label I guess.

    As owner of a T9 conversion, I do like the look of the Suzuki/ Barratt alternative. The installation kit looks well made and I would expect the Suzuki box to be pretty good. Installation without having to cut out the cross member is a real bonus.
    The T9 is, after all a pretty ancient design and even then was based in the old Ford bullet 4 spd box. Robust, yes, but pretty agricultural and clunk...

  • GuyW20 December 2022

    Very likely Jeremy.
    And, added to that I will forget that I have got rid of the Hardi and will spend several days searching through multiple boxes ( more than once each) looking for it!

    Summer, winter or all season Mike?

    Some people don't use their Spridgets in the winter. Isn't a summer tyre then a better choice for them?

    Or an all season tyre?
