Car battery

[Max Demian]

Halfords claim to do it for £20-£30. I wonder whether they know about all the complications of codes and resetting?

[The Natural Philosopher]

No, but they know how to add a secondary battery before they disconnect the first :-)

[Tim Lamb]

Job done Max. Like for like battery with clip leads to maintain the supply. Much upthread discussion about necessity for coding the battery change. Clearly a change to a non stop/start type would risk incorrect charging provision. I haven't yet checked to see if the car has noticed any change:-)

The ones that killed you in a head-on crash, or threw you out of the door in a roll-over crash, knocking off the fuel cap in the process and occasionally turning it into a giant catherine wheel.

With a roll-over cage, wider wheels and tyres and driven by professional drivers too.

It was from the 1950s, what do you expect. The crash footage of a belair vs a modern chevy was shocking. Not a question of whether the driver survived, but whether the rear seat occupants survived. Front seaters had no chance.

I remember seeing one drive into a concrete wall at Kyalami race track. At around 100mph. Ok there were a couple of tyres in the way. It leapt about 8 feet in the air, settled down with a crash, and everything went quiet. Then the driver got out and threw his gloves at it in disgust. Full roll cage and race harness....
