Delightful Douglas sailed through his test today but he needs a new battery- old one isnf holding charge very well. Anyone know what battery he needs?? Dodge e reg, I know it's a 12v car but god knows what type!!


However he is now sadly on the market- hopefully his new owner will keep his name so he can stay on the dream d team!

Check on here re the battery required http://forum1.aimoo.com/Dodge50

I put a new Bosch on mine last year after having been told the one it came with was not to the original spec; all starting issues immediately solved.

Yep definitely make sure the battery is the right one, there's usually a choice of a standard and a high power option, I always go for the high power battery. It provides more 'punch' for starting (technical term is cold cranking amps!) and basically is the most important part of your electrical system(bar the alternator).

My VW LT35 coachbuilt is in better nick and better built than some of the newer 3.5 tonne boxes you see advertised! 1987 E reg built by Cooke Brothers, horse box from new I think, we call him Herbie

Stalled for 2 facing forwards, although we only carry one, small living, loads of lockers, cupboards for all our junk, side ramp, rug rack, lights, hob, sink, bed, table and chairs! ha ha not back for 25 years old

his best feature is his roll down steps lol

We recently did a 500 mile round trip on £100 worth of diesel and ran like a sewing machine all the way there and back!
Love him x
