    Hi Guys Sorry for the dim question, but I'm looking to get a new battery for my T2 bay and wondered which would be best for me?

    Evening everybody, I'm after a little advice if you don't mind. I bought a D Reg T25 1.9 petrol watercooled Autosleeper just over two weeks ago. The main battery has gone flat for the second time. The current battery is a HB065 which I believe is from Halfords and is not big enough for the...

    I have a good 12v everywhere until I switch the key to the first position, then it drops to 7.5 ish, from the fusebox right back to the battery. I can get the car ('74 beetle with alternator) going with a jump or bump start, but nothing from the starter using its own power. Not sure where to...

    BACKGROUND: I've got a Euro mkIII Golf that I'm about to store for as long as 2.5 months in the Caribbean (warm/wet climate). The car has the OEM immobilizer (but NO alarm) which I love for the added security as a prior car parked on the same spot was stolen by thieves. QUESTION: If I pull the...

    Hi, I have been jump starting my 72 bay every weekend so I decided to buy a new battery. Since I have fitted the new battery the left indicator now flashes twice as fast as it did with the old battery! I've had a look at the wiring and everything looks the same (just incase i dislodged...

  13. Aircooled Mechanical Tech
    Just putting the finishing touches to my '70 after an engine swap and it would appear there is no charge getting to the battery. If i take the positive terminal off the battery, the engine dies so i know it's not just the dynamo warning light playing up. I've also tried polarising the dynamo...

    Hi everyone, My new (to me) 1972 beetle packed up today and was towed to the garage by the kind AA man. Had it ten days and done 250 miles in it, with the only problem being it wouldn't idle when pulling up at junctions, and was a bit erratic when started in a morning (but would idle until you...

  16. Aircooled Mechanical Tech
    Hi, Hopefully someone can put me straight on this please because I can't get my head round if I'm looking at this correctly or if its practical or not. The main Q is, without being overly excessive in electrical usage, can/does a LB charge faster than its being drained. (accepting that it...

I drove my bug to work and part way there I noticed that the charging warning light was on (I know I should have noticed before I set off).
