New transits battery is under drivers seat

 

[H]

Would very much like to be, I badly need to get something to get my teeth into and something I can get away from the madness in

Thought about another LT, but it's overkill really, the Mrs won't want to take the whole family anywhere at the moment and I'd really like something I can just squirrel myself away in for trips out for me or me and her

I'll keep the T4 for the family and get a little something as a project - I'm hoping that a T3 could fit the bill, but as ever must be cheap so it's going to be a dog...

My thinking is ex builders panel or a minibus or something, something not too desirable that won't stick out too much when parked out and about

Going out of my tree without a camper

It's also a big question of tolerance - the Mrs won't have another LT at the moment and a Split or Bay is presently well out of our league - nope I think a nice little T3 probably with a basic interior that I can build myself

I've seen people weigh stuff in that I'd consider :lol:

if theres a hell of a lot of it:lol:

I must admit I've been amazed at the stupid arse places that car manufacturers put the batteries without there being any contingency for jumping or being jumped

its easy to jump a T3 when the battery is under the seats, easier than is its in the engine bay, definatly in a karmann

True, true.

If I ever did own a Karmann or similar I'd fit a big arse remote socket that leads could be plugged into - like on recovery vans

[H]

[Fingle]

Yep, I thought this was fairly standard. I know some people stick the battery in the back, but its not the way "natur" intended

The battery on my old Series 1 was under the bonnet. The petrol tank was under the driver's seat though - you had to take the seat out to fill up
