New Batteries

Just when we thought the car was completely finished... Since our last post we had a whole list of things done to the Landy. Wheel carrier, split charger, electrics... The long list of things to do has now reduced to smaller and smaller jobs. Although, we are realising that the list of things to do never really goes away. Its just part of owning a Land Rover.

We have also learned that no matter how much time and you spend fixing things, the stuff you haven't fixed or given any attention to will still continue to break. We learnt this lesson when doing a morning run to the shops on a cold Saturday morning - the car wouldn't start. A quick call to the RAC, an hour wait and some diagnostic looking equipment all resulted the only possible conclusion - the battery needed to be replaced. Not only was one battery dead but the backup was dead too. So off to the garage to get two new batteries.

Lesson of the day - stuff will continue to break and the RAC do not cover Africa. The only option is to replace everything.
