New Battery

Old dead battery on left New one on the right

The battery in the S7 has been on its way out for some time now, fitted about 8 year or more and with the car being laid up in the garage for the last few week it has now been killed off for good.

So before Mr Brown sticks the VAT back up on everything I gone out and got a new one.

The new battery is for a 1999 2.0Ltr Ford Focus, so it should be up to powering the S7.

It's only taken me

16 years to get round to wiring these up. I have been driving around all this time with no instrument lights apart from the main pod.

Only the other week when we were out for a drive Becky asked why the rest of the instruments weren't lit up which my reply came back as it not wired up to anything and it was on the to do list.

Well today I had to hang about waiting for the gas man to check the meter and got bored and this is the end result
