    RC30 - remove battery

    Hi Smalley That was timely advice, thanks. I actually ended up putting the original battery back in after charging it for a week solid (ASV dealer suggested it had worked in the past). So the battery lasted a bit longer and then died with the cold weather. So a new one went in today...

    Do you run your mini-x at full throttle?

    Land Rover Defender 110 TD5

    Hi CM Have you priced out a set of replacement injectors in case yours go. The TD5 motors had really really really really, really expensive injectors. Something like $1000 each australian when first released. I imagine they are cheaper now but if you have to import them it may hurt. I love...

    what did i get myself into?

    When I was a plant mechanic the local cat dealer had a bloke not pay for a set of swamp tracks on his d6. After 8 months of runaround they went out to the swamp and unbolted them and drove/winched them off and left it there :o. Never did find out how they put a new set on in the mud. :beatsme

    Where/How to Learn?

    Can you do a course. Here in oz they run operators courses so you can get your ticket and learn the basics. I did this, learnt the very basics and safe operation and then learnt on my own and asked other operators.

    RC30 - remove battery

    Well I spose I am a southerner, being 90k's from the bottom of the bottom of Aus :tong The prob is that the battery is tucked away in the left rear corner of the engine bay and the fuel pump stops it coming across far enough to then lift up and out of the corner. The top of the...
