Once it's in and it's making good power I can fix the bad mains & the low oil pressure issues on the motor that's in it now and have it for a spare.

WOW!!!!
That was quick! The Brown Santa just left a heavy package on my doorstep about the size of a shoe box.
Westco is here. I installed it and the car started right up. :cheers:

17 and a half months later, Westco is Dead. I'm getting a prorated one for $25 but they say not to expect it until Monday. ::Rant::
BTW, I accidentally left the interior light on over the weekend and drained it. After that, it would never hold a charge.
The one I got from Vatozone 3 years ago is still working strong.
BR do you save all of your threads so you can resurect them later?
Oh and sorry to hear about your battery. ;)
. . . but how often have you completely discharged it? My second OEM has 40,000 miles and 5 years of use, and it was free from the dealer ::Banana::Quote:

My original Panasonic lasted around 10 years, and my Westco has been running strong for about 5 years now.

True. :punchout:Quote:

It seems a trickle charger is on my must-have tool list. Any recommendations? :confused:
