Funny isn't it. I wasn't sure what was wrong with Dreadnaught she just didn't feel right but after yesterday and the spanner check she feels tight again, you wouldn't think a quarter turn on a damper bolt would be so significant.

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
R.E.D Retired Extremely Dangerous
Bellerophon (2024 grello van) daily dose of disappointment.

New EFB Battery in the Car: 12.77V
Original Battery on the bench: 12.76V

For those following and doing the maths, the nett loss of capacity since fitting the EFB Battery would be in the vicinity of 20AH, that is 34% of 58AH! In that time the car has covered about 18km with 8 starts.

When I remove the EFB Battery, probably next week, it will take about 15-20 hours at 1 amp (+ rest time) to recover the initial charge. While that is happening, I will re-fit the original lead acid battery as it is almost fully charged at 12.76V and waiting on the bench.

Today, with the help of the lady from Silver Chain (my aged care provider) we did the Battery swap!!

It has been quite a week, after the battery swap, booking the car in for the 18 month service, then there was the Alternator Tutorial from Martin and followed by the revelation that the engine oil has a part to play, finding and picking up the 0W-20 oil, the car being serviced, an Error Code found in the system and then the drive home. Its no wonder I am exhausted! :woohoo:

I went off roading:woohoo:

With a difference. Through two gardens! Drove up wrong drive to a friends house, (semi detached big old hoose), dividing hedge just been howked out so big soft earth trench now awaiting a fence.
"Just drive over" friend says, rear wheel digs in to fine gravel drive.
For the 1st time since purchase last Oct. I engage LR 4wd, sailed across bumpy divide in fine fashion.

I'm no longer an off-roading virgin!
