Re: Hanging up the leathers eek

Anyway i never said anything about scroungers.
The difference is the specialist is here to earn money from the pot i have paid into. Paid very well too.
I am not looking for sympathy. I am not in the minority neither! Or am i?

Re: R1. 2004/5 Reg rectifier

Thanks Tony.
I made my decision after reading about the Yam mosfet rectifier.
From what i could make out, all rectifiers have a limited life.
The mosfet is far superior. Trouble is hacking into the loom, never a great idea.
Next cct's!!!

Re: R1. 2004/5 Reg rectifier

It is.
New battery and rectifier were £84.
Sorry i asked for advice and went ahead and did my own thing. But i came to my conclusion based on this.
Thanks all JB

Re: R1. 2004/5 Reg rectifier

They dont always cook the battery. Just undercharge.
£30 on a second hand rectifier wont covera new battery either. A previous boss always told me either buy new or reconditioned or new. Secondhand can fail at anytime with no comeback.
