Hi All. My daughter's car has a flat battery, and I want to go up in the Tuscan but need to jump start it when I get there. I assume I can do it from the Andersen connector leads, but has anyone tried it? Any risk of frying the electrics in the Tuscan?
Cheers

I don't have a Tuscan (a Griffith) but there's nothing special about TVR electrics (other than how hot they get under the bonnet) but I would say connect it up, keep the Tuscan's engine at fast idle and see if your daughter's car will start. smile

What Rich said....Sometimes worth leaving the flat battery to 'soak' for 5 mins whilst Tuscan at fast idle. Often depends how discharged the flat battery is.
