What's Happening?

[beano500]

Well everything as it should actually!

Having been away for two weeks (gosh - isn't 10 degrees cold when you're used to thirty ) the Griff started first turn of the key and is running nicely thanks to a couple of PH tips

First a solar powered trickle charger (£20) seems to have kept the battery healthy.

Second the damp has been kept well at bay by Moisture Mate (about £3 each and I used two).

Excellent tips from PH


Now I'm off to get some new shocks fitted today.....

I noticed your absence!
Hope it was for a good reason

[beano500]

Have you bought anyhing recently?

[DustyC]

Apart from Diesel and greasy fry ups, nothing yet.

Shame you didnt make it to Racing Green on Sunday.

Not that it would have made any difference. Out of the 3 billion people there I only recognised 2!

Im gonna have to wear a name badge next time!

Went for the moisture mate meself and works a treat. I got it from Halfords for £3.99 IIRC.

Am also possibly interested in where to get the solar charger from.

I got ours from the local caravan dealers, £5.

Caravan Dealers is a good tip - I went to a big branch of Hafwits and they, apparently, had never heard of it.

It's "Bell Moisture Mate Absorber" and I got it from www.waudbys.co.uk by mail order at just under a fiver apiece

I couldn't initially remember where I got this from but it's JEM marketing which is also GEM - www.shopsolution.co.uk/gemstore/detail.asp?prod_ID=96

For £19.99 I thought it would be worth the gamble!

Solar trickle charger:
Never thought it would be useful for the third car that is always in the garage but just realised I could sticker the charger to the garage window and run a longer cable to the car! Hey Presto!

Do you leave your car out? is that why you need the Moisture Mate mate?!
Or is it for the interior?

[beano500]

Was regularly garaged until September, but I've moved over to my g/f's place and ... shock! horror! ... no garage!

Most painful bit is that you can't just leave the top off most of the time!

When I asked matey in the shop if he had any "Moisture Mate" he wondered what the hell I was on. Then when I said have you got any Moisture Mate mate he knew straight away
