Pot Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 What's the difference between UK and Jap connectors?... (Sorry, it's a side question - I can recommend a place in Cheltenham who are the best for batteries (And had one for mine in stock (And fit for free:)), but I guess it's out of your range for 24 hrs (They don't post))...

Smaller connectors than the uk fitment, I'd cahnge the connections but have no tools down here, they're all at my house in Leicester!!

Jake Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Could you get a neighbour to jump start you and then drive to Halfords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Could you get a neighbour to jump start you and then drive to Halfords? There all very antisocial so don't fancy my chances! Worst case scenario I'll do that. As long as I can get the battery before Thursday it's all good, thought there maybe some online store that does next day delivery.

Mike M Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Is it just me it's been lucky. Both my sups have had normal clamps with lead inserts to fit the J spec batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yep, you're lucky. My connectors kept coming loose until chris sorted them out, plus a nice new battery. Looks like jumpstarting is your best bet mate. Can you not use Homestart if you have it? I have it as an option with Sky Insurance breakdown.
