Eggzellant …… presuming the lugs, terminals are the right way ? It’s the correct one !

Battery is just facing back to front , positive + terminal will be in top left hand corner when fitted 👍🏻👍🏻

[Mossypossy]

That will explain why the table didn't fire up.

Today I have been measuring all my suitcases and doing volumetric calculations based on the cubic capacity of the boot. I think I have cracked the Tetris puzzle.

Will do the dry fitting run when it actually is dry.

black plastic bin liners will be best then   .... cram into each and every crevice 😉

Ok

Will these fit in the boot of an SC430?

 

[Bob King]

Now do we guess or have you tried 🤔

[Mossypossy]

Guess.

Strange thing is my Battery position is exactly that, but when I went to the Battery specialist shop he told me the Exide Battery was the only one on the market that would fit the SC 430. Sounds like he was wrong?.

Going with NO.

You see the white one in the middle

 I could live out of that for a month. The other two might just about contain sufficient to keep the wife happy for a week.

[Mossypossy]

White one is mine. Others are for the wife.

Strange that....

 

[Malc1]

She must be commended on “ making do “ with such little luggage  10/10  she’s a STAR 🥳

When I said NO I had thought it meant would the tonneau still close and the roof come off. Without that constraint as you show the boot capacity ain't bad !

[Mossypossy]

And space left over for a picnic!

Is the spare wheel in one of the suitcases?

[Mossypossy]

Back seat!

New Battery fitted perfectly and fired up a treat.

Old Battery still duff.

UK sticker applied, Franch crit air sticker stuck, auto toll device hung, hi viz jackets stashed, warning triangle stowed, tyres pumped.

Not bothering with beam deflectors as this car does not need them apparently officer.

I use a tomtom for my trips out ,low on screen right hand side .

[Mossypossy]

340 miles driven today. Staying in Normandy for a few nights now.

Still quarter of a tank left.

Bit of a leak in the boot just under rear screen.

 

[Malc1]

What’s your likely mpg now ? 
Malc 

[Mossypossy]

30.1 showing. Will see when I next brim it.

 

[Malc1]

Sounds pretty damn good for a V8  ☝️
