    Check out my post dated 28 Dec 2022.

    Yep! This looks the best deal out there, thanks. A separate search revealed that the ‘HSB’ range still being sold by Halfords are the older items and have been superceded by the newer YBX range. I’m ordering via ‘batterycharged.co.uk’. As you say, £94 deleivered.

    Time to replace the battery on my 2005 SC430. Obviously need something heavy duty with a good guarantee as a direct replacement. Just looking around online, could anyone tell me, would this particular one be a good option?

    Welcome. If you read back through all the past posts on this forum, like I first did, you’ll discover tons of useful things about our fabulous car.
  5. Perry Mahoney
    Of course 😂

    That must feel very frustrating Anthony. You’ll be getting chauffeured to the club weekend then?

    Yay! I’m the new owner. Huge shout out to Gerry for the secure wrapping and quick postage of this lovely bag.
  8. Perry Mahoney
    Nice job Anthony and great photos. 👍

    Hi Gerald. I replied expressing my interest in your earlier post below. 👍

    Hi Gerald. I’m interested in the bag but not sure if/when I would be able to collect it. I don’t suppose you’re going to the annual club meet 24/25th June are you?

    Hi Nick. Great photos. Makes all my little projects so far look very minor.

    Well, the sensor was in the boot, stuck to the offside boot hinge. It had just the one speaker hole in its casing, over which I taped a small piece of foam. Problem solved. Thanks to everyone for your input.
  13. Perry Mahoney
    Yes,I’m very pleased with the new look. I’ve only driven it around the block so far, just to check there’s no wheel wobble or rubbing. I need to go for a run and can then re-torque the spacers.
  14. Perry Mahoney
    Just fitted the 25mm rear spacers and used a light coating of lithium grease between the hub and spacer as recommended above. Looks much better now. For comparison, the pics show the offside rear wheel after fitting and the nearside before.

    Ah, thanks Glyn. I’ve just come back in from the garage after another SC430-related project so I will have a break and then go out and pull the seat.

    Does anyone have a diagram for the location of the rear parking sensor speaker. I’m going with the foam and tape solution but despite its loud volume, I am having difficulty identifying its exact whereabouts other than hearing it coming from the back somewhere.
  17. Perry Mahoney
    🤔 I too would be wary of the tape eventually fouling the mechanism in some way or other. I would have thought something like plastic clips originally held loose parts in place and the reason the roof would suddenly develop a rattle is that a retaining clip has broken free somewhere. Maybe someone could sit in the back (yeah, I know…) while you drive around, hopefully to pinpoint the exact area the rattle is coming from. Then a parts search online may reveal if there should be some form of clip(s) in that area?

    Continuing my ‘copy-what-Anthony-has-tested-first’ mode of operation, this morning I received and fitted the exact Chinese boot struts you posted about a while back. I have now ordered a set of these spacers from the same online seller. Despite their comparatively low price, you haven’t reported any issues/crashed/burned or skidded into a ravine, etc. so I’m assuming they’re ok 😄

    Hey Nigel, welcome to this very helpful and knowledgable forum and congrats on your excellent purchase. I acquired my 2005/6 facelift model 6 months ago and couldn’t be happier with it. Well, maybe if the rear seats were just a fraction more usable. And the aerial wasn’t a 1970s clunky electric model. And the sat nav screen had a few more pixels….😄 I didn’t know the back story to Rich Walker either. That’s the great thing about this forum, you learn something new every visit. Maybe catch you at the club meeting in June?
  20. Perry Mahoney
    Yes please Nick, cheers 👍
  21. Perry Mahoney
    And now both Anthonys have got me thinking I need spacers…..
  22. Perry Mahoney
    Thanks Anthony, I was waiting for someone to test one of the many Chinese sellers for these struts 😄. I’ve just ordered a pair from the same seller 👍
  23. Perry Mahoney
    🤤🤤🤤. Where did you purchase these from Nick? I have a birthday in 6 months and would like to give the wife plenty of notice…..😉😄
  24. Perry Mahoney
    Are we supposed to have a fuse removal tool in one of the fuse boxes? I had occasion to remove a micro fuse from the passenger footwell box a short while ago and it wasn’t easy.
  25. Perry Mahoney
    Just an idea Anthony, but how about purchasing a spare set of the pie dish bolts and shorten them so that, when fitted, they fill the 10 holes left from the pie removal? Together with a nice wheel centre, that would set these off nicely?
