| All fitted up last night.  Just need to adjust them a bit more. Currently gas is on max (they have 43 different settings!!) and the springs are a tad high.. Came in a nice box and everything!! Included a pressure test etc readouts   All new gas internals etc and new spring lock nut system  | |

| It's not too bad. The only 110amp hr I could find that will fit under the spare wheel well without any mods. It's only 190x353x175mm. A snugg fit! It is to run all the extra electricals! PS2/Tv/lights/inverter/stereo etc when driving and then switch over to hook up when camping Bought from here: http://www.tayna.co.uk/ELECSOL-110-Carbon-Fibre-Battery-P5553.html Next day delivery was a must! | |

| not sure where I'm going to locate a battery at the moment.. the space under the spare wheel will be consumed by a full flow oil set up with small radiator/fan... propex under the RnR... running out of space!!  | |
