Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

Provent empty! Well that is curious, cos there should be something in there .... do you still have the original depression valve installed ?
Btw - thanks for posting up that wheel nut torque spreadsheet earlier.

C'mon Epic Dragon, we're waiting, with bated breath, to see these on the car.

Looks like my CAT 115-2422 calcium cranking battery is approaching “end of life” and the electrical gremlins are awakening from their hibernation and resuming their mischief
It was installed in August of 2012 and I’m so impressed with it I’m going to buy another. The battery voltage after being parked at work after only 7 hours had settled at 12.2v and that is after my usual 90 minute 85km commute, a healthy battery should really not drop below 12.9v when fully charged. Alternator is a year old and battery connections are clean and tight.

Thanks, James NZ

Hey James, it's original part number is YNI500030K. Looks like photo attached. I had to do once in my TD5 04 AUTO.

8 years is pretty good.
I had similar from the last couple of Supercharge calcium/calcium batteries in the Deefer and Disco.

My battery bloke said that won't happen again, none last like they used to.
I fitted a Delkor this time around as he would've had to order the Supercharge in, had just sold the last one in that size (Stockist for both)

Hmmmmm! I have a quote for a DELKOR that is the equivalent to my CAT at near enough the same price... are you happy with yours?

Its only six-eight months old, so the jury is still out, but the car starts on the weekend after sitting all week.
