I can believe in the battery - but I'm buggered if I can see how you can pull a whole bunch of current through the weedy little wires to the clamps...

Yes me too, but the one on the your 4x4 episode worked and seemed to work well, it was an Isuzu 3.0lt TD, so I'm assuming it should work as well with the D4s 2.7lt TDV6.

Baz.

This one lives in the pouch in the back rest of the passenger's seat in my D4 Baz. Bought it some time ago on special at one of those 4WD and Camping Shows.







I've never had to use it on the D4, but it has worked OK on the couple of occasions that I've used it on the D2 and a mate's Navara. The battery in the car that you're "jumping" still needs to have a reasonable amount of charge - I wouldn't think that this thing would start a car with a dead flat battery (though the manufacturers claim otherwise).

I've found the best thing about is the range of adaptors / plugs that came with it. I've used it many times to charge phones / cameras / my portable wireless hot spot etc. You can re-charge it either from mains power or from the cigarette lighter socket in your car.

Has come in very handy on more than one camping trip.

That's spot on BM... If the vehicle is flat - these things don't have a chance!

Even the pack I have will only just push a dead (and I mean dead) TD5 over..

there are youtubes vids where they start a car with the battery removed.

I've got that exact sjs one that Eevo put up.
It'll start a 4.6 when the battery is at 9v with no trouble at all.
The motor did snap start though, and I wonder how much winding time it would have given me, let alone a diesel with glow plugs. .

However I've only used it the once.
