Ven I become supreme ruler you may have as much personal freedom as I Iike.

Your results are comparable with mine albeit over a slightly shorter time period. The SOC is basically useless, but the voltage charge is enough for the purpose required.

Apologies Barry.

Can you post up a pic showing them currently. Let's see if we can work out a solution that does not involve having to strip the inner door panelling etc. Are you confident the metal is Aluminium? I thought it was ,but I am not exactly an expert in these matters. This is one of mine and the otherside is virtually the same. I imagine this is more or less the start of the process, but would progress over time.

Apologies on the mixup. It was Nigel who detailed his seat restoration and it really stuck with me. The what he had done if not the who done it. Par for the course these days, heck I turned up a week early for my bloodtests yesterday so it's just a question of time until I have to start wearing a collar with my name on it and a return to sender address ! Anyway, something good came out of it as I looked over the video of Nigels car and noticed he had a similar issue on his window trim peeling so may be I will find out what can be done about that.

I see on that car the black outlayer on the window trim is exposing the metal below. I wonder have you investigated what would be involved in resolving that issue. Mine as a similar issue albeit very small which I would consider having done in due course depending on what it entailed.

You clearly had a good base to work from. I have never heard of a mileage so low on a SC 430 lucky old you. Spent a little time looking at Japanese imports and there are some very low mileage examples there ,but still nothing of your ilk. I remember the shot of the undercarriage you posted and that was also clean as you might imagine given the miles travelled. You also laid down the process for restoring the seats which is what I would like to get on with next spring. Essentially I am just going to copy the process you outlined. Initially I was just going to get the chequebook out and hit everything I wanted to do, but I have rethought that. Now I think it would be more satisfying to take more time and try to do as much as I can myself. Have you ever seen another SC 430 and thought that's so good I wish I had that rather than the one you have? I have not , but of course I have not seen any others that were not just in photos.

"Have I missed summat ! " According to Herald Wales you didn't miss the little old ladies cat😉 Obviously 9 lives is a myth !

Everytime !!.. Moreover they park close to your drivers door !!! On my planet we never let this happen, oh where is the monthership when I need her 😃

If you believe people have dogs that reflect them then could we extend the concept to cars? If so are you happy to have on your headstone "here lies Jazz"?

I think I would have liked your Uncle and with respect it is a good thing when other people understand the boundaries which they should not cross. Our life afterall is ours to live paying respect to others where it affects them. I have two pairs of leather shoes by a company called Sargent. I could easily have bought 'other' shoes for the cost of sending these away to be resoled by the company. However, those 'other' shoes will simply never ever have the enduring quality of the Sargents.

I can certainly see there will be many more Porsche on the road.

Title of the thread threw me. I wondered why are they talking about me.

Oh, that is what I have been doing, but my paste still stays as a text link and does not create an image to be clicked. I will try that again on a Beth I see what I have been doing wrong. Been clicking share then copy link which does not work the same as clicking the link in the bar. Good to go now though. Thanks Steve

Now we are talking ! Hard to believe how young she was when she started and she still had that voice that sounds like she as a quart of bourbon and 40 cigs a day habit. As an aside how do you copy the image and not just a link? I've looked ,but still cannot see how that is done?

After reading this link I realise that strange as it may seem to the reader the problem I am getting is once again attributable to the idiot in charge of the car. Car Battery Voltage Chart UK - Car Battery Geek All my mysterious readings are not so mysterious so much as I don't know what I am doing. Anyway, all is clear. Nothing wrong with my battery. Nothing much wrong with the battery monitor other than to understand what it can do well and what is to be ignored. I will keep the monitor because all it needs to do is accurately tell me what the voltage is and from that I can estimate depletion and know if it needs charging up. Job done, out, going to comfort eat a donut whilst gently banging my head against a very hard surface.

I have come to the conclusion the thread was mislabelled. Definitely should have been 'drink for thought' if the will to live is to be preserved.

Malc, it appears to be the number with a current MOT, so not necessarily inclusive of all SORN.

Clearly educated that crime does pay !

I've seen the will. Sit you in the drivers seat ,down to the crushers, wee small metal cube interred for eternity.

Mysterious indeed. Just cam eback from a short run that would not really help charge. For interest I put the tester on and whereas the reading early today was 55% ,it had now risen to 88%. As I say the drive was far too short to make any impact so I am at a loss to explain this change. A drop from the 100% yesterday to 88% charge today is probably still a bit heavy, but nowhere near as drastic as the 55% read earlier today. Anyway put it back on charge with a view to get 100% charge today. Then I will disable the alarm and read it again tomorrow morning. I will play with this for a few days and see if any pattern emerges before I decide what to do with this tester.

Valid point and surely speaks well to the build quality.
