As title need to alter my batterys I have a bank of 6 x 6 volt Trojans one of them has a dead cell ( I know I have to take 2 off ) one other battery is a little low  ( number 1 ) so I would like to swap that one with the second one ( number 6 ) of the two that comes off i.e. Take number 5 off that has the dead cell also take battery 6 off and swap it with battery number 1 , as I don't have any tools just in case it needs new leads , any one available obviously will pay

In what way?

 

It's cheaper than the winning narrowboat at Crick and at least it has usable living space being a fatty ....

Some really helpful hints thank you, luggsy you were going to put a picture of the drain off and pump you have done to make life easier in the future, which would be really helpfull

 

[Draining Coolant]

We have a Barrus Shiers 45 I was like you I had doubts about doing it was worried about getting air locks in the system, I had the antifreeze for nearly 2 years before I got round to doing it , all that panic was for nothing piss easy to do , hardest thing was getting the coolant out off the engine bay , not any more though. After I drained the system I modified the pipe work buy fitting a drain off and adding a pump to the outlet, I  flushed the system out five times just pumped it straight into 25ltr drums , I used 5 year antifreeze but the next time i do it will be even easier now I will put a picture on tomorrow how I altered the pipe work

I can only speak as I find but everytime I've been through Torksey Lock, Neil has been there, in charge, and his friendly, cheery advice on exit tides and all things and his good sense has made me believe he is one of the best.

I'm sorry to read what I have on here, but then we all let ourselves down on occasions.
