I think my problem is battery never gets fully charged. Short trips plus too many gadgets, gps, reversing camera, DcDc charger for battery in tub. Then we hookup caravan, power to fridge while travelling, power to second DcDc charger for van batteries, 2 x 120ah AGM, electric brakes. It all adds...

Hi Tony, I have no room for 2nd panel but have found this which may solve my problem. Can adjust charge between batteries.

Hi Tony, have a 100w panel on roof rack and cetek dc charger for battery in tub. Have been planning on fitting another controller to also charge start battery when ignition off. How do you think it will work with 1 panel and 2 controllers?

Anyone tried Varta batteries, was the original brand installed. Was replaced by Nissan dealer but seems they fitted lower spec battery. Who would have thought that, lol. Looking at G14 Varta Silver Dynamic AGM Start/Stop BATTERY – 36 Month Warranty (42 Months in non Start/Stop vehicle)

no fancy stuff as the charger is over 10 years old. It is wired thru a relay so it switches between alternator and solar panel on roof, start battery is isolated when ignition is off, solar is then connected.

My 2011 STX550 is very hard on batteries, have Engel in tub with Cetek 250DS charging a 120ah Full River AGM. Start battery has died again. Looking for a better one, currently Century DIN85LH MF. Would a century DIN85LH AGM ISS be a better option? Alternator is pumping out 14.6 when idling...

Thanks Cowboy, the flat rubber on mine is folded back under lid. Will have to removed lid and fit new one. Thanks for pic.

That would be great as we are also away, but holidaying not working.

Hi Wayno, on my lid there is also a thin flat rubber strip but it seems to fit inside the D seal, could not figure out what it could do. Maybe it has been assembled wrong. Would you have pic of your setup? Thanks.

Thanks for the info, I think the 20mm one is the go. Will have to remove lid first to check how it mounts.

Need new seals for front of hard lid, had lid off and not seated properly when lid refitted so seal is badly squashed and leaks. Appears to be 2 seals a bubble type seal and a flat rubber underneath it. Has anyone found replacement seals? Have been searching but not found any.

My sump was replaced under warranty in 2015. Thread had been stripped. They had vehicle for 2 days and I think they had to remove transmission. May be easier and a lot cheaper to use a helicoil or similar thread replacement tool.

Thanks Tony, my Dobinson springs just sagged dramatically. How much higher did the rear sit with the OMEs?

Hi Tony, how are your OME rear springs going? My Dobinson 150kg constant load have given in after 7 years of towing. Carry Engel, battery and assorted gear in tub full time plus 250kg ball weight when van is hooked up. Also use WDH when towing. Undecided if to replace with Dobinson again. Some...

STX550 2011 model, rack is starting to leak from steering column input shaft. Is the rack the same as a normal D40? Is there a seal kit available for them?

Hi , tony. Could you also email me the list of V9x codes please. May help when travelling. Thanks

Tried clearing code several times but engine might kept. Coming back on. Finally drove about 10k with no light. Restarted light back on. Cleared code drove back home and light has not returned. No pending codes after 2 days. Thanks

Long story, just installed new Jonny Tig intercooler with all piping, unfortunately snapped small pipe on radiator under cap. Fitted second radiator and all seems to run ok. Except engine light comes on P2457, EGR cooling problem. Has been remapped 2 years ago and egr blocked. Could this be a...

No further problems. Code never came back.

Solved my own problem. Clock Spring supplied is the wrong one, steering angle sensor fits on but does not have any grooves to drive it. Gave Nissan Spares the VIN number but still wrong part supplied.
