Well, you can't do both days at the same time, can you (unless the Mirthmobile has a flux capacitor  )
Good on you SS.

As in ill go back home at night, i wont need a room....
And as for the flux jobbie, most people view the rules of physics as unbreakable, i see them as a challenge.

If the light is on at all (not matter how dim) your battery isnt getting charged.
The light simply comes on as electrickery comes out of your battery and not in.

My charge meter registers that its charging good and the voltage is over 13 volts. The lights are not allways right  Im forced to wonder if theres a wiring fault on it, The rev counter isnt reliable either.
If you start it and disconnect the battery the lights work ok too. And the battery hasnt gone flat even with all this cold dark running. the old one was nackered though but it looked like it had been on there from new.

think it needs to have a charge at the battery of at least 14v to fully charge it mine shows 14.4v at battery (going in)after i left all lights on for 20 min to drain battery to test alternator

Good Luck Haps, take it easy on the Access Roads leading to the Quarry, they give a Hard Ride in the Fronty so I don't know what it'll be like in a Smart ... Should've mentioned that I was nipping over to the "Boat House B&B/Pub" Lastnight!!
Great Food yet again!!
OK, the B&B is £55 notes Per night for the Room .... this is
En-Suite (Shower & Loo), DVD/VCR Combie TV, All Usual bits of Tea/Coffee making Facilities, Very Quite despite being Above the Pub and one Flaming Gorgeous Full English Breakfast in the Morning.
Regretfully it's actualy the Cheapest I found in the Area.
Other B&Bs were asking £50 pppn !! whereas this is the Room and regardless of if anyone else decides to crash in the room it's the one price.
---------------------------
Saturday AFTER having a good play at the Quarry we have been given Permission by the "Boat House" Management that we can invade the Car Park and use the Pub and there's no limits on noise level so, a social After is sounding fun and the Food is Very Reasonably Priced .. (Full Rack of Ribs with Chips,Peas,Salad & a very nice BBQ Sauce for £8 !!!)
