IT WORKS!!!!

Changed the fusebox, swapped the battery from my ZS over and boom. Took a minute of turning over for it to catch but once it started once it starts first turn of the key! Can't run it up to temp as the rad is split  :cry:

But still, a win!

Question: My alternator says 14v and 63amp, the standard battery is a HB063 at 360 amps whereas my ZS is a HB075 at 520 amps. My little car has alot more bollocks starting with the zs battery. Can i run a ZS battery on it permanantly without any worries? I'm not at all an electrics type person so replies in idiot speak please  :grin:

Update:

Progress has been slow-ish, been working loads but got a 4 day holiday this week and my mot is booked for Wednesday so we're on to the big push, all iv'e done since my last holiday is battery, radiator and clear vinyl over the stickers iv'e already done, iv'e now got to get the 2 tyres fitted on the front, n/s c.v. boot, finnish the sevice and play with the auto choke and get it to start a little easier, theres quite alot of cranking involved and when it starts it's bearly running at all until it warms up, i'm sure it will get better when i start using it daily but i need to try and get it working fully. Here's a couple of pics from the past couple of months.







until tomorrow.....

oh and thanks bellend (never thought i'd say that ) went a bought the battery and it was right on!  :cool:
