[The Bedford Boys]

Absolutely right about the choice of battery Lynn. I had all sorts of trouble with my land rover and resorted to taking it to a trained mechanic to look at (something I loathe doing because it costs money). He told me the new batteries are no good for old generator systems, so now I have a new lead-acid battery fitted and have no more problems.

The truck I got the engine for my carrier out of had had the generator converted to 12V by the army. Even has 12V stamped into it. The truck never drove anywhere in civilian ownership so I know it was done by the army.
