So, a bit of a crappy morning today. I stopped to pick up some stuff from my workshop and the truck wouldn't cut out - just kept cranking over. Not too far to the garage so thought I would drive it round there. Instruments started to die on the way and then just round the corner from the garage the whole truck died - no power left at all.
Got towed to the garage and the starter motor and switchover solenoid (for the 12v to 24v system) are kaput and it has fried both batteries. Garage just phoned with a quote of £359+VAT for the starter motor and £532+VAT for the solenoid!!!!! That seems rather excessive for a solenoid. Does anyone know of anywhere I might be able to get one at a reasonable price?
Thanks,
Rich
