Re: Choosing a battery charger?

Thanks for the replies guys ;)
At the moment I can't drive so it is to be used for keeping my batteries in decent health while not in use. Hopefully I will be able to drive again soon and it will then be a maintenance thing to make sure they are kept in good condition.

Hi Guys, Looking at the late 05 NP (with MATT) compared to the newer 06 onwards NS. Apart from the looks are they really much different :?: Engine - The bible states that the newer common rail has slightly less power with common rail, I'm guessing that is due to the addition of a DPF.

No matter where you get your system get the dump from Beaudesert Exhaust; they remove the turbo rear manifold and custom make it to fit = much better exhaust venting :D
