About to travel home after the long weekend (a 750km trip) i decided to pop the bonnet for a once over while at the servo.

Lo and behold one of the batteries had lost its clamp down and could shake around freely. Must have been from some beach driving i had done.

Was a lucky find as the last 100kms to get home is on washed out gravel and unsealed roads (Murchison region WA) and I have previously rendered a car useless from having a battery restrained break and shorting everything out.

The worst thing tho...is that the universal battery hold down kits dont suit my imported GQ as one of the rods that holds it down needs to be longer than the other.

Guess it pays to keep an eye on stuff

Travel Safe
