Work is hell, hence you guys will note that I lost a day!

 

Yes, tonite is good, say 8.30 to 9 meet up at Kallang KFC? This is the one where Macs is next to it. If food is bad we can defect to Macs. Brother Phang, come out la. Apply leave from Ministry of Home Affairs

I will shop around. A battery is a battery, and unless PML's policy is that another battery will void any warranty, I see no point in getting a more expensive batt if a cheaper one works as well.

Here is a summary of a real world battery test done by a German magazine. It is not the 19 Ah variant, but results generally confirm what we know already, Yuasas and Vartas are top. The Odysee was better but not that much better.

What are the symptoms that u experience wic prompt you to change the tensioner?

[ducatitan]

Rattling sound when idle. It was Eris who highlighted the sound to me when I had only wanted to reset my ABS.
