Loose battery clamps

As the positive post is larger than the negative I was wondering if someone had fitted the wrong clamp on the negative lead at some stage. 

There are pukka battery post shims available if you haven't already tried them, eBay item 362003348190 is an example.

Could well be only happens ocasionaly, bloody annoying.  Andy, I changed the positive clip myself, try and get a two cable clamp. :S ended up have to get one on line. The negative clip is original. 

 

Mike, no , new one on me, what is the stuff?

AHAA! Thanks Andy, just looked on e bay. That was the sort of thing I was looking for. Renault used to have them on all there vehicles with a screw on top for the connection. :thanx:

If you get a new battery cable, BE SURE and do not run to a car parts place and get one of theirs. The ones there are a #6 which is for 12 vt. A 6vt should be at the least a single 0, or double 0 is better. Half the voltage, is twice the amps.

This is why a lot of 6vt systems will not work right.
