Can anyone recommend me a basic trickle charger to keep my battery intact when car is not being driven, as it struggled to start the car last night after being off for about 2 weeks

apparently or Pals at super cheap have one.

yeah at least it's overtime if anything happens after 5 or over the weekend. Even if I just answer the phone it's about $250

Geeze that's not bad, I like Saturday work. Puts me on $36~ an hour. If I can do I Sunday it's gona be a good pay slip lol

Hook jumper lead a to terminal n and jumper lead b to terminal p. proceed to attach the remaining ends to your testicals.

Car should remain charged for the rest of your life ;)

Their website says that have many, but what's the difference between a $69 one and a $219 one?

Don't really wanna spend over $100 for something i wont use often

On Call, is great. I make double my salary from on call.

It would be annoying though, no beer etc

If I work on the weekend I double my pay compared to if I just did it during the week...

No beer for 7 days at a time but every time the phone rings thats $85 and if I have to even start the car that's $190 minimum.

not bad my ot rate is about $155 an hour but it doesn't really happen all that often. Wet get paid some pissy allowance too but I think it's a around 40 bucks. Not really worth the hassle, you just hope to get a few calls that don't result in going out lol

generally, the cheap ones are an outright charger only.

the expensive ones have the trickle charge function.

or, take for good drive.

then, disconnect battery.

stops anything draining.

if you want to stop it completely, will have to find whats draining power.

yeah I disconnect. However I don't have a radio or clock to worry about resetting

Though when I went to Gladstone recently I racked up 34 hours of ot in the week. The tax man came at that pay packet like a spider monkey.

I paid more in tax last year than my wife made, I want a dole bludger as my butler for that shit.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
