39kg lighter Compact

[mike_babb]

Every KG counts in a Compact! Original owner specced a tow bar from new but I've been dragging it around on the back of the moho for about 10,000 miles. Now removed. I can't believe how rusty it is for just three years old. I know it's just surface rust, but the van looks much cleaner now it's removed. Not sure what to do with it now though, I wonder if there's a market for them.

I saved over 30kg by removing two ridiculously heavy gel batteries and replacing them with one LiFePO4. I also gained a lot of extra useable Ah.

Yes, I did the same. Still gong to have to up plate though as I've added a/c, spare wheel and a garage full of 'stuff'.

And 39Kg of weight right where you do not want it.

I took one off a CI many moons ago. The change in vehicle handling was magical;.

It'll come in handy, (one day) maybe.

Get it stuck on classified.
