[@mondodaftasabrush]

I think you need a business head on why fit two to make it reliable when that other solenoid is a potential breakdown and more money to earn parts in stock easy fix got to keep them kids fed and watered never mind the struggle bus

[@dieselhatz4247]

@@mondodaftasabrush I understand that, but there’s 200 odd quid left in the JCB cab, not in the struggle bus, seen many a spare “vanish” from a cab. I’d of fitted both, wasn’t a long job anyway, as both were paid for, and not by myself. If the other one goes and the spare is missing, who pays? Not sure how many strugglers operate round there, but if the other fails, the spare is missing, maybe next time the owner phones someone else? That’s my business head on, maybe I’m just cynical. Not arguing with you, return work is always appreciated., like the welded hub, Chris offered to renew it, owner said no, get it welded, it’s failed again, so now it’s replacement time, no harm or foul there.
