Hi Terry....welcome to the Forum I would be tempted to drill a small hole in the rear where the water is collecting and insert a grommet once you have put some corrosion protection on the bare metal....better to let the water drain out than sitting there. Also, worth sealing the light unit gasket to stop any further water ingress. If it was me I would also fill the affected area with waxoyl or similar anti-corrosion wax treatment. Good to have you onboard

not sure exactly where they would be located but would assume there would be one near the top and another somewhere near the bottom or at least both at the top at the same level and a plate securing it at the bottom (look underneath the radiator to see if there is a bracket there) Let us know what you find

Hi....welcome to the forums Good to have you onboard

Only thing I can think of is matching clutch driven plate to the input shaft splines to suit the new gearbox.

I can imagine the old one is a good quality battery but tired and the new one may be defective

Thanks for the update so far Cliff.....hopefully the rear mushroom may improve it along with the front one

Thanks for the update so far.....good luck with it p.s. best check the battery terminals are clean and tight just to be sure its not that

Hi....welcome to the Forums Ask away and hopefully we'll be able to help you out.

Hi Carl.....welcome to the Club Have you tested the alternator for output...should be around/just over 14 volts. If providing specified current/voltage then I would suggest that the battery is defective (albeit a new one). Had this in the past where a customer went off to get their own battery and fitted it but not keeping a charge. Told him to take it back as it was a cheap one and spend a bit more money on a premium battery.....you can tell the difference in the same size battery by the weight of it....cheap one is a lot lighter as not much lead inside. You get what you pay for sometimes! Let us know what you find

shouldn't have a fuse on speaker wires as no large current in the wires. I would run a continuity test on the wires to see if they are intact or if there is a break somewhere or even or connection block in poor condition or loose connections

Let us know what you find
