To clarify, are you talking about doing them a week or so before the tune or do I give them to the tuner on the day and put them in then? 2 minutes ago, JETURBO said: Put the Century battery back on the shelf and buy any other brand battery in the world and fit it Trust me ! Ahahaha for $120 I'm not bothered. If it gets me by for a year I'll get another. Its no where near good enough for the current setup in the car but I just needed something for the time being. What's wrong with century batteries though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the genuine lpg plugs so the gaps are already at 0.7mm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is the smart charge on the later model falcons is somewhat confused by this output voltage the century delivers under charge and causes all sorts of Quirks within the system. I’ve rectified numerous ( not just me most falcon specific workshops have worked this out years ago also ) Gremlins,Quirks,rough idle, staling from just changing out a New Century for a New whatever else brand of size / capacity specified. As the Century battery ages it gets worse and worse yet will come up 100% perfect even on the latest expensive battery testers, There was an excessively bad batch from 2014-2017 where it was so obvious it was like shooting fish in a barrel to fix #JUSSAYN #whatwouldiknow #Centurybelongsinthebin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust his work so figured I'd leave it up to him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
