- VL Calais V8 Manual
Just got myself a real nice VL Walkinshaw rep. running a 5l manual out of a 98 SS Commodore running a clubsport management system.
The issue is the batter is been moved to the boot when the upgrade was done last year so when cold the "Beast" (as my 4 year old boy calls it) starts well every time without miss. Get it up to running temp and it a whole different story.
It tries to start but just sounds like a flat battery, if i leave it for 30min, still sounds like a flat battery still but will start.
Car has a new (X large) battery, auto sparkie says it not pulling the amps when hot, standed problem with putting battery in the boot he said.
Looking at putting battery back under the hood, can anyone tell me why this seems to be the "in" thing with v8's and should i leave it there or move it back.
