Which one?

I looked at these and thought about fitting one. Just went with a mechanical isolator in the end as some of the reviews online were not favourable.

That’s good to hear. On a D3?


I’ve fitted the isolator, and it fits as it should. Just as well as I’m not in the office til next Tuesday and I’ve fitted a new battery too.

I’m mainly using my MCS for hooning around and short journeys. The A8 gets wheeled out for work and longer jaunts.

I bet. Does it run off the battery, or have it’s own source of power?
