So they’re powder coated but with ‘chrome’?
It was this Mike. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/220938794526Great work Jon, let us know how that works out with road noise or vibration etc. I might like to do this to mine.
What year and model landcover??

I actually did something to the car ... okay, it was only fitting a new battery but I found it wasn’t that easy to get one that fitted accurately under the original hold-down case. All good to go now though ...
That's something I need to do. Any advice?and fit a battery isolator, for vehicles that are infrequently used it can make a huge difference, my car is unused in the winter for up to 5 months, and the battery always starts the car with ease.
I doubt that would happen if it was connected constantly, even though there would appear to be no draw on it, they just seem to lose charge if unused but connected for extended periods.
I once forgot to isolate it, and the car was unused for 8wks, it barely started!

I've got mine on a battery conditioner at the moment which keeps it in good working order, but I'd rather isolate the battery so the clock isn't running all the time.
Excellent, thanks for that I feel a little fabrication coming on!I used a battery conditioner for years, but having experienced with and now without, i would go isolator every time, i think the trickle charge is good for aged batteries, but if you've just bought a new one, just use the isolator
My battery is now about 4 years old, never seen a trickle charger, and has never let me down.
I have one similar to this

with the wiring running through the back of the glovebox, for in the vehicle convenience, or just use one of these direct on the terminal
