We purchased a new pair (for less than we were expecting), and Brandt duly set about installing them. Horrors!! Sparks flew - there was a direct short to earth somewhere in the wiring. This occurred on Friday, and he, plus a friendly and helpful neighbour, tried in vain to find the short. The services of an auto-electrician were called in. He was only able to confirm the diagnoses of the "amateurs". So it was off to Bunnings to stock up on AA and AAA batteries. I also found a cheap LED lantern there too.
The new batteries were a smaller size than the originals so a bit of Kiwi ingenuity was called for:
Wood etc was scrounged and after a short while the batteries were once again snug and fitting in their possy.
So with minds finally off the power supply the clean up began, inside and out.
