What does a mk2 box look like mate?

 

he actualy means the grey box,,, what most of us call a mk1,,,,,, however the mk1 box had about 5 upgrades , so there are grey mk1 boxes that when you take the cover off, say mk2 , mk3 ect.

 

there is of course the new mk3 carrot shape,,, but a year or so befor its reelease there was a mk2 carrot shape,,,, but it was discontinued cos it was crap.

 

hope thats not to confusing

So it's a mk2 version of the old grey mk1 box.

Its pretty easy to repair that wire lead to the battery ,and when your doing it make it longer so you have a bit more room to connect the battery .

More correct is it's an old grey mk1 box with a mk2 variant of the wheel.
