tomburras 2,730 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 why is it every mk1 8 foot locator box iv baught over the years never picks up at 8 foot? the 3 iv have had all pick up at 3 - 4 feet. is this a common problem? can the one i have now be repaired and if so roughly what does this cost? does yours pick up at 8 foot? cheers Quote Link to post
