Claptrap Rescue: Old Haven is optional mission from the Claptrap Rescue series in Borderlands. It becomes available only after Not Without My Claptrap and runs in the Old Haven location.

Find the repair kit and repair this Claptrap.
Repair Kit
Strategy
The Claptrap can be found inside a building near the south end of Old Haven, just east of the junk yard torch that is required for the "Smoke Signals: Shut Them Down" mission. Several Crimson Lance units wander around this area. The first image shows the map location of the Claptrap, while the second shows the in-game area.
The repair kit is located to the east down the street on the other side of Old Haven. Turn left at the end of the street and head north. In the first alley on the left will be a set of stairs. The third image shows the route to take on the Old Haven map, while the fourth image shows the in-game area of the stairs.
Climbing the stairs, then turning and jumping across the alley to the other building brings one within reach of the repair kit. The fifth image shows the in-game area to jump to. The repair kit will be in a small opening on the right after the jump. The sixth image shows the map location of the repair kit, while the seventh shows the in-game area.
Return to the Claptrap to receive the Backpack SDU.
Notes
This Claptrap doesn't do anything of consequence once repaired.
Text of Repair Kit item: Jumper cables? Those might work.
It is possible to complete this mission without completing Not Without My Claptrap. The Claptrap will be in the same location, just invisible and the mission will still be able to be completed.
Trivia
Claptrap says, "I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed." This is a reference to Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. The reward text also refers to "The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" - Chapter 13. "Funny how just when you think life can't possibly get any worse it suddenly does" is a direct quote.

Story
In the distant future, in the year 2864, several colonization ships head to Pandora, a planet on the edge of the galaxy. The colonists are drawn there in search of a better life as well as vast mineral resources said to be on the planet, free for the taking, akin to a futuristic gold rush. Some time after settling, the colonists discover that there is little the planet offers aside from some decrepit alien ruins. When the companies mining the planet leave, they let loose the criminals they had employed as forced labor and left any other colonists there. Some of the settlers seek to get rich quick by discovering alien technology. Most others are just trying to survive. After seven Earth years, the planet's slow orbit brings a transition from winter to spring, and many horrifying creatures emerge from hibernation.
A beacon of hope for the remaining colonists emerges in the form of a mysterious alien Vault carved in the side of a mountain. This Vault is said to contain vast stores of alien technology and secrets. The only problem is that the people who discovered the Vault were completely wiped out by some sort of protective force. The only evidence of their discovery is a scattered radio transmission, proclaiming the Vault's majesty, but not its location.
