@Bat21 is doing a conversion on his at the moment I’ve traveled with a few Toms conversions very nice workmanship. Pete at Atlas Overland has been running one for a few years now.

pretty much a motorsport supplier will have a range of studs in different lengths eg Demon Thieves, Merlin Motorsport etc

Just discovered 3 of mine have vanished. But £18 for 50p’s worth of parts is crazy

ah I'd seen something similar recently on a VW,

Well the remain parties are gaining as many seats as the leave..............so far

I believe it might be a VW?

Sponges are well known to be about the worst thing you can use on car paintwork (short of a Scourer. Have a look on some car detailing pages and it’ll teach you a lot about the best ways to clean a car To minimise swirl marks use a MF Mitt and rinse regularly and wash after each use. Jacob...

The cleaning method is causing those swirls marks in the paint. A sponge, worst possible thing for paint. Get a micro fibre wash mitt and wash it after every use.

Made by Dometic/Waeco (like many other brand fridges now) just a different case afaik

How did you get through the mine field into the PFZ? MW7 is quite a way from the border. N14 east is very much off limits to tourists. Not a place to be messing around. I was down there 2 weeks ago used 2 fiches, probably back down there next week again. You only need to had out cigs if you...

The two bolt solution

Where did you get arrested by the UN? Western Sahara?

Sod trying the squirt stuff into it just bolt it up, no more rattles

Mtec discs and mintex pads on mine

Drilled 2 holes in mine and used a nut and bolt in each. Worked a treat

Looking great Charlie Fancy joining my Western Sahara trip in September?????

Nice Easter View, I suspect tomorrow may involve snow!

Been getting more and more popular over the last few year. I seen a good 20+ Overlanding. I was surprised that they are only slightly wider and longer than the 70 double cab

Google ‘snapped pick up chassis’ then decide if you want a camper body with all the weight on the rear axle. The current Iveco daily 4x4 is a good option. Same size as a 70 series double cab and much more payload

Yes I have been following and keeping quiet. I’ve said my piece and we’ve had a debate. At the moment I’m in the Western Sahara providing support for a film crew and a certain Overlanding celebratory who is writing a couple of articles

the code is for a type of plastic according to google

dot 3, 4 and 5.1 are interchangeable, dot5 isn't.

the scout handshake (left hand) has different origins. One theory is it comes from the Ashanti tribe. For them a left hand shake was a sign of bravery as the warriors had to drop their shield to shake hands. The other is Baden Powells promotion of ambidextirity

Only used ac on one my trips. Most long term overlanders I’ve met or travelled with don’t use AC either. Your much better off acclimatising to conditions than sitting in a cocoon of cool air. Only time I recall wishing mine worked was in 40 degrees and a raging sandstorm so the windows...

Should have told Mohammed you know me, you'd have got a better price ;). Moroccan mechanics really are something else especially in Merzouga and Zagora. Ramlia is well known for the locals giving bad advice on routes and then trying to make some cash getting the out, @jjsaul had a similar...

mmm, multiple warning lights is usually alternator related, there are a few threads on here with similar issues https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/help-dash-lights-all-on.142064/ https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/dash-lights.136331/

Alternator/charging issues Martin. Check the voltage at the batteries when the engines running to confirm

Partly correct but after 20 years as an environmental professional running and planning aq monitoring regimes and assessing the results I prefer to rely on the information obtained that way. Certainly no money landed in my pocket to alter or corrupt the results and some of that was Eu and...

The nice thing about facts is that they care what you think

yet science says otherwise...………………………….

strange, was posted on a FB group the other day!

Great video, very well edited and shot :)

I think the replacement head, gearbox rebuild and new rad pretty much tells a story of big problems in the past somewhere, possibly the oil cooler failing and gearbox oil/coolant mixing. If on inspection the underside is ok (and ignoring the wrap) its a 5k truck tops

People forget that just because you spend money on uprated suspension, wheels and tyres etc you can't just add that value to the asking price. As soon as you walk out of the show room with new goods the value drops 40% A refurbed gearbox and head add nothing to the value imho

That was James, (posts as Tembo on various forums), trying to get into Morocco. Good news is they now don't care about military looks getting in. Poole/Wimbourne area has few gearbox specialists, a Toyota 4x4 guy and an expedition place, all very low key and I can't remember names. One of them...

looks like their expedition preparation has been advised by some internet "experts" Now I love my 95, but I wouldn't spend 20k on it

I haven't misquoted or deliberately misinterpreted you once, you stated that this was an EU requirement and I asked where you got that information from. Here is the direct quote from YOUR post, not misquoted or taken out of context I'm not trying to discredit you just understand where you get...

Why is it that you repeatedly make claims that the EU are responsible for whatever, yet when asked for some evidence to substantiate that claim you can't provide any? surely if there was any basis for the claim then evidence should be easy to provide? Spain has not ratified the 1968 Convention...

72 countries have ratified the 1968 convention, and 96 have ratified the 1949 Convention. That's a long way from "virtually no other country" as you mistakenly claim. That leaves 27 were and IDP arrangement doesn't apply. Where's the evidence to prove your claim that the "EU have stated they...

The EU haven’t decided anything in regards to IDP’s While the U.K. is in the EU we come under an EU agreement that IDP’s are not required for citizens of member states travelling within the EU. As we leave on the 29th we leave that agreement and the systems reverts to IDPs for us driving abroad.

Like many posts here it’s got absolutely nothing to do with the EU. The Vienna Convention is an international convention not EU. It’s up to individual signatories to decide on its application.

I think we managed shit productivity and manufacturing long before that Frank, just look at the crap our car industry produced when the unionised labour force weren't on strike......

been bad for me for months, very slow loading, links seem to take about 30secs to become active once the site loads. Also regularly get errors saying site can't load due to a long running script. Both on my phone and laptop, doesn't seem to be any different on different connections either

Where in Dorset are you from? Not many of us down here but a handful over the border in Devon
