    Steering wheel slop

    I'm having the same issue. I've followed Frank's guide to the T a few times time now. It works for a bit but then goes back to to being sloppy. I've changed tie rod ends and can't find any apparent play anywhere. Is there anything in the steering rack that might cause this?

    80 Series rear Gullwing Doors

    Yes Clive, we're doing the whole hog as far south as Albania and then back up toward Romania via Macedonia and Serbia. We're very keen on Romania and the plan is to explore the Sub Carpathians, of which Bucegi is highly anticipated, then follow the horseshoe north. We're aiming to be there...

    Front Runner drawer set **SOLD**

    Complete set of Front Runner drawers on offer. I have these installed in my 80 series and they are great but the only issue I have is that my National Luna fridge sits too high on the drawers and I'm unable to get to the inside easily. I'm somewhat vertically challenged It comes with a set of...

    Who is doing what maintenance today?

    Looks a good repair Nick. It's the next job on my list and I've been dreading it. Still unsure who to use for repairs.

    One owner 80 Series 12 valve manual import.

    Just been offered this 80 series from a colleague's father. He has owned it since 1999 when it was imported. Looks in pretty neat shape. Rust free as far as I can tell, everything (even the sunroof) works. Interior is unmarked cloth as he's kept them covered all these years. Around 125,000...

    Bakkies Botha does Portugal.

    Thanks Chris. They have mostly been taken with an SLR. Some pics are near on 5mb.. Most of them loaded just fine but then as I'm trying to arrange them some suddenly disappear and all I get is a small white icon that shows a broken picture. Good tip on the screenshot though..

    Taking a Vehicle back to SA as a returning resident

    Howzit Shayne, I've looked into myself some time ago and I found a few things. They say as long as you can prove that you've owned the vehicle for more than one year in the UK, that you are planning on settling back in SA (closed UK accounts etc) and a few others things, you should be able to...

    Bakkies Botha does Portugal.

    So, for our Christmas break we decided to pack up and head as far south as European roads will take us in search of sunnier climes. The rough plan was to bolt across France and NW Spain to reach Northern Portugal where we would pick up a trail courtesy of Wikiloc. The trail was recorded as North...

    Nice meeting you too. They were aloof and rather unfazed by our return to begin with, until I broke out the Dreamies (treats) at which point they were bouncing off the walls with excitement. :happy-bouncyred:

    Romania - Clive's House and Excursions

    Thanks Clive. Beautiful scenery, especially the autumn colours on the hills. Just added Romania to my list of "must visit someday". Very pleased that Marius's cousin pulled through although deeply sad for those who lost their lives. All the best. Sam

    80 series suspension

    I've been reading through the trip thread last night and I can't see anybody pulling out. I got myself well excited and when I got to page 10 Mark wrote that the trip is pretty much full :wtf: Maybe I'll express my interest anyway. I saw the slinky kit on Julian's truck and boy, does it sit...

    80 series suspension

    Thanks Garfieldus! I'm doing a bit of shopping around at the moment and working out what will suit my truck in the long run. I'm getting it back tomorrow from Overland Cruisers so I can then start getting a feel as I've not done many miles since getting it a few weeks ago.I'll be in touch. P.s...

    80 series suspension

    That sits nicely indeed. The articulation is pretty impressive on these too. What sort of lift do you get from these? That looks to be in excess of 2 inches. Did you have to extend brake hoses or the like to accommodate the lift?

    80 series suspension

    Hi Garfieldus, Do you still have these? How did you find them when your truck was laden? I'm looking for suspension for mine but looking for a happy medium between Laden and unladen. What are you going for instead? Cheers, Bakkies

    Proud new 80 owner

    Cheers everybody. I've waited a long time to own the renowned 80. She's a stock (almost :icon-cool:) 1995 Manual 24 Valve with 164k on the clock. Intercooled and diesel pump twiddled so it's pretty lively. I have big plans! Looking to turn it into a proper overlander just like some of the...
