Spent the weekend before last with Sarah and Swampy back up in Wales pottering around the South and Mid area taking a smooch up and down some of the old favorites :0) Loved it :0)

OK, I know. I'm not about much, but I'm still lurking ;0) Had a lower wishbone ball joint failure on Swampy that took out a tyre and for some bizarre reason or another Cooper have none in my size in the country! Anyone got one that they're tripping over?

My mobile phone contract is due for renewal and I thought before I went ahead and just renewed with O2 I'd check to see if anyone has any opinions or experience of what providers work best in and around Wales as O2 have not been great for me when driving up and down the valleys over the years...

Bought this new serpentine belt from Milners last week to fit to Swampy and it was to short! This one will apparently fit one with air-con, but not one that also has the heat pump thing like Swampy has!! So I bought another this weekend from the local MF for £17 and this one is now surplus to my...

Bought a new cam belt kit from Milners and an OE belt from RoughTrax, so the belt that came in the Milners kit is surples to me. Can bring to Lincomb or post at what ever the cost is to post it to you. ONLY £5.00

I took my radiator out yesterday to give it a good clean and while its out I'm toying with the idea of replacing the ol' cam belt and serpentine belt. So along to the Milners web site and am pleasantly surprised at the price of a kit, but think that maybe its a bit cheap and that maybe the...

Automatic Gearbox Separate Oil Cooler - Do they really work?! When I bought Swampy I inherited an after market separate oil cooler installation that one of her previous owners had a well known 4x4 specialist company fit for them. After some consideration I re-installed the oil cooler basically...

Drivers side front mud flap for Swampy :) WHY?

What's the rusty looking pulley in this photo attached to? It looks to be a pump of some kind with a magnetic clutch fitted to it and looking at the pipe run I would say it something to do with the cabin heating, but I can't get the thing to run no matter what settings I have the heaters on and...

In an attempt to drill fewer holes in the new truck I've been searching and searching the net for an elegant way of having a CB aerial fitted that looks either very original equipment, temporary as in mag mount or covert. Now before you all start laughing these things are commercially available...

I removed this Odyssey PC1500DT AGM battery from off of Swampy when I bought her as the terminals are round the wrong way for the near-side battery and fitted my recently purchased Numax battery to her instead. I believe the Odyssey battery to be a good battery in terms of life. I have given it...

I had a telephone conversation with Chris yesterday and during this conversation the virtues of having the auto gearbox came up in conversation. After our phone call I sat in the truck to have a closer look at what I have, but my user manual appears to have been mauled by a Doberman and is in...

I've removed Swampy's Rock-Sliders to weld in some strengthening gussets, get them Air-Blasted and then Powder Coated. Chap that's sorting it all out for me has suggested I have them done in Red Oxide then a couple of coats of normall paint rather than powder coat as the powder coat will peel...
