Are there any 12v or 24v 4.2td complete engines out there? All ancilliaries etc, maybe even the box as well. Ive had a price which made me wince, I might get lucky on here?

Hi Shayne, On one point you are correct, you cant lose more than you stake (but if you are actually mining then you can use more electricity than you earn through the coins minded though). I'm going to generalise, but things are not infinite and many of the new systems are "deflationary" where...

There are some valid points made in this post. I am fortunate that a good friend is obsessed with Crypto and has been for a few years now. Invest without doing your homework and you might as well throw your money down the drain, if you fancy a dabble, treat it like its money you can afford to...

Asking for a friend (honest!) - anybody had a problem with the speedo drive leaking oil? O-ring renewed and started to leak again soon after. The level bung is out because it was being topped up :thumbup:

The only image I can find is one in mid-prep before rubbing down and smoothing the epoxy paint (shame it was white!) - took about 8 yrs to become a nice shade of grey.... Its coming back to me now - the axle was off because I tore the radius arm brackets, so I remounted them a little for some...

Pictures ;-)

I used some surplus industrial paint from work - I dont think it was anything special - just a 2 pack epoxy resin paint (e.g. garage floor type stuff). All I did was degrease the balls, rough them up with course sandpaper / dremmel and then painted - still good now :-)

Cheers Felix - turns out they are 10 a penny (well about $50 aussie) on Gumtree - a friend of mine is shipping me one over (just waiting on collection, some strict lockdown over there still)

Does anybody know of a front bench seat (with seatbelts) for a RHD 80 series / Or even just the part number? As rare as hens teeth over here I believe but a few around in Aus and Africa apparently?

They look well, I must do the same, I am one bonnet opening from not getting in again on my blue one. You might find its a subtle blend of many components just showing their age a little, whilst the 4.2td is no rocket ship, it should be able to hold its own a fair way. I cant quite make out if...

A bit of a win with the centre diff lock mod today - I took a chance on e-bay and ordered the centre diff lock out of a RAV4 SXA1 that was being broken - £15 all in. It was listed with the number off the moulding on the case - 157438 and not the proper part number (not sure what the moulded...

Completely agree, I would like to think that many 'new' owners will have a some period of maintenance and making good before the love dies.

Awesome - will have a looksee

HI Dave, Its my biggest fear - making it immobile for days!

Cheers Gav - I will try and keep a log and post anything of potential interest. Its been interesting catching up on old posts for sure.

Those rads didnt owe anybody anything, long life lived! How did the re-gassing go?

Cheers Karl. Its far from the worst out there and a good base to work up from. The biggest negative beside what was mentioned in the first post is that there was a "patch" repair to the nearside rear sill, whilst its MOT ok, I think I will cut it out and make it neater in time. Assuming I...

To allow me to lay up my 4.2 TD80 for a while, I picked up a 4.5L 24v petrol LC80 last week (189,000 miles - Jan 97 Reg) - generally it is in acceptable condition for its age and seems to be running fine. I am more than happy with the price I paid for it - none of this nonsense that seems to be...

It was quite a while back, but I seem to remember it was that simple yes.

Yeah its Annual Chris - I have done it most years. I know I am not the biggest inputter on this forum but the point of reference and knowledge justifies £15 to me.

11 years mate! The longest time I have kept an off roader by about 10 years :grinning:

I couldn't do it Karl. I stopped the sale, manned up and hit the mud. Poor thing needs some love right now before neglect kicks in.

I just tried to buy the annual advert removal to support the forum but I am getting an error message of: "Thinks dont appear to be working at the moment" when paypal try's to open from the forum link.

Hi all, long time no see :grimacing:, I'm still busy off roading with the diesel 80 but it really is getting ready for some loving mechanically and cosmetically, so I am thinking of laying it up for a while and perhaps even pickup it. So I am looking for a stopgap truck to let me play - Ive...

:tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

In good condition (no tears etc) but covered in dust and dried mud - gotta love kids!

Yes mate! Grinder coming out this month :-)

As per title - Do the 3rd row seats (grey leather) have any value on the second hand market? Whilst I am at it - what about the 2nd row? 3rd row in good nick, 2nd row scruffy but not torn There was no response to this post for cloth ones.....

These people that say they wouldn't be able to spend the money if they won the lottery - I would be broke within a month!

As Chris mentions - its fixable but its going to take time and effort to do properly. A second hand unit if you need the truck on the road without downtime - or a good weekend with lots of grinding discs, new metal and a mig welder. Personally I would go second hand to keep running and if...

I bought a Nitecore Tiny Monster 28 about 4 years ago - it is epic. It was also £400. Its also very trick - 6000 lumens for around 45 mins to 2 lumens for over 1,000 hours - s.o.s., strobe and everything in between all controlled by a camera type shutter button. Its used regularly (even car...

No - its not fitted with a inter-cooler. Its factory standards 12 valve.

I agree and disagree on that comment with equal measure - in performance terms a charge cooler will always outperform an inter-cooler if you can cool the water down properly - unfortunately thats the hard part, the charge cooler adds another inefficiency in addition to the already inefficient...

pffff - my recent 1HD-T change was quicker :tearsofjoy: Another similar

haha - nah, I cant see it when I dragging it so no worries! :-) Its the balance between space and convenience at home, I have a big ass caravan that takes up enough space. It only carries the tent and BBQ etc, no weight there, it is handy for the one nighters when I cant be bothered to drag the...

Was good to meet up and put some faces to names. I will there for the Saturday next time to catch more off road Feedback - distinguish the camping signs from the from the off road course signs :smile: - my poor dinky trailer. First Disaster - taking the camping trailer around the pylon...
