For remembrance THE MEDIC When the bullet hits the bone The cry goes out ‘Medic, MEDIC!’ As your life blood oozes out Into the soil of this foreign field As the pain starts its evil grip You call for your mother But she isn't here, she cannot help you So you cry out for God But he isn't here...

Please can anyone advise on the length of a 2h engine, from flywheel to fan, and it’s height from bottom of the sump to top of the rocker. Need to work out if one will fit in the back of the car!!

If you fancy subscribing to my channel that would be rather lovely!!

My 60 series has suffered what appears to be a terminal engine failure in Italy RAC have told me that contrary to my belief I do not have European Breakdown Cover so I will have to recover the vehicle myself. Does anyone know where I might be able to hire a low loader/recovery truck so I can...

I so wish I could rant like this, it so sums up the ridiculous way our society has gone in the last 10 years.

As an alternative to Bad Obsession!! Quote 'Aren't you going to try it on a small area first' 'I am, I'm doing the left side' :laughing-rolling:

A few myths busted as well, such as about winch blankets

Sadly the passing of a true legend of automotive history, who hasn’t used one of his manuals? he wrote his first when still at school, about an Austin 7 he built into a racer, then his first properly published work was published in 1966, based on a rebuild of a frogeye sprite he helped a friend...

I have made the decision to start the restoration of my dads mark 1 2ltr vitesse. He bought this 'accidentally' on ebay about 15 years back for £800 (no one else bidded!). It was MOT'd and running when he got it. He ran it for the summer then put it in the garage for a 'light restoration' and it...

just been gorging on this, unbelievable skills, will make you want to sell your tools!!

Please find below information I received from work regarding IDPs post brexit. Typically the EU can’t decide on a uniform approach. I carry an IDP but have never needed it in any country I have driven in, a photocard licence is more than adequate, and there is no reason we would need one in the...

Me, and the family have just finished our first house sit looking after a wee doggy and a cat which was very successful and are now looking for another, anything over 2 weeks between now and May, looking at within 120 miles of St Albans preferably. So if you want someone to look after your...

So, we have taken some time out and intend to spend the next 12 months doing a few trips, interspersed with the ocassional trip back to the UK to earn some money!! Our first trip was intended to go to Bulgaria, then Romania and then Ukraine. Lizzie, my 8 year old, is being educated on the road...

So,I have organised a trip with Morocco Overland beginning second week Feb. The cost is £600 per vehicle, if we get more than 3 vehicles the cost may be able to come down a bit, but at £600 that represents very good value in my experience. The tour will be 10days starting on second week of feb...

Just done an Expedition skills training course last week and one of the most useful vehicle based things I saw was the flip flop, or Kochansky winch. we righted a rolled vehicle using this and a snatch block to do an off axis pull, and then winched it out of a bog hole doing this. The main...

HI Karl, you answered my post on facetwatter about front axle rebuild kit for my 60. You can contact me through here if thats better

Got my tailgate back from Latitude overland after having a locker fitted, very pleased with the work. These guys: http://latitudeoverland.co.uk Met the guys at the overland show, they were pitched next to Alpine Rovers who's stand I was helping on. Was very impressed with the examples of...

just been exchanging messages with a chap oop north about some 60 parts and apparently he has a customer who’s on here who is taking his 60 to Morocco, who that be?

PIcks of the relay as promised

Just bought a part from Australia, the part cost £19.48, with £31.28 postage. Parcelforce have charged me £8.23 VAT and a clearance fee of £11.25, that comes, rather coincidentally , to £19.48. Seems like a piss take to me, anyone been through this and know what the deal is?

I don't know yet if I'm going to make the overland show, if I don't is there anyone who might be able to collect my water tank from Chris and get it a bit closer to home than Sheffield where he's from?

From the Ozzie 60 forum, apparently if you stall going forwards, and let the vehicle roll back, or vice versa, you can end up with the engine running backwards!! ONe of the guys did it and found he had exhaust smoke coming out of his snorkel!!

This is for sale by a community nurse. It was her late fathers and has been in the family since she was 8 years old so it has a lot of happy memories for her and she would like to see it going to a good home. At the moment she’s just got people making her silly offers who want to rip her off and...

Off roading in France is now banned, if you go on tracks you run the risk of massive fines. A dutch group of 15 vehicles were stopped in the Alps, 750 euro fine per vehicle. Payable immediately. Some couldn't pay so the vehicles were loaded on to a low loader and impounded, 150euro per day...

I've got over 1000 pages of manuals in electronic format if anyone wants them including the engine manual, Body and chassis, hubs, maintenance procedures etc etc. The files are upto 100mb so I think too big to email so if anyone wants a copy they may have to send me a memory stick, PM me if you...

So when fitting the new clutch the garage managed to muller the rev counter cable where it attaches to the flywheel housing. I got in touch with my contact at Toyota who's good for 60 parts, none in the UK and Toyota have no stock and aren't making them anymore. Tried the 60 series guys in...

So we are languishing in Troyes with a broken alternator. rather suprisingly Toyota can supply one at reasonable cost but they need to know if the standard one is a 30amp or 40amp. Mine has no markings on it. Can someone advise which is the right one. My vehicle is UK spec HJ60, no aircon...
