Lanolin rust spray options please

Lanoguard,Lanoshield, Lanolin LCP,etc,etc. Any thoughts of what is easy to use, avoid. Some reviews say it needs to be in ...

Changing coolant at home/spillage

Never had to think about this before because I always had access to a workshop and equipment but since retiring that's changed. I'll need to change the coolant next year and will have to do it on the drive. What do people use/do to drain, catch and prevent spillage? What do you do if you do spill so...

What Adhesive to use

Hi all. What's the best adhesive to re-stick my "transporter" and "camping" badges on the tailgate. Cheers.

Fuel gauge warning mark. 1.9 petrol

Does anyone know when the needle hits the yellow warning mark how many litres are left or how many miles are left until you hit empty? I never let it go below that but I'm curious. Cheers

Carthago hi top DG windows

Hi all. I've got a carthago hi top with one of the upper double glazed windows cracked. Gonna try to "patch" it with something like tensol 12 but failing that does anyone know of a company that makes bespoke sizes. I've looked at the numbers and checked sizes and can't find anything other ...

Re: Anyone used their OEM jack successfully?

Agreed, that would have been your problem. The jacks for side planks are not easy to get hold of. Let me know if you need the length of the arm. Hi Rob , that'd be great if you can tell me the arm length. Is it a completely different jack or is the arm simply have an insert of high strength steel b...

Ahh, I’ve got those so make sense that would have caused me my grief.  :?

Adding an interior light to vinyl headliner

I’d like to add a extra courtesy interior on the right side of my cab. It’s got a soft vinyl headliner and I can feel some sort of blank behind it where it would go. Has anyone cut into this? I’ve never done this sort of thing and worried about making a wrong step and destroying the liner. Any tips,...

Looking for a sealant for weather stripping

Hi all. Someone on a forum I was looking at back in December was talking about this sealant used to stop water from getting between their side window and the weather stripping. For the life of me I can’t find it and only remember the product name was a Dr. Someone. It’s very thin and liquid that all...

Re: Headlight relay upgrade

Just finished wiring in the relays, and I thought I'd do a write up in case it's of use to others who are interested in doing it in the same way.  Firstly I would just like to caveat this by saying I am no expert in electronics, and this is just the way I decided to do it after reading up on the su...
