Re: CTEK - D250S DUAL DC - DC 12V 20 AMP 5 STEP CHARGER

Stop to camp, and you have a full leisure battery and cool beers and ice cream for a long time. recomended. :ok Much better than a sp...

Re: MV Engine solution required!

Out of interest, at what point did the fuel filter get changed. I had this problem on an mv before and having swapped and checked a lot of things it turned out to be a fuel pump/filter problem. Pump getting very hot and dropping fuel pressure after engine warmed up. Sounds very familiar.

Found another 16" in Africa

Over in Sierra Leone for a couple of weeks work. Saw a T3 parked down a side street that looked quite high up. Rear fuel filler- Its a syncro! Plastic Arches and 16" wheels too! It has a huge VHF antenna mount on the front, so I presume its been used by an NGO / Charity at some point and is now...

Re: Any tips for the Pyrenees?

Camping xixerella in andorra is a good starting point for some great tracks (old smuggling routes) into spain. Fantastic place with plenty to do. Also directly above Andorra la vella are some great pistes to the top of the mountain, one with a split screen used as target practice.

Re: 16" syncro svx 3.3ltr panel tin top for sale

Yes my van. Its just putting the feelers out at an unrealistic price! It does want a few bits of tidying, but its rock solid with no horrendous rot. Its had extra cavity wax from new and also ply lined from new. We are staying in the Gambia for at least another couple of years and we have a very nic...

Re: syncro daily driver ?

Having run syncros on a daily basis for years I have to question the expense of running them. What is the expensive parts. Pair of front discs for a 16" £75. Any modern vehicle that I am interested in (well built german cars) will cost that. We also run a bmw330d and if the auto box lets go it ...

Re: Front cv joint

Just fitted one on my work van and one on the family bus. This was last week and they have not fallen off yet! To be fair they look good and come with a good amount of grease, gator, clips, nut etc. You can never tell how strong the metal is by looking. They will never see real punishment like the u...
