Decided to knock up a storage unit for the rear to utilise the space above the wheel arch.

Several sacrifical cleaning implements later. And having used almost a full bottle of wheel cleaner things are looking a bit better. Although on close inspection, the wheels are still pretty crusty. I dont think anything less than blasting and powder coating will improve...

The tubes at the back looking somewhat tidier.

Stiff wheel nuts will no longer be an issue.

Decided to "do something" about the tow bar and spare wheel carrier Both are looking a bit orange in places. Getting the spare wheel off turned out to be a right bugger. Even using an 18" breaker bar, then standing on it, one wheel nut wouldnt budge. Time for a good...

Yeah, 3 litre diesel. :) Surprisingly solid. It was undersealed on import and is pretty decent underneath.

The wheels still look pretty grotty though.

Well its taken some effort, but after 4 days of grafting, its a bit cleaner. I did get through 3 bottles of foaming carpet cleaner, a whole bottle each of interior and exterior surface cleaner, half a bottle of glass cleaner and at last count, 22...

I know 2 people in the UK with Partner stoves. Both were bought direct from Partner who shipped them over here. Have you emailed them?

She's gonna need some serious cleaning.

Just collected this 27 year old 150K miles truck. Shes a bit grubby, but drives superbly. :) A couple of quick snaps of the beast. She's a Mk3 SSRG, KZN185, 3L intercooled with centre diff, overdrive and winter pack. One owner since import in 2004 and 16 years worth of history and receipts. It...

Thank you, that's good to know.

Wow, excellent refurbishment job you are doing. Are you doing the work in the Netherlands, or Russia?

There are lots of parts available in Europe, try these vendors. https://www.bits4vits.co.uk/store/index.php?ccUser= http://www.jimnybits.com/ I keep looking at the 2002 - 2005 Vitaras. These had an uprated interior and the diesel lump puts out a few extra horses.

I have driven manual vehicles fitted with ESS. Normally it turns the engine off when you set the parking brake and restarts when you press the clutch. After driving with it a few times, it seems natural and doesn't require any extra thinking about. It just works. :) I would presume the starter...

I have a small pepper mill filled with a mix of pink and sichuan pepper corns. The sweeter pink corns complement the spicier sichuan ones nicely.

Hi All, Just wondering what the preferred radio options for Europe & North Africa are? I always felt CB to be a bit taken over by idiots in the UK, but with the recent extra channels and SSB usage, does seem to offer a reasonable package. Not sure how popular this is in Europe though. I also...

Nice job you've done with the Rav. :)

Hi all. Does anyone have experience with the early Hyundai Tucsons? I was thinking about getting one to use as a weekend camping vehicle, as well as a daily driver. I am in the UK, and the 4 wheel drive system offered would probably be fine for anything I was planning. I am happy it would be...
