Hi
It occurred to us , whilst Tony was doing a mini- service, that he had never seen the engine number on the block….does anyone know where it is?

Hi Rob’n’kathryn Thanks for that, we’ll give it a go and report back. I don’t think the handbrake gets extraordinarily hot except when you park, which is obviously heat rising, and as it was about 40c. here yesterday, it’s worth checking out, but I will say that the water temp gauge is always regist...

Hi, I notice from this thread that there is some kind of sensor for the scavenger fan.We were doing a “mini service” yesterday, and looked from the passenger side engine hatch, and couldn’t see anything that fits the description. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to tell us where it is and what i...

Hi I think to answer your question, I would say that there are vehicles which should tow, and can’t , and those that shouldn’t tow , and do so admirably. For instance, Land Rover, in their Series 3 handbook, that the Series 3 Safari is not a tow vehicle. I have owned many Land Rovers, and the best v...

Hi Now, I can’t help noticing the heading “how long is a piece of string?” I think it depends on whether they are “Simpson’s Individual Stringettes”, as advertised by Archbishop Makarios’s brother, and, as advertised, they are water absorbent, and used in hospitals. Please excuse the reference from ...

Hi again I can’t remember what the roof was made of, but racking my braincell I think it’s G.R.P. A.B.S. is more than adequate in automotive applications, and the strength is down to thickness, moulding ridges, and strengthening ribs…the same applies to G.R.P. Commonly the type used in cars is polye...

Hi
Further to my reply, the company is C.F.S. Supplies. If they don’t do anything suitable, they probably can point you in the right direction. Their postal service is superb.

Hi I have to agree with Mike…Stabilit Express is just about the strongest glue you’ll ever come across, and it will even bond wood to A.B.S. It used to be exported from Germany by Graupner, and maybe you can still find it in the Ripmax model catalogue. I last bought some 5 or 6 years ago , but the i...

Thanks, Dandy, Franco, Grumpo, Mike, David & Ian….. We looked on the fact sheet, and see that it needs to have the oil sucked out, and with your replies saying that DIY is a bit of a problem, and not much saving, we’ll get it “looked at”. The fact that it is just one fill point makes it easier. ...

Hi…Can anyone help with an aircon query? The rear aircon is blowing mildly warm in the summer, and the front is barely cold. Is this a problem that can be fixed at home with a top-up kit, or is it a specialist job. If anyone can also advise whether there are separate service points for the two airco...
