  1. In that case Tow a bunch of these behind it
  2. Did you get a mowing deck? Did I miss that
  3. @Cazza Needed a bike carrier, and I'm cheap, so I made one. This is the upright. I cut a short length off the top end (because the tube wouldn't fit through the lathe chuck) and machinedout the inside so another piece of tube would fit down it. Then welded it back on Ground back, lovely Started on the removable crossbar/sticky out bars top bit Finished. I tweaked up the angle of the bars since then. The tube pointing at where the bikes go is so it can be "folded" up Smooth So originally I was attaching it to the car into the hitch reciever. This is the part at the base of the upright that goes into the receiver. Aaand I didn't get any pics of it on the car in this guise, so use your imagination. I did have to make an adaptor to fit the samurai, as when I made the bumper/towbar I guessed what size the hitches were, and was a size too small. Handy though because now it cleared the spare tyre. Then I bought the 'Cruiser. It had a standard tongue towbar. Made a part to fit the tow ball. This tube is actually the end of a Terrano rear upper trailing arm with the bush removed. One of the nuts I welded on is in where the arm was welded on And I had to dog-leg it to clear the tyre. Other than the foam and plastic end caps from para rubber, the rest is just scrap steel from under the bench and cost me nothing /Lingor out
  4. Sorted? It may not be the same, but our trucks have 3 screws holding the gauge to the board at the back of the cluster. Sometimes they do exactly what you say and a little tweak of the screws sometimes fixes them
  5. Have you checked the fuel filter?
  6. Now I am confused, that picture isn't your van
  7. So in your build thread, the link to this discussion thread has a picture of the engine/hoses/radiator that I can't seem to find in either threads to have a proper look. But what I'm getting at is The top radiator hose looks like it goes up from the thermostat housing outlet, then down to the radiator. Making a high spot that will make an airlock. When you fill it have you/you need to bend the hose down at the thermostat end and work your way along the hose to the radiator end to work the air out. Top up and repeat until all the air is out. (Or change the hose for one of a flatter angle). If it's just the angle I'm looking at it, and the hose is actually uphill to the radiator, then please disregard.
  8. Sweet. Were they recommended?
  9. Go on, who did your engine work?
  10. There has to be something to switch it from hot to cold?
  11. You should have one of these in the line somewhere Controlled by a cable from the hot/cold control. Check the cable is attached and opening/ closing it. And water flows through it when it's open. It probably won't get hot until the thermostat opens
  12. You got a bulb out on the right side? That might stop them
  13. Nice work Solar battery charger on the pole?
  14. Mayte they're fucked. Do they not have a fancy in cab switch for the shocks or something?
  15. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see this in one piece
  16. Lol my apologies, it was a quick glance and I think I had the vehicle back to front.
  17. Fuck yeah! Guard rub much? Those things look like a giant pain in the ass to put decent recovery hooks on
  18. Are your rotors on the wrong side? I could be wrong
  19. Welded in a vent Ground back Cut a hole in the floor just behind the crossmember and fuel tank and welded it in Right after I started welding it in, I remembered I hadn't made a flush lid for it yet, at the rate I'm going that's next year me's problem
