  1. I am aware that there is a procedure for bona fide farmers to claim back the fuel excise if they use petrol tractors. Not sure whether this can be applied to other commercial users of petrol-powered tools such as lawnmowing contractors. Does anyone else know?  Raizer? Fuck this laptop with its non functional "at" key.

  2. Spotted this '47 Ford on Friday broken down outside our place (fueling issues). The owner and I fiddled with it for a while with little success before it was eventually taken away on a transporter. Later I read a post on FB from a man in Saskatchewan describing his experience with a '46 V8 truck owned by his father which had a habit of vapour locking when it got hot and wondered whether this was the issue here. If so I suspect that by the time the mechanic got around to looking at it the problem would have gone away.

    Been doing a bit more reading about it, it's not just 1kz vehicles with a factory "dead zone" in the gauge, it's most factory temperature gauges, but after a lot of people complaining/panicking about the needle fluctuating a lot in the earliest 1kz models Toyota went ham on the dampening.

    What about the modern Toyotas that don't have a gauge, just a big red panic light? Is it likely to be to late to save it by the time the light comes on?

    Perhaps this discussion should be taken to the tech spam thread?
