Drivers side inner wing, sorry best photo that I could get,

Side view, the grey line is the box section that will need completion.

Hi All, it’s finally time to say goodbye to my old project truck. It failed its MOT back in January 2022 and has been under my car port ever since. We started repairs and fitting 100mm square box section as a replacement sill on the drivers side but that’s as far as I got as it’s too much for...

Welcome aboard. Some cheaper fuel filters have been known not to seal and let air in. As Solarman says the metal fuel lines tend to rust and leak especially over the rear axle area so that can be a source of air too. Incidentally if you changed rear diff oil then it does need to be LSD Oil not...

That’s a dam good shout is that :thumbs

I cannot believe that I have managed to find a box of 15 brand new Sparkrite Alarm Fob Cases. I cannot remember the last time I saw Sparkrite kit out there, I think it was Halfords that used to sell that brand. When I picked up the Mav back in 2019 the alarm fobs had seen better days and I...

Hi, Terrano’s are great. I have had Terranos for over 20 years and love them but they tend to rust here in the UK. Currently I have a 1995 Ford Maverick that belonged to a former club member and it’s in fantastic condition and a joy to drive. The collective knowledge on here is second to none...

How about exhaust knocking? I’m sure Rick or someone else will be along at some point to offer some good advice.

What about the rear bump stops, they generally fall off over the vehicles life. Do you carry a lot of weight or are the roads particularly bad that you drive along.

Hi Zippy, sorry mate it looks like I might of found someone to repair it for me, I will know more in a week or so. Just for info it’s the old project truck, LWB Auto on a T plate.

I got an MOT failure that you could have for £500 and in fairness it’s half fixed too. Basically needs a box section sill welding on to passenger side, already got the box section on drivers side.

Thanks all, it was a fabulous trip but unfortunately came home with the old Covid. First time we have visited the Outer Hebrides and hopefully not the last. I’m tempted to visit the Orkneys and even Shetland. For now though probably less far a field trips like Derbyshire and the east coast.

I don’t blame you at all mate, keeps Mags in the comfort she deserves buddy. If you do have a laning trip I might be tempted to come along for a catch up.

That Patrol does really well and after all that if you were away it would then drag your caravan home. I keep looking at Patrols but they don’t half hold their money don’t they.

Yes mate in the camper the whole time. It has paid dividends spending a lot of time insulating properly. Fitted one of those chinese diesel heaters so that soon heats van up. Plus I’m too tight to pay for a hotel:lol

And then our final camp overlooking Loch Tulla near Glencoe, a really peaceful spot before the final leg of the journey home. I can honestly say that the camper has really come into it’s own this last year or so. Oh yes called in for some diesel at Fort William and at the opposite side of the...

Back on the mainland starting our trip home we called off at the Commando Memorial just short of Fort William.

This one is Portree on Skye

Final night on Harris was spent on what is supposed to be the best beach but sadly the weather didn’t want us to see it.

Brilliant place to visit Black House Museum, most of these houses are holiday lets with all mod cons like Central Heating and I believe Satellite TV. The one house that is the main museum was really interesting complete with a peat fire.
