Have a great time in the mud Rick. As for the past three years we cannot change what has happened and any government will never tell us the whole truth, I find it better to leave politics alone as that is beyond my control and I get irate with them all. I normally don’t celebrate NY as it’s...

Happy new year you bunch of scallywags, all the very best for 2023.

Rick wish you could share this one buddy, beautifully smoked

Hi all, Happy Christmas to you all.

Happy Christmas to you all, nice to see some activity on the forum again.

I think most of us are envious of your energy bills Rick especially with how everything is going up. I kept tweaking the heating controller to slim down the temperature at different times of the day. As a result we have started getting damp patches due to condensation in places we have not...

Hi there Zippy, season’s greetings to you and your family buddy. You need to get on here a little more fella :thumbs

This dam tap is going to hell :doh All went well this morning, took to bits no problems and got a replacement cartridge that fitted perfectly until I tried to fit the handle. Different amount of splines so easiest solution is a new tap. Well laid plans and all that,new tap will have to wait as...

Cheers Rick, I’ll have another look later in the week.

Hi all, my mother in law has a dripping tap and has asked me to take care of it. I have managed to get the tap handles off, one of the spikes unscrews and allows the handle to pull off the splines. Unfortunately this still doesn’t give access to the cartridge. I can only think that some how the...

Not thought about that Rick, I was just thinking about having 50mm of Kingspan type insulation to keep some heat in the place. It’s a huge room and the front window must be 12x5 feet so we soon lose heat.

This might be one for Rick but happy to take advice off anyone. My living room has 3 outside walls, the outer skin of the house is stone and the inner skin is breeze block. The house was built in 1969 and at some point one of the owners had cavity wall insulation installed, it’s a kind of foam...

Good luck Rick, always a worrying time no matter what you do to prepare there’s always that little doubt.

Ever since I got the Maverick I’ve known that the steering is on the heavy side compared to previous Terranos that I’ve had. It’s only at slow speeds and is fine once moving but of course it would be. The belt doesn’t squeal and the fluid seems clean enough and doesn’t smell burnt in the...

Excellent Rick, that’s the sort of thing that you seem to thrive on mate.

Great to see your Patrol having some action Rick

Not sure if ford used the same fobs as Nissan so I’m unsure what they are like. Normally I would say switch in the everyday fob is buggered, test with a multimeter and a second pair of hands to push the button. My wifes Terrano has an issue where it would only pair to one or other fob but...

Eyup Clive, I’m still around mate. I’ve still got the Rustic Mav and the old project truck but unfortunately that failed it’s test in January, my youngun is supposed to be fixing it but he’s a lazy sod but he’s made a little progress on it last week. Most of my attention is on the camper these...

At what point does a vehicle become a “Classic Car”? I know that at theage of 40 years old as they are then classed as a historic vehicle as they can be MOT exempt depending upon any modifications and also tax exempt. Then another aspect is peoples opinions, that can and does vary significantly...

Just been reading through this thread, doesn’t seem like 5 years ago. A lot of water under the bridge since then. It did make me wander just how many of those trucks are still on the road. The Mav is still on the road, I still think about and regret PXing the 3 litre. Not looked lately but it...
