Some great posting there, I'm sure we'll refer back to this when we need too. :clap:clap rustic

I agree, great letter, you maintained a professional attitude and kept your composure. Getting angry just looses you control of the situation. Well done. :clap:clap

We had a bigger battery in the fiesta lol Way too small, I'm surprised it can start the truck. You want as close to 100Ah as you can get, and as close to 1000 CCA as possible. 830 CCA should be fine though. If that old battery does start the truck, worth keeping it as a back up, or as a...

:clap:clap I agree, I mean... how can a gold fish blow candles out...... under water... :doh:doh

I looked at that too, but drive shafts and exhaust are in the right place. I like the way that they arrested him for failing to stop.... looks pretty stationary to me lol. :do

Some have dropped out the 2.7tdi lump, and replaced it with the older slightly less powerful 2.7 td non intercooler version, no fault codes to report as there are no sensors to replace. This might surprise you, but my Mav with the 2.7 td engine has been running fine for 22 years. :doh Let me...

Well 22 Years really :augie welcome to the site, plenty of economical ways of keeping these trucks on the road, all consumable parts easily available from most motor stores. Many jobs are simple to do, and some fixes just need an odd blob of grease. :thumb2 Rustic

But did he cause enough interest to get any decent replies lol... :augie

It's a big lump of cast iron, but which side of 500 kg hmmm...? :nenau Rick has removed a few, so he knows what strength engine lift he would have used lol. Rustic

It just changed my vision of an old couple standing next to the swimming pool, one says to the other.."Do you fancy a dip":doh :lol

On the subject of alarms, consider getting a carbon monoxide alarm, there is one with a higher spec suitable for boats, caravans, motor homes etc. There are many cases on petrol engined boats, that owners run the engine to top up their batteries but the CO gets in under the hood, and soon all...

Optical ones are better than the ionisation type, it's what we have in the boat now ! Less susceptible to false alarms in a confined space. Can't remember the make though. Rustic

I saw a program yesterday "The sheriff's coming" there was an unpaid court order against a garage for damage and dangerous work by a local garage to a car. It went to court and substantial damages were awarded to the car owner, but not paid, so in go the sheriffs and bingo... monies paid. Garage...

I would have thought the company would have a person responsible for transport, they would have the V5 and on it will be the taxation class, in fact, they will also have a list of approved drivers and copies of their driving licences, to fulfil insurance cover etc, so a quick comparison over a...

The 2.7td non intercooler version have one type of plug, the 2.7 tdi intercooler have a different plug. Overall the td version is cheaper than the tdi version, which might help. I assume 3 litre patrol engine is totally different, I use ngk, not had a problem as yet.. When they go they simply...

When I showed my wife this joke, she said Can I take you there ? lol... Don't know what she meant lol... :lol:lol

You are spot on, Prednisolone is the main one. Just heard today,that my PSA has increased, from the last session yet again, and the oncologist is unsure if the chemo is actually working as well as can be expected, and they have arranged for a ct scan and a bone scan to be done ASAP to help...

As if I need encouragement lol. :lolCurrently in the chemo ward having the chemo 8 about an hour to go. I will be fine today and tomorrow, the additional steroids make me like Billy Whizz. Rustic

:thumb2 just as long as I don't keep going on about having owned my Mav since new for over 22 years though .. :lol:lol

Wow Ian, that means a lot to me, I say it from the heart as it comes to me, I spend a while doing spell checks. lol... This forum together with a boating forum I frequent has given me a great deal of support. At times, as you can imagine, emotion takes over, and I have a few days I just can't...
