No need for the Disrespecting stance mate If you think replies here can be short here you should try some Jeep sites I get more help here than on all the other four sites I am a member of with the exception of the Honda sohc site. As has been said there aren't many Navara owners here so no...

No Radio issue Okay you have stated that you hit a problem replacing an aftermarket radio to try to resolve your issue remotely so as to speak I think some background is required as most electrical problems can be difficult to diagnose at the best of times. Firstly did the existing after...

Hylomar spread thinly. Thorough clean of both surfaces with either no glue or the thinnest smear of Hylomar and don't overtighten the bolts - it's like Cork but different you can over squeeze plastic /rubber easily.

Good to hear from you Zippy I don't have a R3mr anymore I've gone over to Jeeps! There is no doubt that this Covid thing has been a big hit financially on too many families so sorry to hear about your situation. I'm very lucky really as I am now fully retired - I have been for the last 3 or...

Lock Down Pregnancy - congratulations Congratulations to you both Jay - I take it it's a boy or is the video just for drama! Good news is a Son is IMHO way easier than raising a Daughter. A mate of mines 4 year old Grandson has picked up being mechanical from his father. It's a bit of a joke...

No date for my Nephrectomy as yet. Due to pressure on ICU beds my operation looks as though it is not now going to be before the end of October - waiting list is now such that it is going to be November or even early December. I'm filing my waiting time with more work on the Honda - just done...

That reminds me !! Rick I laughed out loud with the picture you painted! Reminded me of an incident a few months ago when I went into to my garage to fetch another Beer. A little bit of background is required here - my double electric door has been stopping a couple of inches short of fully...

First Scar from the Honda rebuild - even small burns hurt! Today I decided to double check the flow of engine oil at the top end so after a brief engine run I removed one of the 8 camshaft Caps used for tappet adjustment access. Undid said cap saw signs of excellent oils splashing - whilst...

There part of the family its always a big loss. Dogs grow up as we age and we share our lives with them as pseudo humans. My late father told me that it's the greatest act of love when you have the courage to do the right thing for your dog rather than for yourself. We have had three dogs put...

How do you mean sing ? I might post a video of revving the engine would that qualify as clickbait!

Today I completed Phase 1 of my Honda CB400F2 rebuild project - getting the engine to run before I do the full strip down probably now in early 2021. Purchased with a rattling cam chain so I wasn't expecting her to sound A1 - common issue with these engines. Started pretty easily once the...

That's making back breaking work look easy peasy! Impressive I can still remember the hard labour when we moved some 600 of the large 17" x 8" hollow double concrete breeze blocks from the front driveway to the back of our house it was back braking especially as Wendy & I had both been at work...

Rush of Energy !! Thanks Rick, I'm now looking to get as much work done on the Honda over the next few weeks - no rush the Grim Reaper has put his Scythe back in his tool shed for now!

So far it hasn't spread beyound right kidney Only 3 hours late I got the phone call - good news they say it does not appear to have spread so they will whip out the right kidney before the end of October 2020 !! It was a long wait!

OIl & air pumps - my experience The oil pumps are a great little tool I have a very old Sealey version- small drawback is they really only work on quite hot engine oil plus the dip tubes supplied are often on the short side with many manufacturers. Another practical issue is when you have...

'potty training New meaning to "Potty Training" never realized it was an abbreviation for Plantpot!

Thanks for your comments. I have a telephone consultation with the Urology Consultant on Monday 21st September 2020 I should know by then what the situation is as regards potential removal of my right kidney. I am making an assumption that there has been a Multi Disciplinary Meeting as they...

Your Doggy One of our Chihuhuas is named Lilly after my late Mother in Law! I know of a couple of folk with Cockapoos and they are a great cross breed with a lovely temperamant - plus no moulting!

Hi folks I let my membership briefly lapse due to a couple of issues as follows. 1) I have bought a Honda CB400F2 to restore so have been busy on the Honda - sohc website. My planned 12 month full restoration might have to be shortened to a 3 month oily rag one depending on my health issues...

Try running it without the belt ? Alternator belt tension and possibly alternator bearing is a possibility as is fan bearings/viscous drive coupling if you have one. When you say lift the clutch are you possibly talking about a clutch release bearing noise ? You could take off the alternator...
