We have snow :):) but no bin-men :eek::(:( Andrew

I don't think I would re-use 5yr old glow plugs anyway. If I were going to do that, I might as well have them change only the faulty ones to start with. Andrew

My 'troll is in tomorrow at Westway Nissan for a service - and I'm having them fit a new set of glow plugs too. They're £26 each plus VAT, which in context ain't that much. From Milner's, they are £13+VAT+P&P each. Andrew

I don't really have a position on whether a particular caravan should have a car tyre or reinforced 6/8 ply tyre fitted. In general, I think that when you buy new tyres for a caravan, they should be of the same type and size as originally fitted. I still cannot understand why many...

Thanks for the quote from the caravan club. The question I posed was "Where caravan manufacturers fit appropriately rated car tyres to a new caravan after taking advice from the tyre manufacturer, why do so many caravanners seem to think that they know better when worrying about tyre...

I keep hearing it said by folks on forums such as UKCS that 6 or 8 ply tyres should be fitted to caravans. On the other hand, many caravan manufacturers fit car tyres from new (where they are available in an appropriate rating). My understanding is that reinforced or 6/8 ply tyres need to be...

Why should 6 or 8 ply tyres be any better at standing still than car tyres? Aren't commercial vehicles generally less likely to stand still than cars? Do explain ......... Andrew

True - but for all practical purposes, it doesn't really matter. Just about any modern DSLR and the cheapie kit lens it came with with is capable of taking photos that appear razor sharp on prints at any size that most folks are likely to want. It's only when "pixel peeping" at 100%...

Congratulations on your choice of camera. Whilst I don't know about the 50-200mm zoom, the 18-55mm ALII zoom is one of the best kit lenses around. Have fun Andrew

I've just been looking at the official website of the Premier League here: http://www.premierleague.com/page/Faqs Apparently there are 337 foreign players from 66 countries registered and eligible to play in the premiership - nearly 17 per club!!! Whilst I may be wrong, my impression is...

Clachtoll beach campsite in Sutherland. Amazing place ........ http://www.clachtollbeachcampsite.co.uk Andrew

A couple of points on this. Firstly, I don't think that any kinetic ropes have a working load of 8 tonnes. They usually have a breaking strength of 8 tonnes and a working load of 2 tonnes. Secondly, towballs ain't cast, they are forged. The smallest section on the ball is the neck below the...

1) If it is due a cambelt change, then change it 2) Get a new air filter and fit it 3) Get some injector cleaner - the kind where you put a full can into the tank, Coma Diesel Magic or similar. Take it for a good hard blast to clean out the cobwebs. 4) Make sure the engine is hot when you...

Thanks for that. Just spotted some on Ebay. To be honest, I didn't even know those existed. Andrew

Yep, I've been there too - lots of times, hence the question. Andrew

Actually, it's a five year old Patrol. I have had a weird noise from the front of the 'Troll that occured intermittently, but especially when setting off. A sort of a "clump" noise. I've been spending some time torquing up things like body mounts, anti-roll bar fixings and anything else...

Still around? I might be an old fart, but maybe not all that old for folks to start worrying about whether I am still above ground. :lol I'm fine. So, is the 'Troll. Andrew

Sure, just send me an addressed envelope and stamp :thumb2 Andrew

I'm pondering whether to replace the shock absorbers on the Patrol (LWB 2005 SVE) or get Nissan to do it for me. I'm not thinking about getting Nissan to do it because I'm congenitally idle or have more money than sense - and yes, I have replaced shockers on motors before. It's just that...

I've never met the guy and have only seen him on TV a handful of times, but I was quite getting to like Alan Johnson - shame, maybe, that he isn't standing for the Labour Party leadership. There is an old saying that - if you can fake sincerity, you've got it made. I don't know whether AJ...
