Well, my tame supplier came up with BFG A/T KO at £100 a corner, but is unable to source the Toyo's, even though he's a Toyo dealer. However, blackcircles.com came up trumps with a set of 4 Toyo Open Country AT's on special at £300! Being fitted on Saturday at a local garage too, so if anyone...

Good idea! Well I'm waiting for my tame local tyre centre to come back with prices, but will be going for a set of 4 235/75R15 A/T's within the next week before my annual trip to Aviemore. I've narrowed the choice down to: Toyo Open Country A/T Pirelli Scorpion ATR General Grabber AT2 Goodyear...

It's a slightly worn anti-roll bar link...

Neither - it's gear driven, so nothing to snap/stretch :-) Dale

I think I need to investigate why the fuel filter isn't draining - am I right in thinking just opening the plastic tap thing on the bottom of the filter should start it draining? Even if I pump the plunger on top with that open, nothing comes out! Filter was last changed 8 months/6000 miles ago...

Strange one this. For the past week or so, every now and again I get a lumpy/rough idle and slightly lumpy low-speed running. I'm currently running with 40l of SVO per tankful (was running a 20l mix), and it has a PSI Powerbox and a K&N 57i. The change in running has coincided roughly with...

My Triumph TR7 :-)

Some of you may find this interesting reading: So, other than a PSI Powerbox and K&N 57i, the engine in my '98 SWB is stock. It's done 110,000 miles and runs and drives perfectly. I was running a 20l mix of SVO, but now I've upped that to a 40l mix. At the moment, the 20l KTC drums are £13.89...

I fitted mine last week too - no smoke, but loads more power. Running a stock (fairly new) air filter at present, though my K&N setup should be here soon (thanks daved!)...

30.2mpg - not too shabby.

Well I've just scored myself one of these little beauties on eBay. Unfortunately, I won't see it before lugging to the caravan down to Longleat this Saturday, but it gives me something to play with when I get home :-)

I tow a 1500kg Abbey Archway Royale 520 (4 berth, end washroom, single axle) with my '98 SWB, and aside from being a little slower away from the lights (to be expected) and occasionally needing to change down on hills, you don't even know it's there. And I get 24-28mpg when towing... Dale

When I first got my Mav last year, everything worked perfectly. Now, neither electric mirror works. It's not the fuse (still running all the fuses it left the factory with - none have been replaced!). Is it a common fault? I'm not much of an auto electrician - is the switch a likely candidate...

Thanks Darwin, I'd just assumed it was only the more expensive oils such as rapeseed that were suitable. Dale

Sounds good, but I always get confused which type of oil to buy - what's SVO?

Hmm, some nice affectionate terms in there then...

Good job some of us aren't too easily offended...

I don't claim to be a saint - yes, I have, and occasionally still do break the speed limit. I got three points back in 2001 for doing 37 in a 30 limit, but I accepted the punishment - I took the points and paid the fine.

But if the legal limit is 30mph, and you know it is (you shouldn't be driving if you don't know the speed limit!), and you're driving at a speed greater than 30mph, YOU'RE BREAKING THE LAW... Quite simple really. It's funny, but I've heard petty thieves use the exact same 'go catch a real...

Not being funny, but you've committed a crime - take the punishment and learn the lesson...
