Hi guys and thanks for the helpful posts. One example of a possibly suitable sliding gate system on ebay is item 190392595090 (sorry cut & paste the link didn't work) The spec says it has a 240v 500 watt motor that draws 2.0 amps at full load. The voltage drop table suggested by Christof123...

My thanks to everyone for the helpful replies, particularly Solarman's, thanks. Rick - re the 12 a/hr sealed lead acid battery, would a larger one be any better or just a waste of money? I'll do more research re volt/amp demands of the proposed system and re-post. PLANK I like the the simple...

Hi Plank Thanks for spurring an alternative idea i.e. a remote solenoid locking system only. I don't really need communications all the time, I only need the system to be secure during hours of darkness when the remote parking area is most vulnerable. So I could forego the CCTV/comms option -...

I need advice of any electrical/security experienced members. It's not exactly a 4X4 specific issue but loosely related. I want to improve the security of a parking spot on my patch of land but unfortunately it's over 200 meters from any power supply. I'd like to have CCTV, visual/audio...

Hi BoxCleva I echo what Timbo says - except 'avoid the 3.0'. I've had both 2.7 and 3ltr and have to say the 3ltr wins hands down for me. Oodles of grunt and 30 mpg, what more? Normal things to look for on older models are rust at the seat belt mountings under the rear wheel arches, around the...

Hi Macho and thanks for the pics and the link, they look good - hope they stay put! Rgds CL

Hi Mud Life What rubber pipe are you referring to? Is it a brake fluid line to the rear brakes? How did you discover it was the problem? Rgds CL

Hi Macho If you can a couple of pictures would be helpful. My previous T2 was lacking two of the chrome hub caps and I've no doubt that my new one, which currently has a full set, will shed one or more eventually. It would be helpful to know if the Pathfinder type will fit my '03 T2. Anyone...

Hi Redrex good to see you back in the fold. T2 or no T2 it's a good club to be in. Rgds CL

Hi Manora and a warm welcome to this club. I'm sure you'll enjoy the banter and get good value for your money particularly as you have two Nissan 4X4s in the family. Re 'is that a word', I think you'll find it can also be spelt 'two penn'orth', a phrase I heard frequently in my youth in the...

Hi Manora If you've been to Morocco before you'll surely know this but if not be very careful to observe the speed limits. I have a number of friends who drive there regularly and they have all been victims of the over zealous Moroccan police enforcing speed limits rigorously. Rgds CL

Hi apgphoto Try a pm to fellow member 'Wildbri'. He offered a hand crafted bolt on front tow ball for a T2. With his expertise I'm sure he could incorporate a hook/eye modification for a restraint line. (Bri I don't want any commission!) Rgds CL

Hi Kathy and welcome from an ex-south-easter (Brentwood). It's nice to have some female input into the club. Hope you enjoy the fun here and that we can help out with any problems. Rgds CL

Hi Gleno There have been a couple of threads that suggest mixing 25cl of acetone to a full tank (if one can afford to fill it these days?) will do the same job as expensive injector cleaner. I have also been advised that surgical spirit does a similar job. I can say that having occasionally...

Hi LC If you need a pit stop/berth around Cahors the wine cellar is well stocked at chez nous, you're always welcome. Rgds CL

Hi PLANK Nice looking piece of kit. Probably a lot cheaper because it hasn't the pretty 'suitcase' surround and is not as powerful or as sophisticated as the other two you are comparing it with - BUT - if it'll do the job for you go for it. Rgds CL

If you can get in touch with (perhaps through Bat 21, our very able website administrator) deleted member 'Daved' is a proud owner of such a beast and extols their superb virtues. Rgds CL

I'll second that! (but not the buggered' bit - not my thing!!) CL

Hi Plank Yes mine is the IG 2000 Sinemaster. I haven't needed to use the 12 volt charging capability, now that I'm a landlubber, I generally use 'shore power' for that stuff. I bought it as a stand by when in the Hobby, if we ever had the opportunity to do some 'wild camping'. Fortunately I...

Hi Plank Re the Kipor I have one which I'm very happy with and can thoroughly recommend. I bought it because I previously has a Honda EU2000 which performed exceptionally, even running a small air conditioning unit. The Kipor is almost an exact copy of the Honda but considerably less expensive...
