Yes second that, Rick

Well had a great day today, 5 mins after entering got a guy flagging me down, can I pull him off a tree, no problem ten mins later he is on his way, I still have my sandals on so pull off to a drier bit to sort my boots out but takes some time as need to do it entirely in the motor as too muddy...

Hi Zipps yes I am still here, but not much going on, Rick

MOT done, passed no advisories, just got to get it ready now for the 1st December at Piccadilly Wood, Rick

Yep my Troll is up this month, come January I will have had her for 7 years, much abused off road, but still going strong, had to do loads of work due to off road stuff, new front disks and pads, old only 2 years but aggressive mud wears them down, needed new front leading arm bushes 4 off and...

Glad you got it all sorted then, happy driving, Rick

Looks OK but I know absolutely nothing about them, do not even know anybody that has one, so time will tell, Rick

Yes DHL not bad, DPD excellent, what a sorry state the poor old Troll is in, but axles should be OK, probably all you will salvage, if yours is the 233 diff I may well be interested, Rick

Your local motor factors are your best bet, you should have one not too far away, if that proves a problem then online such as Milners off road or other Jap 4 x 4 sites, Rick

If you do not get start up roar from your fan it may mean that the viscous fluid has leaked away which will mean that the fan will not be working, Rick

Hi mate, all I can say is yes the whole dash has to be taken apart to change the heater, I cannot recall anyone doing this and taking pics of same, sorry mate, Rick

The first thing I would do is change the thermostat, just to be sure, the gauge cannot be relied upon to be completely accurate on a motor of this age, do you hear the fan roar on start up and does it go quiet after a few mins, Rick

That idea did not work due to the new tacho would not read reliably the existing sensor on the pump pully, might be because it see's 3 pulses per 1 crank rev, (6 webs on the pully) so bought a digital one that has a hall effect sensor and comes with a magnet, mounted that on the plastic timing...

If you are not "Listed" then you can tell the council twats were to go, simply quote you are replacing an existing building, to obtain that just do not demolish ALL of the existing before you start the replacement, if you demolish all then yes it will become a new build, look at one of my new...

Will be interesting to see what you can salvage, pics would be good, Rick

Well the axles fetch good money, as can most other parts, very sad episode is all I can say but make the most of it, Rick

Enjoy the rest of your holiday, did you lose all the new parts you purchased? if not then I am sure you can market those, re Patrols yes they are indeed fetching good money, I keep getting asked if I want to sell mine, but never will even when I can no longer drive, the winch capability is far...

OK wait to hear, Rick ps, PMed my phone number

What are you asking for it? Rick

I feel for you Colin, but life goes on mate, you and your Mrs will recover, just be thankful it did not spread to your house, stuff can be replaced and nothing can take away your treasured memories, Rick
