What a beautiful trail! Looks like you had fun!

You will find that in most turbo's.

Have you checked the intercooler? Build up there would probably be a greater concern than what you've found.

So we had quite good day yesterday. We started with 5 vehicles: 1 x SFA 1 x D4D 2 x Land Rovers 1 x Lada Niva From the beginning we saw that the Disco was going to be a challenge. I didn't know the owner but it was soon obvious that he was either unfamiliar with his vehicle, or something wasn't work...

For those that might find themselves bored this saturday - we'll be at Riverside outside of Steynsrus. 1 x SFA 1 X D4D 1 X LAND ROVER 1 X LADA NIVA Seeing that I am the only club member who will be present, it will not be deemed a club outing. I will, however, look at another date in July/august for...

Now that the "Old Dawgs" are done reminiscing...

I have been able to free up the first saturday in june..... that would be the 1st.

After that I'm stuck for the next 6 weeks.

PM returned, so Tikwe it is, unless you can recommend another venue... The only other venue I could have recommended was washed away 3 weeks ago with the rain... They really sustained some serious damage. You specifically want to camp? Or will a room do the trick? If so there is a decent place in v...

Hi Shane, How loudly must I shout for you to hear me? If you will come over, I will be there, so don't let me down, and I won't let you down. If you let me down, I loose a day, you lose nothing, otherwise I'll just go straight on to Parys, but only leave from East London the next day. PM me your Ce...

"Johan I agree. So lets give it a couple of weeks. I want to see if I can shuffle some weekends around and maybe Haboob can join us?" Hi Shane/Johan, Thanks a lot for the thought, but please do not try to accommodate me. I will be overloaded at the beginning of an over-land trip, when I p...

So seeing that I had already booked the day for this outing, I decided to still go through and have a look at the place. My mate Rudi came through with his Ford and we met Oom Hans at the turn off from the tar road. We did not do any 4x4ing, the main aim was to determine what they could offer and if...

Shane, I think it will be best to do the complete trail, no use in driving only a few. Also the risk on the trail with all the rain I do understand that the trail owner will close sections. So I think lets give it a week or so to see what happens. Johan I agree. So lets give it a couple of weeks. I...

Right Chaps, just a quick update. I just spoke to the owner of the trail. Due to all the rain the river and all the obstacles around it are out. He reckons that he still has a few obstacles for us to play on, but my understanding is that the river forms a large part of the trail. I would hate to dri...

Shane, have you purchased your trailer yet? If you have, we (I) would like to know what you decided on. If not, I would strongly recommend that you look at all the alternatives you can get. It is much better looking longer and getting what you want (and what meets your needs), as opposed to the fir...

Right guys, my apologies for taking so long. 4th May @ Riverside 4x4 just outside of Steynsrus. R200/vehicle. Should someone want to sleep over they have a house @ R100/head. Camping facilities available @ R50/head. Sorry Haboob, i tried to see if I have an open weekend early in june but no joy. Wou...

So it's been a while since I've engaged low range. I've found a place called Riverside 4x4 near Steynsrus that I want to go and check out in may - date still to be confirmed. Any members up for it? There is accomodation and camping facilities. The trail consists of a number of loops and would take 6...

Thanks! Will give them a try.

Hi guys, Busy sprucing the old gal up. Carpet has been damaged and I would like to replace it. Are new ones still available? Any ideas who might stock them? Mine is a '95 model . Failing that I would need to go with a total internal revamp.... Thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-A720F using Tapatalk

Geez Gus, would have thought someone would have responded by now....

I have no idea but I'm commenting to keep your post relevant.

Having said that, posting a pic of your truck might help as I think our year models might be different to yours!

So I'm looking at doing up the old truck. Got a quote for a respray - R45k! Not being too handy myself (not for lack of trying[emoji1787]) I thought of stripping everything and having the body + panels sandblasted. Quick and fairly cheap - in our area. Now the person I spoke to said they have done i...

Ok thanks guys! Did the prolong test and seems to be working for now.

This should hold till the first opportunity I get to properly strip and see where the problem is coming from and to get the necessary o- rings!

Not saying yours is incorrect. Just confirm that 1.1 is the correct rating....

Mine worked the other way around...cap rating was lower than the cap it had.

Make sure you replace with the correct rating cap... I know this sounds silly, but I was losing coolant on my 1HZ. Replaced the cap, nothing changed. Then I saw online that my vehicle uses a 0.9bar cap and not the 1.1 that was on..... Changed again and problem solved! Not sure why though... Sent fro...

I am assuming the viscus has never been replaced? If not, that's where I would start. We have just replaced one on a 2009 BT50, 120k km....
