So it's been a long while since I spent any serious time shooting and I realised after a very (rare) quick visit to the range that my technique has become incredibly poor. Now, I'm not...

I recently had an exasperated chuckle at a recent episode of police 10-7 where a shotgun was used in an offense. All the emphasis was on removing the firearm from circulation rather than catching...

Hi all, I dont confess to be an expert in reading legislation but I've done a bit in the past. Usually end up with a headache.

Hi all,

I'm after some roof racks for my surf. Does anyone have any recommendations? Ones they've used, ones to avoid, easy ones to install etc.
Looking at going on a wee holiday with the...

I'm just waiting on a rough quote to come through from the garage before thinking too hard about it, I don't think I'm prepared to tackle something like this. I do love the truck and it's done me...

Dont mean to resurrect an old topic but saves making a new one.

So quick update. Turns out the truck most certainly has cracked something. Head/cylinder whatever, its using a fair amount of water...

Well, it was a monumental effort. Massive thanks to my friend Patrick (who isn't on the forum but deserves thanks nonetheless), gadgetman and longrange308 for all their help over the weekend and...

Whoops shouldve finished that. I need to remove the timing belt and the cam pulley and rear plate of timing belt enclosure to get to the water pump housing

Yeah, ive sorted out lining up the timing points etc. Hadnt thought of removing battery though, thats a good idea.
A few people have recommended replacing water pump whilst I have radiator out. To...
