Re: TD42 all of a sudden overheating

Evening Cedric . Did you manage to sort out your overheating problem yet ? You say that when it was idling , the temperature went up high with the aircon on .

Re: DIY Plat bak

GOOD DAY GENTS . PLEASE GENTS !!! When we work on our patrols , try to be safety conscious !! HOLLOW BLOCKS , that's a wonderful way to get hurt ! When one block collapses , it will cause all the others to break because of the sudden load transfer . Jack stands are cheaper than hospital and or a cof...

The pipe fittings are also standard 1/8th gas thread with the steel pipes being brake tubing . The flexibl...

They do some times fall out when unplugged . The signal pulse to the injector is running to earth through the water , caus...
