Winter Hybernation

What's going on folks??!!!!

There hasn't been much action in the technical side of the forum lately!

Has the face(less) book taken over? Or is it just the winter hybernation affecting the blokes and their rigs? :) ;)
Or have we actually been hit by the secondary recession after being successful with the first one? :)

Rumour is that there is a recession heading this way before the end of this year!!! :)

Sorry Dom mate, we rang Japan and found out the mighty TD4.2 have now officially ceased replacement production:-( Most blokes with them on here have already scrapped their donks now and either installed hybrid/electrics or joined the Hilux/Triton/Rodeo/Courier forums etc.... :-)

Hybrid electrics? That's a big scam. :) They are still bloody expensive. :)
Hilux/Triton/Rodeo/Courier are built for girls. :D ;)

Not mine. There is a new problem always. Now I have a steering grinding issue, when stationary. I haven't had a look at it yet. Repair thread is on it's way. :)

I did a timing belt and water pump replacement a couple weeks ago, I could post up a how to on that if it's worthy?

I changed radiator today back to the standard job, but that's not exciting.

And the way I spelled "hybernation" is pretty dandy. :D

Sounds like the middles age is really creeping into my brain. ;)
I just got over the early midlife crisis. :D ;)
Must be the residue effect. :)
