    Agree a proper killer mate. 40% is better in your pocket.

    What is the world coming to?

    Ah yes, good old BG. The battery in the digital meter is only supposed to last 10 years, so they wrote and told me to book an appointment for meter changeover (free). Engineer turned up on day, after 10 minutes told Mrs he had shut the job down for 'technical' reasons. No meter change ! I phoned...

    Front Bash Plate

    Did you try heat ?? Cut the old guard off for more access and grind off the bottom of a socket (not part of a set), so that it grabs the hex head as soon as you offer it, as a normal socket has several mm before it contacts. Use an impact type socket that matches the hex pattern bolt, it grips...

    Front Bash Plate

    Youre better off going for aftermarket types, as any from a breaker will probably be rotten anyway, They are not of any thickness to throw off flies in the first place ! Mine was rotten/had pieices missing and I had to cut/rip off what was left to get at the bolts using heat and an impact socket.

    Underbody protection

    As said earlier in the thread there are lots of options, the downside coming from anywhere, is the OP felt the ridiculous Zimbabwe duty would kill imports to him. Always a PITA.

    Just comfortable suspension

    Watching this with much interest, I didn't know oem springs were different ratings. I wonder how Toyota choose as to what 120's they fit what to, or can they be customer specced from new ?

    Sorry, got the M's and the P's in the wrong order there. It would have been the same as everyone's at the time.

    What is the world coming to?

    Bodie, that's why I ditched Sky after 12 month contract. Repeat after repeat, I was (and mrs still is) paying a tv license for that sort of shite ! Frank, is it not true that they have to prove you are watching TV (BBC)? owning a tv is not a crime, and owning a freehold doesnt automatically...

    EGR vacuum hose

    There is another small bore pipe in that area with a small in line 'gas' filter that goes to the throttle body that never seems to get changed. Normally grey, sometimes white, my original was grey, the replacement white. You can see it on the right, towards the back near the egr valve without...
