    Strange Request.... car plumbing

    This fantastic car is NOT FOR SALE! Apart from the tiny fact that the heater is [/u]temporarily out of action. It is far too good a truck to let go of. The comfort of a Rolls, the power of a rhino, the presence of a tank, seven luxurious leather seats.... OK how much then?

    Strange Request.... car plumbing

    I'm surprised that no one has mentioned yet that I should have used a Stanley Knife in the first place. I don't trust my soldering skills at the best of times and although it is hard to see in the photos, these pipes are tucked down a crevice between the engine and bulkhead making it very...

    Strange Request.... car plumbing

    Hi, I hope there is someone out there who can advise me on this. I wanted to flush out the heater matrix on my car. The rubber water pipes in the engine bay were jammed on solid to the "brass/copper" (?) pipes that go into the heater matrix. There is very little room for hands or tools in...
