Like most I guess we haven't been away for what seems like about seventeen years. To add insult to injury the Disco 2's auto gearbox decided that the oil pump had reached the end of its life. Needless to say that's a gearbox out job which is not trivial. While it was out I decided that the torque converter c...

I had a Mazda 2.2lt...

I'm wondering if I should buy and carry a spare water pump for my caravan. A replacement is about $125 on ebay and weighs 2kg so nothing onerous. I have no idea how long caravan water pumps last but I do know I often use a tap pressure which makes mine "chatter" and with 12V DC this will not be at all good for th...

I am looking at buying a Sunliner Trex for myself as I do not need anything too big. I thought a full size motorhome would be too stressful as I am on my own. Does anyone own one and if so what are your thoughts or do you have any changes that you would have made in hindsight? Cheers

Hi All, I was reading with interest on a car forum that some use higher pressures on the rear tyres on their dual axle vans, for instance one person ran 50 front and 55 rear. The explanation was that this would aid in a sway situation as the rear would have control of the sway further from the pivot point. An...
