Theres a MK3 on the Ranger Uk forum, not sure where it is but the guys numbers is in the ad

Thanks Daz but some of my customers are shall we say 'mature' lol. Really needs to be a card reader
-
No need to take deposits.
That Barclaycard seems interesting, even better as my business accounts are with them. Another bonus I expect is Barclay's is better known and my customers would trust this more than one they had never heard of. Thanks for the heads up Kingo, I'll have a look into this

Morning all
Just looking for some advice regarding the chip and pin devices that use your mobile, I'm currently looking at either World Pay Zinc or Payleven as both have 2.75% transaction fee and when compared to others on the market, these 2 options seem to have an 'acceptable' transaction speed.
Any recommendations/preferences or even alternatives would be great

Mates had the terrano since new, never really spent a penny on it and it's still going, pretty quick for 4x4 an all
-
Yep, they're pretty much the same motor except for the badge
-
Yes - I've used them for the hardtop on my new shape L200. I'd say OK, not good, not bad - just average. I had a couple of smallish problems which they sorted under warranty with no hassle - including shipping a replacement glass for a side window from the Far East!
Good luck on finding them though, very rural location and then down the side of a house with no signs!
Great, thanks for the heads up. Perhaps I'll spend the extra cash and get a truckman!

Hi
Anyone bought a hard top from the above, looking to get one for the new Ranger and these seem a good price?
Cheers

You skinny so and so! May I offer a simple and most pleasant solution to your predicament? It's called....
Cake! Just eat a lot more of it and more regularly and you'll soon have the prerequisite amount of portable cushioning available at any time you require.
In all seriousness, I spent hours on mine at the weekend and didn't find it uncomfortable. But then I do also spend hours a week sitting on a hard stool (not the type that requires Senokot) so perhaps my backside is more used to it?
:lol: :lol: If only that were true, gave up smoking (sort of) and put 2 stone on, now hovering around 19st so think I'm putting the chair to the test - or perhaps that's the answer I'm too fat for it B) -
I've been told the vets in Leighton buzzard will do it
-
But well worth it mate, trust me i have one!
I have to disagree, mine is very uncomfortable after anything more than a couple of hours. I'm now forced to carry a cushion as I'm not going to bin this expensive seating option. If or should I say when mud gets in the push button legs, they're a nightmare, thumbscrews or anything similar would be better. In my opinion this seat isn't worth the money, the principles a great idea but in reality - not for me

Not at 20 mpg you won't, you will soon run out lol

Cyclists who insist on wearing tight - like they're at the Olympics and yes, it will really make you faster!!! Then sit in formation like they're on the Tour de France in the middle of the road so no one can pass. Chuffing Numpties
People who race you of the lights then sit at 20mpg below the speed limit
This could go on and on and on and on

Well thought I would just post an update and let everyone know where I am at with this one.
I was present on Saturday morning when one of my mates mechanics lifted the head off my pajero. The head appeared to be fine. Gasket did not look too bad either. The head will be subjected to closer scrutiny on Monday.
What I will say is that I did notice that the head bolts appeared to be unevenly torqued. One in particular near the front of the head did not part with the same crack as the rest. It looks like the mechanic who fitted the head may well not have paid enough attention to what he was doing when torqueing it down.
So hopefully I may well get away with a fresh head gasket, sundry gaskets and bolts. Happy days!!!
The advice from all sources with the Mitsy 4m40 engine in so far as fitting the cylinder head, is to bite the bullet and use a genuine '3 notch' Mitsy head gasket, not an after market one.
Also to further dispell any fears with regard to head failures on these engines/vehicles. I spoke with an engine rebuilder who has been rebuilding these heads using bare Chinese pattern items for about 9 years. His comment was that although the early Chinese ones were rough looking they were really not that bad. The ones being produced now are fine and he has experienced very few failures. The only other options are genuine Mitsy or AMC (Spanish) produced ones at big bucks.
What he did say was that unless the head had been 'cooked to death' repeatedly over an extended period of time, he reckoned that I would be really unlucky if it was cracked.
So it looks like the heads are generally good for circa 80K miles but this can be dramatically reduced if they are subjected to prolonged abuse due to carp maintenance and overheating.
I will keep everyone posted as to how I get on.
Defo fit a genuine mitsi head gasket. I'd also recommend on having the head pressure tested before refitting if you cant see any visible cracks.
Carry out a quick check of the rad while you have it in bits, easy to do, just fill it up with boiling water and check for cold spots, I found mine was 70% blocked. Which explained why the old girl was still getting hot on long steep inclines!!
I got a price for gen mitsi head, if memory serves correct it was in the region £1600.00 and about 6 weeks delivery!!!

Does this just connect on to a tow bar?
Yes it does

Great fridge and ideal to keep things cold when camping, I have the ice tray somewhere which I'll try and find. 40ltr capacity. Ignore the black tape there's no damage, the fridge kept going out and I thought it might stop it (when on gas), didn't realise I was actually out of gas and have never removed the tape.
£80.00

Used for a couple of season and has the added protection of the Aquatex material, has the rear vents which on a hot is a godsend. One imperfection is the zip on hood, and I've been informed that Trakker would repair but have no idea of costs, this doesnt effect the item at all. Comes complete with heavy duty groundsheet and maybe some mud. Good used condition.
The pics are of the internet, I ran out of time to take actuals but if interest I can sort these out for you, i added a pic of the zip issue as I was going to send this of for repair before giving up.
£200.00 collected

Used twice comes complete with the spanner and straps, cost £160 from memory a couple of yrs back and has been sat in the garage gathering dust. Think the model is a 9502.

Having a massive clear out and this is the first item. Its hardly used (one season then gave it all up) and is pretty much near to new condition, with the exception of where the mice have had a nibble on the bag and this doesn't effect it in anyway, I do have the original front legs and the 'V' bar to go with this. Cost me about £180 2-3yrs back from memory.
Collection only and prefer bacs as paypal will want my money

Well as the title says I am fed up!
Went out yesterday scouting where the pigeons were at, with a view to going out today. Found the pigeons, sorted out my plan of attack, all was looking good.
On the way back from probably what was a good 120 mile round trip I saw the temp guage on my old 2.8 Mitsy Pajero suddenly rise then drop back very quickly. Continued on a few miles further and it it did it again. This time I pulled up straight away and got out. Checked the header tank and lo and behold the level has gone up and it has vented a little from the overflow. Oh dear been here before!
When I bought the truck the vendor had quite kindly epoxy stop leaked it as it had the good old crack between the valve seats on the cylinder head. Anyway £800 lighter brand new complete head, bolts, gasket and water pump fitted, sorted!!
Well that was about nearly four years ago and she has been a good old girl until now. Took the thermostat out this morning but unfortunately bubbling and fizzing was seen at the neck of the rad with the cap off. Oh dear, these things generally don't do just the gasket, it is usually the head.
I wouldn't mind but she only does 5000 miles a year max and does not get hammered.
So, I could well be in the market for a new shooting truck and the question I need to ask is this, has anyone had any experience with a Nissan Terrano 2.7TD?
Let me know your thoughts and experiences.
You should have replaced rad as well, the heads normally don't just 'go' its problems with the cooling system and yrs of neglect

Aside from the poll, I think the guys on that program could've done with some tips on gun handling - bringing the barrels up to close on the stock
