Dodgy temp gauge

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Does it have hydraulic part time drive to the front and middle axles? I've seen a video about that system. It only works at low speed and the faster you go the less torque they have.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

She's a beaut! :rockin:

Could do with a new temp sensor I think though :lol: two pairs of trousers and two hoodies and still being a bit chilly in the workshop says so ;)

Yup, it's gona be a chilly winter. But it was my decision not to get a space heater and buy parts instead.

Rigt choice me thinks.

Yeah man! A few extra layers is the best way! My dad's planning on building a log burner for our workshop out of an old gas bottle, apparently they kick out some good heat!

At the moment it's 2 convector heaters. Thermals. Combats/jeans. Hoodie. Overalls. Wooly hat!

I suppose we should be thankful we have somewhere inside to work.
