May I take the response pack please?

I've recently started getting fake EDF bills, not sure if its related?

Yeah the petrol engines can be really thirsty, I’ve heard people saying they’re getting under 20MPG. With the Diesel engine I’m running (1.9 TD AAZ) I’m getting 30-35 MPG which is about the same if not a little better than my Defender.

Yeah thats right the 4x4 system was made by Puch. Maybe parts are more easily attainable now or he wasn't looking in the right places. I'm not to familiar with petrol Syncros as I run a diesel. Is he is running a different engine to standard as thats quite common in a lot of the vans. If he's...

I'd be interested to know what parts people have had trouble finding. I'm in an owners club and don't hear of people having such issues.

The Syncros are good but have limitations like all vehicles, for what we want it for it suits us perfectly. I had a T25 2WD that we used for various camping trips and a Defender 90 which we used to tow our hot air balloon and do a bit off off road driving and wild camping. The Syncro can do all...

The Syncro has one low range gear but because of that you don't have a fifth gear which means the top end suffers a bit. Cruising speed is about 65 MPH at just over 3000 RPM. What I do like though is the front and rear difflocks as standard and a centre decoupler (aftermarket but replaces the...

I've just sold my defender 90 and replaced it with a T25 Syncro that we're building into an expedition camper.

Sorry :)

That’s crazy, I bought one off a farrier in the next village about 8 years ago for £100 and sold it to a mate last year for £100. Came with a stand too.

I just use a ferro rod and generally make a few feather sticks which with a few fine curls will light from the sparks. I try and avoid taking tinder out with me as I find it part of the fun to forage for materials. I do however keep a finger sized piece of fatwood in my pack that I can shave a...

Yes I bought some from Woodstock, drop him a message.

When I went there I thought it was the lake to the west of Karlsborg with the islands.

Welcome mate, about time you joined up :)

Don't think ball bearing balls are iron I've seen iron balls in reclamation yards but usually fist size if not larger

I fitted one in my bell tent when I bought it. Was really straight forward but I was nervous about cutting my brand new tent. The way I done it was to hold the plate against the tent and poke a hole through each corner. I then bolted the stove jack in on the corners then poked through the other...

Thanks Robson that's really interesting!! I might have to have a go at it.

Oh ok so I guess that's inches of mercury. Its not a unit I'm very familiar with but I think -29.92 inHG is absolute vacuum. So basically the more vacuum the better to out-gas the wood.

What level of vacuum is required to stabilise wood? I work in the vacuum industry and we sometimes scrap various types of pumps that still work but don't provide the correct level of vacuum for their application and are too expensive to repair.

Still looking if anyone has some they wish to part with.
