The photobucket link is just a screen grab I took of the video still, the link to the video is further up. The fire brigade did fire jets of water into the side vents, but it didn't work. I have been doing some reading around about this subject. There was an interesting post in the JK forum...

Better safe than sorry? Save those handhelds for an out of control barbecue. Look at that video again, 3 minutes 40 seconds. Under no circumstances should you be attempting to open that engine bay during a fire. Get out, stay out, get the fire brigade out. That happened the moment the lid...

I've been speaking to a couple of garages who have dealt with fires. Faulty Solex, fuel pipes routed incorrectly, faulty battery. If it takes the fire brigade that long to put it out what use is an automatic system? My eyebrows would get singed if I attempted opening up the engine bay lid to...

Trying to decide whether to install one of these systems and wondering if they are worth it? With the type of recent fires, it appears that the auto systems wouldn't have been much use or not necessary. Fire underneath the engine caused by an oil leak, others put out with hand held bottles, some...

Yeah the small print...you have to exchange them every 18 months. They are only worth £5 - £10, an Anker one can be bought with an 18th month warranty. http://ee.co.uk/ee-and-me/out-and-about/ee-power" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Absolutely right, white cars are about 10 degrees cooler than black cars.

I didn't fancy waxoyl as I believe it is tacky and assumed that all sorts of crap would be sticking to it. Dinitrol is top notch stuff, 445 and ML3125 for cavities. http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=52779" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false...

I plan to buy one of these, he has a few in the range all made out of army ammunition boxes, I'm loving the stew pot. http://ammoboxcreations.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=66&product_id=59" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You would want around 3.4 mm.

Sew little Neodymium magnets into the curtain material which attach to the metal panels.

You are looking for Baltic Birch or Russian Birch. Try here, but you can buy kits from Rackhams and Morcambe and Wize. http://www.ijktimber.co.uk/panel-products/russian-birch-ply/russian-birch-ply/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You can buy a repro curtain rail from the likes of NLAVW or go for the silent gliss rails. I have an original rail on one side and the silent gliss on the rest. Male/ female poppers on the front cab. I can't help with sizes, but there is a thread I believe where Dirty Harry done the exact...

Yeah we have tightened those but no joy. Told you I hadn't photographed everything!

Questions have arisen about the quality of the rebuilt engine, two people were involved in the build, so trying to work out how serious the problem might be and how easy it is to resolve. I took these photos a while ago, so I think I've photographed the correct source of the leaks. From what I...

It looks alright!

I have a couple of bad oil leaks from a newly rebuilt engine with an external oil cooler. The one giving me concern is the rear main seal. What is the worst case scenario before the engine is taken out and examined? Oil only leaks after a short drive.

Yeah you are right, downloaded the find my android app and it would only report back with the internet turned on. I like those independent battery type trackers, saves a lot of faffing trying to disconnect them when they eventually fail. I've heard the odd story where stolen vehicles have been...

Not quite the magazine shot I was hoping for, but at least I have somewhere to sit. Correctly fitting Tan TMI standard seat cover 'in the post'. The Delta Green door decided it wanted to have holes for the door surrounds in a special place, some drilling and modifications to the door to get...

Thanks for all the input, but does anyone know of an android app which doesn't require constant phone internet access?
