  1. still plenty of both wd21 and r50 on the road here but they are slowly going, mostly i think mostly due to the auto's dying most arn't willing to fork out the $ for a rebuild and it helps South Australia has historically had the oldest fleet of cars in Aus, generally good for rust too

  2. i used a 50/50 mix mineral turps/ boiled linseed oil mix... works great it forms a hard shell after a few coats, heeeeeaps cheaper the painting and probably will last longer also great on older metal and paint i used to splash it on old utes tractors etc, one advantage is it keeps the grain look of the plastic it will turn whites dull brown though no issues on black

     

    one big caveat though dont leave oiled rags brushes etc in piles or you will have a fire it puts out a lot of chemical heat :beer:

  3. sorry for the thread jack but my 6/93 has receipts for a timing belt change from late 2007 its got 40000 km to go b4 its due for change. should i get it done on age alone or leave it alone untill its due currently 259000 km on it. full dealer service history came with it

    cheers

  4. I would like to know more about the above "eBay find" I remember seeing those in vehicles way back in the day when I was a kid. Does it plug into anything?? Or is just based on gravity?

    nope not reliant on gravity you take the console surround off then the center vent out and it bolts up thru the dash there is even a 12v lead there already well there was in my old 92 at least

    there is also a modern alternative as well a small android tablet or phone with an Clinometer with Compass package(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brainlab.tiltmeter&hl=en) works well.

  5. its generally worth testing new/old thermostats in a old electic fry pan fill up with water and set to heat up to needed temp and with a temp probe and wait to see when /if opens then turn off and wait to see when it closes if its in spec all good if not try another till you get a good one.

  6. howdy and welcome :beer:

    blue2 came from a heavy smoker as well so i feel your sinus pain :P

    i used my Bissell Little Green Extractor with a mix of wool cleaner and bicarb in the mix chamber on the seats carpets and head liner it worked well got rid of most of the stains and the stench is mostly gone except on real hot days from the a/c vents

     

  7. went to the local u pull it they had a fresh 88 pathy and a 93 v6 navara got some rola roof rack parts and a long range fuel tank looks to be about 150 ltrs or so off the 88 and a complete upper plenum and carbon filter, off the vg30e all for 100 bucks :) nice getting filthy on sunday morning :):beer:
