i dont know how much your gov pay to the company's that own the turbines but in Aust the gov pay $500 000 per unit per year for the life of the turbine and they dont have to produce power for the payment , they just have to be their, no wonder they are building them . yes we did develop the solar panel and then gave it away , apparently it's the Australian way to help 3rd world countries 😂 i do be leave we have the ability to fix the issues we are just going about it wrong . i dont think covering the ground in solar panels is a good idea but putting them on roofs is a good idea , i dont think turning every car into an ev is it either but to replace 50% or more of them in cities through natural attrition is a good idea just for the pollution problem alone as for power production it should be from all types of systems from coal to gas to nuclear or fusion etc. as for cutting down the Amazon, if the governments are so concerned they should stop buying the products or simply start planting more trees of their own and stop bitchen about another country doing what they done to support they own country , we are suppose to be the educated society that dosn't use it's own ideas time to think out of the box and whilst not all ideas are practical they are a start . if it didn't work just state it and move on dont run with bad ideas and try and make it work like they do now . you don't get it right every time but you do learn from your mistakes

have dismantled the bottom tail gate and removed the button, the button is fine no rust or crap , looks like new even the spring is shiny . will try putting power to the solenoids later when it stops raining.

how to get the human population to do what they don't want to
you must first insight fear
then create confusion
then give direction
this is how religion has managed to last this long , they use this concept to run the church's and now the envirocyclers are using it to push us in the direction they want and because the people are to lazy to find out the truth them selves they will follow like sheep . no one has the time to fact check everything and the media are so left wing they will not tell you the truth either
as for hydrogen what happens when all the vehicles are spurting out steam on a cold day and the clouds start forming , will that be a problem releasing all that moisture into the air, will it form its own weather pattern . it's not a problem with 3 or4 vehicles but what happens when it's 3or 4 million ? dose it have the potential to change the weather on it's own?

i have fixed the button some time ago and its free and appears to be working correctly , not sticking and it has worked until now , its never been intermittent has always worked it just stopped . iv even tried sneaking up on it 😊 . i will have a wrestle with the rear cover and see what happens , i do have a spare in the event of a failure .

as it says push the button and nothing happens , worked one minute then nothing . i have dismantled the right side and found the plug with all the white wires in it and i think it is the pink wire that i need to put power to to power the solenoid , is that right .is there another way to open the tail gate or is the big hammer time:😂 . if the solenoid is dead is there a way to somehow operate the top door lock without damaging anything .

just to add to the unleaded fuel comments , this my observation over the years .
in 1983ish the Aust gov introduced unleaded fuel to Aust , in 85 it was mandatory . at the time a friend handed me 3 or 4 pieces of paper to read in relation to unleaded fuel , the headline was why are or service station operators dying of cancer. it was a euro study so you may have also read it .it stated that the attendants cancer rate went from 10% to 90% in ten years . they found that the fumes from the pumps was causing cancers along with contact with the fuel and the exhaust fumes. it then stated that all pumps were to have vacuum extractors on all pumps and to stand up wind of the fumes and to not make contact with the fuel ever, wash it off immediately as it can be absorbed through the skin , it went on about the things you would expect . after reading this i just never used fuel for wash down any more .
over the years things changed as the gov pushed that cigarettes was the evil of the world causing all the cancers in the world so the big push for people to stop smoking , its bad for you, so they say . this is the interesting bit , in 85 the gov made it mandatory for unleaded fuel while pushing the smoking debate ,, so about 50% of smokers quit over the next ten years , this will fix the cancer rates . no it didn't cancer rate sored while smokers quit in droves , so smoking is not the problem . it take around 10 yrs for problems to show up when changes are made (unleaded fuels) cancer rates are still going thru the roof so to speak and the 15% of smokers that are left are still to blame , they now call it passive smoking from the people that used to smoke , it has to be that ,doesn't it . no its unleaded fuels , we have self serve here so no attendants to get sick just the population it self to do it them selves which is the part of the problem followed by people who park their car in the house (an attached garage to the house). when i ask people if they can smell the fumes in the house the answer is yes followed with so your happy living in the shed they look at you strange. i then explain this to them and that the fumes are super toxic when they start their car and it settles on the kids sport gear bikes etc and they don't know what to say , that sticky residue is a highly cancerous unleaded fuel . the cancer rates in Aust are still rising and people that smoke has settled around the 15% mark . i am no saying that smoking is good for you as i smoked for 30 yrs , not now tho, this my opinion on unleaded fuels that i have observed over the yrs here in Aust there is a lot more to this but im not going that far into it , just use commonsense when handlinfg the fuels and don't breath the fumes
PS a smart man could push that cigarettes are a health product that prevents cancers if you look at the stats 🤣

be careful changing pistons and rods as it will interfere with the throw of the crank and the piston, important part of engine operation .when they stroke engines they lengthen the stroke by offsetting the crank journals and the gudgen pin in the pistons and use different length rods if the 4.0l piston is higher and your fitting a hi lift cam make shore you have the valve clearance

welcome Craig i have the same no options on my 97 either, its not a bad thing no sun roof to deal with no cold leather seats to fix, i like my cloth seats .always warm to sit in.

hi, sorry for pushing this button again. i personally don't listen to the tripe that comes from the media its all left wing usually and not the truth just someones opinion , its hard to find the truth so i don't look anymore . our coal in Aust came from furns not animals , so thats news to me , thanks for pointing that out . as for the temps and the seas rising they have been doing that since forever 10,000 yrs ago you could walk from Tasmania to the mainland and not get your feet wet now its 50 meters deep, that happened 10,000 yrs ago not the other day so what did the humans have to do with that , way before the industrial era . considering that the industrial era started because of population exploded because man finally worked out how to preserve food for the winter i would be more inclined to go with Pierre on that one, as population is a real issue that is not even a part of the argument when it comes to these issues. simple, more people more of everything to accommodate more co2 , less people less co2, that's a mathematical equation so its a real issue . also if you cover the surface of the earth with solar cells once again you are warming the surface bye default as the cells hold heat , in other words warm up the area they are in , if you have seen infra red pictures of these areas you would know what i am on about . once again its not spoke off because its not in their favor . wind turbines are another issue that they just brush over ,the power from them is almost useless unless they feed a battery bank , you can not feed power into a grid that fluctuates , it just dosn't work and then there is the wild life that all this is supposed to protect . last year we lost 6 eagles to the turbines , that dosn't sound much but we only have 1200 or so left , they class this as natural attrition . if i had my way they would never turn again not suitable for hear but the scare campaign is so out of control that people have lost the truth . i my opinion most of the problems start with the letter P
population
politicians
profits , both monetary and biblical
plastics
pollution
deal with these issues and most of the other problems will disappear
no one has changed there behavior in relation to co2 anyway so its time to learn to live with it and stop fighting a loosing battle, if its a real thing only time will tell and in all honesty none off us know the real truth!
PS Mr Bolt dose have some good comments but sometimes its a bit off side so to speak, but he dose try to keep it honest, puts both sides up for comment so you can make your own decision on whats right which is what should happen not just one side and deny the other.

im with you on those straps , they are some how upside down inside out with a twist but they do a very good job when they on properly . as for towing (alot depends on the actual trailer) the last two recoveries i done i put one on backwards and it towed better than the one that was on front ways, thats how they where in the drive way when i picked them up . when you get used to a trailer you just know if the vehicle should be hard up against the front of the trailer or if it should be back a little to even out the weight . when using a trailer for the first time it is a bit of a guess.

wow, the salt on the roads over there must just kill your cars. i had my rover about 4 years and do a lot of beach work and i bitch about a bit of surface rust on things . looking at the rust on these i have nothing to complain about .is this typical of all cars ?

mad-as, sorry mate but you need to educate yourself. Here's a start.

so you have a different view Morat that's a good thing because it makes people talk about the real issues . sorry i can't look at the item you posted , i have to register to read it , not interested in the rubbish that comes with that . you didn't say which part you was not happy with did i tell a lie if so point it out so i can fact check it please.
the problem with the environmentalists is you are not allowed to challenge any of it as you will be attacked personally because they don't have the answers to the questions . its all been so over exasperated that the truth is a distant thing . if the environment was in such a delicate state why is Elon Musk firing rockets into space ever other day knowing that he is destroying the ozone layer and not a word from the environmentals
we do have real issues in the world but carbon is not one of them.

stop worrying about the environment, their is no amount of carbon that will hurt you or the trees or the animals , its been at the levels they say are devastating to planet many times before . if the levels get to low the trees will stop growing along with your food , think about that for a second . then ask yourself where all the copper and the lithium is going to come from, there's is not enough in the world to do what they want so its not going to happen . the governments will loose all the revenue from fuels and the car industry itself. the worlds economy has been built on the car industry for the last 70 odd years or more and that is not going to change. there is something like 22000 parts to a petrol car and are made all over the place , electric cars don't have anywhere near that amount of parts so no employment in parts or spares as the consumables are not their
when ever a politician says we will change the rules if that statement is not in their elected period its very unlikely that its going to happen as the next lot will just change the date to suit their agenda , to the next elected period. just like Biden in the US in the next 10 years, he can only hold office for 8 years so its not going to be his problem, seen to be doing something but doing nothing on purpose. thats my 2 cent rant, sick of the lies and bullshit that are being pushing , ask yourself where is the money going and to hoom

yes some of them are pulling good money and they are getting better all the time , the same as the p38 is getting better for the right model but if we have to wait until they are 50 years old we have some time up our sleeves.

ive asked this question in relation to Japanese bikes and the reply is that are just not old enough yet, give them some time and all things will have a value
as on man once said to me when i had a villiers and i went to ... and broke down and this happened and then some think else happened and so on so on , he then said the problem with Jap bikes is they didn't break down so no one has these memories of when this happened and that happened so on. memories to bring you back to reminiscing or wanting one again for nostalgia reasons. people that buy things like old GTs or whatever owned one when they where young or their dad had one.
with the p38 most original owners would already be older than most so when they sold there p38 they most likely dont want another one or go back to another one ,hence the price today . all the better for us but i do believe that in time these vehicles will appreciate and come into they own, you just wait a little while .

if you are going to replace your cam with a hot cam just note that to get the best out of it you may have to do more than you think . i have never personally got any advantage from replacing the cam only, doing one mod when you need to do many . to get real advantage from hot cams you need to mod heads do exhaust ,change the mapping of the ecu etc. in some extremes you are required to replace pistons for the correct compression, the list just goes on and on
its easy to tell you it will be ok as its not their car that will not run properly your ecu is set to run a standard cam and the fuel graph will not suit it. it may change the sound it may even increase power in one area slightly but it will run rough in the critical area of the motor use more fuel and and most likely be noisier in the motor
IMHO you need to do it all or do none off it . no real advantage ,good usable power is not cheap
power is all about getting air in and getting it out there is no point forcing air in that that can not get away!
i

the heat is to loosen the lock tight .thats if its been used (they use heat on outboard motors all the time )it will not do any damage ,your only warming it up not cooking it.

it could be lock tighted in so you will need heat for that , try the other bolts just to see if they move , also try a good smack with a heavy hammer on the head of the bolt , try forwards and reverse with the rattle gun if its possible put some heat on it around the block area even a heat gun might do it just take longer.

i have 3 at the present

100,000 on original discs is nothing , dont toss them thinking their worn out , measure them up if concerned.
