Indeed, but "right" varies by application. The SU Carb oil is a specific weight but sometimes they go for lighter/heavier because the piston moves to fast/slow.
The old type of oil in the pot discussion has been going on for years, heard of folks using gear oil, 3n1, atf, jack oil & whatever
oil went in the engine. All good fun. Think I had a bottle of mystery oil somewhere. Njoy your book.
Afternoon folks.
So the fire was roaring at 09:00 today, yep it has snowed again overnight. It stopped around 5pm yesterday and really hadnt come to much. But todays effort is pretty good. Its just getting control of the roads and reckon we have about 2inchs so far.
So staying warm and toasty inside today.

Want to visit Bulgaria this year, Don't know yet for how long
with our 300TDI Defender and got got few questons for you1. Current UK insurance company gives 30 days European cover. Would you recommend to buy a 6 month cover from a UK company or buy cover while in Bulgaria?
2. As it is a Land Rover do you know garages that have Land Rovers knowledge? The timing belt is due at somepoint, thou could maybe wait if feeling lucky
I seen years ago via a Overlanding channel on Youtube that Istanbul has a independent Land Rover garage that does lots.
Thanks

He could, or Mikunis, a Weber, a Dellorto or all sorts of things, even a Fish
Do you think Strombergs are better? The only time I had one it was a royal pain. And of course they have diaphragms to split.
(In his 4 chapters on carburation, Vizard doesn't mention Strombergs at all.
It is said they are technically superior but harder to tune.
I'd go for an HIF SU. The rest of the engine is so suited to them.

I know no one who can agree as to what to put in them, I think it varies by season. I personally have tried 3 in 1, engine oil and even nothing!And you have the right viscosity of oil in them ...
I also found that after no time at all, the flipping thing emptied itself!

I posted before I read this. I'd just start with 3-in-1 and go with that until you have got a bit further into it.Indeed, but "right" varies by application. The SU Carb oil is a specific weight but sometimes they go for lighter/heavier because the piston moves to fast/slow.
Piston movement is also governed by the wear between it and the cylinder it rises in and by the strength of the spring.

We've been doing that recently and just turning the temp down top about 16 -17 degs.Morning All.
In a departure from Standard Operating Procedure we set the heating to "ON" all night. Nice & toasty this morning.
I didn't fancy BBQing in this weather so I nipped out last night and got a small piece of beef for slow-cooking.
Have a lovely Sunday!
We'll be having roast chook today!
Must remember to put the wine in to chill!

1. you would need to speak to your insurer to get the cover longer, Not sure you could insure a UK plated car here.
@Stanleysteamer has longer European cover but don't know who with or details @english111 does stay a while so he may
know ( he hasn't been on for a while) Plus not much point in a 6mth cover (unless you have European residence/citizenship) without Appling for a visa as you are now only allowed 90days in Europe without.
2. There are lots of locals who can be pretty good and some main dealers, getting anything other than basic parts could take some time. So I would certainly make sure everything is as good as possible and if its due do it before you are stuck, Wouldn't hurt to pack some or spares either
I do most of the work on our cars, Main dealer for the L322.
3. Istanbul is Turkey
What part are you planning on visiting or is it just a general drive around. we are on the east coast 1hr from Varna. Theres loads to see depending on what you want.
We love the easy going lifestyle, but it can be frustrating sometimes

When I was a kid Bukta was the tent of choice.I had to look up Bukta.
First one we had was this one.
Then we graduated to a frame tent, exactly the same as this:
Although for some reason the peeps who own this have not extended the open flap and supported it on the two poles with guy ropes like they have the one over the cooking area!
We used that until I left home. I even used it when I went to Scotland with my ex before we got engaged.
It was finally given to the scouts who were amazingly grateful for it!
