Seems a tad long for UHF, surely? VHF, maybe, HF certainly?

Ha ha, you are right. I wanted her to be seen like UN vehicles . Actually it is a fixed antenna for roofs or buildings. But I need high wattage to reach our repeater. We do not have vhf repeater in our city for now.

Copied over from my 'Fred 
I set out today to do the rear axle oil.
Of course it wasn't easy because some muppet had tightened the shizzle out of the filler plug, even though it's plastic! Eventually a pair of mole grips got ti out.
Oh and why in the F did LR put plastic bung plugs in there?
Just to do the diff oil lol
Mole grips and pliers saved the day!
Oil didn't look too bad and twas up to level.
The magnet had some metallic paste on it but no chunks!
This is the Oil I used, for anyone wondering!
Millers Fully syn, isn't cheap but I believe you get what u pay for. will be changing it every year. Or every other oil change.
Some upgraded brass filler plugs are on their way..

Looks like u had a right fight there mate , happy days getting the plug out
Also use millers , recently used it for my engine and must admit sounds quieter but that might just be me
Am still dreading when I try and get the filler plug out of my autobox
Even though I only done a few hundred miles from last year I’ll still change all the oils and filters
Great job there by the way for getting that plug out

It is defo good stuff.
I personally like to change the oil twice a year regardless of mileage, just keeps stuff fresh, I used shell Helix ultra in my engine. Will use Millers next lol.
Autobox for me next too lol

Another thing done today.
I'll be fitting a Galvanised Chassis at some point so this is just a bandage to help preserve this chassis while I save up for a new one.
This is the big tub 2.5 litre, half a can does all the chassis and arches.
I'll be painting the radius arms silver incase anyone is wondering.
Also did this area, high impact and all that.
I'll be filling the sills with waxoyl next I fink!

This is the finished product of my side step adventure.
My "barely GCSE" Caprentry skills were employed here, can't you tell lol?
I did use coach bolts to stiffen it up.
Mastic and rubber caps were used to hide the head!
I'll be painting the wood to help blend it in.
It isn't that noticable but i'll still do it.

My personal preference goes to Castrol Magnatec. YMMV, of course

They have been around since 1887 so plenty of research time!
Personally I believe you get what you pay for, while i subscribe to the change cheaper oils more frequently strategy, I can do that with premium oil just the same.
Twice a year for Engine oil , And the axles and TB every other oil change.
Assurance for me personally As I tow quite around my yard frequently and the vehicle is worked quite hard.
Some say the difference is negligible but I disagree, You check the spec for Millers Premium 75w90 and check the equiv Carlube etc you'd be surprised.
The same can be said for oil performance reviews on the net, each vary.
everyone has an opinion, and mine is to use good oil.

Not for everyone but it does smell good, and The refill's are quite cheap
Interesting. Where'd you get them?
