See that there is an open letter in the indo today signed by delegates seems their concerns have been reneged on

Lad down in Wexfird just outside new Ross makes them up. Bring down your old one and he will have it made in a few days or sometimes he can buy them just as cheap. We got rads off him for old case and for the land rover. Perfect rads.
I'll get his number for you

You could try Cahills on the road between Virginia and Bally'duff or Kanes in Granard.

Kilcock radiators made a radiator for a friends old car.....might be worth a try

we need brake callipers for the pajero too, hard to get as its an import . Its a lovely jeep and its mad the technology they had 25 years ago

greysides

That pajero was pitched against the original Range Rover. So it was designed as a top model not a complete work-horse. Very comfort with it's independent front suspension compared to the RR solid beam axle.

he's right - they're a smashing jeep

I bought a 1989 one a few years ago - it was pristine and flying around. Of course the father, not having forked over his own cash for it, wrecked it. But it was still going strong

Anyway radiatior went on it and our s##t hole mechanic told the auld fella the head would be gone, no point fixing it. Grand I thought, I'll get a second opinion on that and get a decent mechanic to give it a right good once over

That same day I'm walking out of the parlour after the evening milking and I see 2 fellas looking at the jeep, by the time I had the apron off the bloody jeep was flying up the road. Well I lost it with the auld fella - he'd sold the bloody thing for 250 quid - the 4 tyres on it were nearly new. He'd been taking for a right bloody ride.

1 of the lads was a qualified mechanic - jeep is flying around ever since - infact its doing a 50 mile round trip to work for him every day.

I'll tell you one thing if the father ever pipes up about anything ever - that jeep is brought up to quieten him. If he was a good to get right of other **** around the yard we'd have the tidiest yard in Ireland

I'd better stop now - the blood is starting to boil thinking about it

local mart always on on a tuesday , cancelled today due to a bereavement . There was a load of jeeps and trailers and lorries heading there, imagine the effort of loading the stock and driving to the mart to discover it wasnt on:mad:

Would you think they at least rang those that had cattle booked in?

they dont take bookings, they put an ad on local radio farm news, pretty crap for people after travelling with cattle. I could see them going on motorway this morning when checking cattle. Would totally piss me off if i was planning on selling cattle for cashflow, i know no one plans when to die....

Muckit

Wouldn't like to have taken the day off work and head with a load and as you say be stuck for the money. Or as someone said they could be out of test.

I'd be hopping!!

whelan2

they pay on the day so you have your cheque home with you, tbh its the first time i recall the sale being cancelled

So who'll own up to remembering these days? The 'good old days' of 1967.

you can probably get a seal kit for the callipers in the motor factors, they seem to carry parts like these quicker than the calipers them selves. They are not to bad to recondition then

greysides

I had a calliper service kit used on mine several times. Worked fine.

Anyone ever drink this Coomara Poitin. I got a bottle today, it was half price. I haven't drank poitin since I became civilized about the turn of the century:)

It's reminded me of what poitin used to taste like so it musn't be too bad.

Hot water ? Not really the weather for hot toddies though . I was getting lovely stuff there , you could drink it neat and had a lovely taste to it without killing the throat
