Frozen meat is not a problem. Only thing is you will have to cut the meat from the bone,so it is going to be very small pieces indeed George... when my aunt brought the lamb last night for me to dry... cuts was very small. i was afraid it would be to thin for my plastic hooks.. which is about 3-5mm...

never checked my steering fluid level.
is it something that needs to be topped up once in a while?

dalkill

I've never made mutton biltong but I use the same recipe for game and beef, so I would do the same with mutton as well. With it having been frozen, I wonder how it will turn out. Once I've frozen venison I don't use it for biltong any more, I then make sausages if I don't stew or roast it. i have a...

dalkill

So my aunt asks me yesterday if i can make her some biltong from the mutton / lamb chops she has in the freezer.

Ignoring the costs implications of it being more expensive.. is it viable?
I have just made beef biltong.. is the procedure the same? Vinegar .. Salt, Coriander ... etc.

I'm also interested in the feedback on this issue. I have been given conflicting views on this. A friend of mine has garage. He said one of his clients had a 2004 model tazz. lowered to withing one inch of scraping on the ground. His inner CV kept buggering up. Theory was that the angle was now putt...

dalkill

no.
was not to sure how to reliably test it with standard multimeter. conflicting reports say you need special capacitor meter to accurately test...
it was bulging at top, and had slight rust marks... at R10 each.. better just to replace it.

dalkill

thanks Guys.

I'll order from RS online rather than the one James suggested as it seem local, so delivery time should be in days rather than months.

trying to save skoonsus LCD tv. looks like power supply board busted. Samsung don't sell the board. They want you to bring it in for them to repair and will charge you arm and leg no doubt. so i took out few components that looked dodge. got the diodes but cannot find capacitor. 68uf / 200V.

Has anybody every tried those gimmicky high tensile steel lock that make a noise when shaken?
I'm guessing probably not good idea for spare wheel as it will be make a massive noise constantly?

SO I'm on hunt for new battery as well...

Toyota R1286
Midas R1783 – discount to R1427 LOL
Autozone R970 - Sabat

Is it worth spending that extra R300 at toyota. Is a battery just a battery?

yep , doc took off my sock and immediate reaction... GOUT !! gave me a shot, and back to 95% mobility again. gave me some tabs, and i need to go for blood tests. he said he wanted to put on course of chocline(spelling?) and / or Puricos.

SO here i'm sitting at home , foot too painful to even put on shoe... I suspect GOUT, but making turn at doc later to confirm. I've had mild attacks in the recent past, but this is the first severe one. At the moment though pain is not evident until i put my foot on the floor. Got to walk on side of...

that very odd.. my 2007 model has it... I can maybe understand if you had 2.5, then it would not have the bells and whistles...

dalkill

what the fuel consumption on that model

very nice braai-lux

dalkill

so finally got a remote for the drone...

first flight.... pole.... down she goes

luckily damage not too bad... or so i thought... just chipped a propeller ...

alas, the $6 original prop, costs R295 for two here in good old zuma tax land

dalkill

i have run the thought in my head about building steel frame and galvanising it for protection.
since steel easier to weld (i could even do it myself albeit not very good), but i assume it's just for the weight factor that aluminium is preferred ?

dalkill

my one rear window also seems to be a bit sticky... it goes up smooth till certain point and then just slows down, till fully closed... i'm thinking maybe rubber at that point bit worn... maybe you have same problem ??? doubt it would cause window not to close, but worth a mention...

Took the family to Gordons Bay on Sat. Filled up at Caltex Greenways (R11.59 / lt :thumbup: ) and went back the Sunday for spot of fishing and filled up again. Pretty laid back driving, taking it easy on the revs, max 120 on highway. Try to stick to 100kmh, sometimes even cruising at 80 when i don't...

dalkill

so i got a supply of grapevine... think this is enough??

dalkill

had the same problem with the suzie...
regas sorted it out, but also found a slight leak on the connector where they refill... so it would need a refill again soon, or needed to be replaced.
have check for leaks before refill...

dalkill

mine is the standard rubber kind.. no leather. rubber just busy rubbing of on my hand. has become bit brittle from sun exposure.
could one have it covered in leather? Any recommendations in CT? it might be a bit thick though?

dalkill

thanks, will do

dalkill

Vian, i'm quite surprised you had to put in spacers or do any mods. Is that not the standard size for the later model vigo?
I know the earlier vigos came standard with 15s / 16s. I've got same tyres on as you but can't say i noticed any scrapping... maybe i did not go offroad enough

dalkill

my bakkie steering wheel is bit run down... it's starting to peel, and leaves little bits on hands as i'm driving. I thought of getting another on at scrap yard... what can i expect to pay? will the later vigo shapes 2011+ also fit and not interfere with my airbag? could i replace it myself or do i ...

i agree, depending on the make of free flow systems, you can get one with good quality sound. back in the day when i was still young and crazy for the go faster kits, i fitted powerflow freeflow system to my corolla. sound was much more deeper and refined compared to the noiser, tin like cowley syst...

dalkill

I was discussing, with brother in law, my sluggish nature of the 130 corolla i drive as daily vehicle. wife drives exact same car, and even with rings being dodge, it still pulls much better than mine. so swaar tells me i have to drain oil, throw in some diesel fuel (not sure 50/500 :D: ) and idle c...

nice bakkie :thumbup: yep that KZ mags fits nicely on there... but i'm guessing there is spacers fitted to the front i remember my first SFA .. got a good deal with a combo of KZ mags and conti-tracts , but it did not fit. wheel at front would scrape on some steering arm.

we may not have moose, but even if you drive responsibly, we have our fair share of stuff wondering into the road... cattle, donkeys, people.... 37mph = 60kph... that urban speed. so there is a very real chance you may need to execute these evasive maneuvers in South Africa. It is concerning. I woul...

Just a bit offtopic... but how do you dispose of the antifreeze?

Would not want this situation but chucking it down the toilet...

dalkill

Welcome Chris. I had two of these. A S/C and D/C. On road, slow as an ox, and ride just as uncomfortable. But once you hit offroad, all those slow kidney bashing onroad worries are forgotten when you see how capable that little 2.2 engine is. Just learn to use it to it's full low end torque potential.

dalkill

Maybe StuckInTheMudd getting better figures cause he has extra cab rather than doublecab due to less weight ???

i get about 10km/l consistently... mixture long road and town driving.
never go over 120, and keep revs to max 2500rpm.

dalkill

I took the bakkie to Toyota yesterday. It was also making a hellova racket when cold as soon as you go over 1400rpm. When warmed up its silent. Just when cold, especially now in winter, it sound like the entire engine going to come apart at the seams. I drive it like Miss Daisy when it cold. R826 la...

My ex collegue at work had exact say story for buyer working on rig wanting to buy his bike.
He also cancelled at last moment. Just did not feel right.

Rather walk away.

you cannot open the door manually with the key. Not using remote but good old fashioned turning the key?

Andy, those of us that have driven SFA will think anything an improvement of that kidney busting suspension

But that would be interesting vehicle. SFA type vehicle with hub motors.
