    2016 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 3.2L I5 DuraTorq (Diesel)

    That rust is no different on the Navara, my friends 2012 went in to be re-coated, then 1 year later its back to the way it was.. Pretty bad allround.

    Best UK Comms?

    They are great, go any anywhere and fun trucks to own, just thirsty is the name of the day.. I can get about 14 MPG on a good day with polar bears blessing me. the 4.0 is bullet proof to 250k if you treat it to regular dino oil and look after the basic's, min is 20 years old and starts on the...

    Best UK Comms?

    The reason we use the PMR Band now, is simple. Easy access to the equipment for everybody.. They are £10 in Argos and standard across Europe, if you wreck one you just go and get another and the battery life is good.. Having the business license allows the use of the higher powered radio's...

    This Weekend in Oban

    Humm cannot use that one as we did the NC 2 years ago in our Merc Vario, but there is the what about all the bits we didn't see.
