Delays in CDs and any other communication or updates

Submitted by LuRcH on

My home Internet is currently down, and has been for the past fortnight. As a result I am unable to access my Email or Paypal in order to check any orders or enquiries relating to the site. So if you are wondering where your CD is and you ordered it anytime in the past 2-3 weeks, it will be sent out once my home Internet is online again. If you need a service manual the best step is to purchase one of the downloadable manuals.

Impending Site Move

Submitted by LuRcH on

I am planning on migrating the site to a new server I have within the next few days. Though there is no speed issues with the site, I now have a server based in the UK, as the site is actually with an American hosting company, attempting to move the site to a server just for the site and being in the UK should ensure the site will run as fast as possible.

Oils and Lubrication

This article is written in response to the numerous queries I receive about oils and lubrication, it will highlight the main types of oil, the differences in oils, and hopefully remove many of the myths surrounding the marketing ploys of oil manufacturers. Intentions are simply to provide enough information about lubricating oils for people with little knowledge of oil to allow them to select the correct oil, inform people how oils work, and allow them the knowledge to buy the correct oil without being ripped off.

The History Of Routes

The history of routes is an interesting one, it does not improve our vehicles in any way, it does not repair them or even modify them; what it does is give us a snapshot of the history and evolution of many routes we drive as off road drivers.
