Currently in NZ and have been getting about in my parent's Rosa motorhome. It's a 1997 with the 3.9l engine, and is for all intents and purposes a Canter chassis and engine. The tachometer randomly cuts on and off, possibly when going over bumps so there could be a dodgy connection somewhere...

Walking past our truck today, I noticed to my horror that the fuel tank is stoved in, and subsequently the fuel pump assy is mangled! Weirdly, every section except the two ends have some degree of inward deformation. I figure it is one of two things... a) someone has backed into it b) it has...

Large number of 4x4 trucks for sale in Europe, many over 25(?) years old for US importation. https://www.trucksnl.com/trucks/4x4

With nothing better to do, I entered (less than10 word) iterations of 50s/60s/70s/modern '4x4 camper truck' into an AI Creator app on my phone, and these are the results - unfortunately unless I pay a subscription, the images are 1x1, which means some of the are cropped. Which one would you...

A question to UK owners who have their 3.5-7.5t rig MOT-tested in Class-4 M1 (which includes private-HGV/motorcaravans regardless of weight)... Do you have side rails and rear under-run bar fitted or not? There is no mention of them in the test guidance docs. If you don't have them fitted, are...

The 12v OBA compressors that are up to the job are quite expensive. I have sufficient 230v inverter power, and there are plenty of compact compressors that could hide away in one of my lockers. Has anyone installed such a compressor with success? Anyone thinks it's a dumb idea because...? An...

Is the FG front axle load weight dictated by the load rating of the front OEM tyres, or the limitations of the axle housing and it's C's, balljoints etc? Can the front axle be uprated to supplement the higher load capacity of super singles?

Hi folks To run with my super singles, I need to have my chassis weight plate changed to reflect the reduction in rear axle load rating due to the fitment of 137-rated tyres. This is done through the DVSA, who are the governing body here in the UK regarding heavy goods vehicles. They require...

The wee output spigot/nipple on my DEF tank pump has snapped off. Went to Mercedes (Fuso) - they don't sell the pump on it's own now, only the pump and tank together. £1990!! I found one at a truck breakers for £250 but that had 100K miles on it - my truck's only done 12K. Luckily online I...

Does anyone have a Thetford C260-series toilet that they have fitted a genuine, pattern (SOG) or DIY ventilation system? And does waste slop into that system over rough ground or steep road angles? The OEM system is under the toilet (which doesn’t seem right, coz ******** runs downhill!), the SOG...

The drain plug on my fuel filter leaks with a steady drip when the engine is running. The plug is clearly not seating as it should (it's like a cross between a banjo bolt and a brake bleed nipple). Is there a rubber seat inside the housing, or is it just plastic on plastic? Could I replace it...

Figured I would share this with the class, should someone be looking for shocks like me. One of my OEM shocks started leaking after 16000 kms, and the other has no damping, only rebound. Nearly had a heart attack when Mitsubishi gave me their price, so spent an evening trawling all the shock...

It was my turn to cook last night, so I made a 'Fuso' pie! It's actually a traditional Kiwi bacon and egg pie, but the Aussies will tell you it's theirs - just like Phar Lap, Dragon and pavlova!

I could waffle on here, but the video in the link below has all the info contained. The project has been a slow burner up to now, but it will pick up momentum from here on. Hopefully you find it interesting/entertaining?

Has anyone changed their HGV body type to 'motor-caravan' this year, given the new requirements and the usual DVLA hoops and hurdles? My Fuso Canter 4x4 6.5t is currently having a camper box built on the chassis, but at the moment the V5C body type is noted as 'drop-side body'. Reading the info...

My previous build had propane for cooking, but i was never enamoured with the idea for various reasons. Also, the hot water heating was diesel, the cooktop was the only appliance using gas. So, for my current build I thought I'd go for a Webasto diesel cooktop, or induction. The hot water will...

Hi folks. I'm at the point of installing the heating circuit. In my first camper(van) I had a Thermo Top with a calorifier on the main circuit, and a small fan matrix on an open-tee'd loop. For my current build, I want to expand on that, but still keep it 'basic' so that it's fixable in the...

Hi. Does anyone now if the FG(B) shares the same steering wheel spline as say a Pajero/Shogun, or others? I want to add a quick release steering wheel boss to my truck for added security. Thanks.

Found this googling - don't know if it's a current ad, but low miles for a 2000. https://www.truckscorner.co.uk/used/truck/35627418/mitsubishi-fg-n-a.html

I’m looking to have super-single rims made here in the UK (Aspect Wheels so far) and just wanting to confirm the dimensions I have measured/gathered are correct for my FGB71. I was hoping not to take off the wheels til I need to. Stud pattern – 6/222.2 (8.75) Hub hole dia – 165mm Stud hole dia...
