Going Everywhere - Slowly: August 2009
http://africatrek.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Going Everywhere - Slowly. Friday, August 14, 2009. On again, off again. And it's back to off again. Off the road, that is. I spent most of this past week "replacing the head gasket" - which, oddly enough, was in very good condition still. Gave the innards a good clean, put it all back together according to the manual - and then the trouble started. And an extra leak at the front of the head too. And she sounded as if all hell was breaking loose in the engine bay. I don't know how long this is going to t...

Going Everywhere - Slowly: How to use up a day
http://africatrek.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-use-up-day.html
Going Everywhere - Slowly. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. How to use up a day. Nothing in Olivia is ever fast. Here's how to use up an entire day in and around Cape Town. We have a nifty little device called an FM Protector. It's not only a tracking device, but also does some pretty fancy telling of information like whether you've hit something. But hey, we did it in Olivia. And that's very, very cool. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Suspension and Steering Damper sponsored by Pedders. How to use up a day.

Going Everywhere - Slowly: Carbed up
http://africatrek.blogspot.com/2011/02/carbed-up.html
Going Everywhere - Slowly. Monday, February 07, 2011. Olivia's been giving a few rather serious problems lately. She started jerking occasionally a week ago, and it simply went downhill from there. I did a once-over early in the week, but couldn't see anything wrong. This morning I had a call that it looked good - when could I come in? Well, this afternoon was it! With a little hard work. Goes brilliantly too. The jerk and misfire is gone. There's been one other issue though. for months now the engin...

Going Everywhere - Slowly: November 2010
http://africatrek.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Going Everywhere - Slowly. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Olivia has decided it's time she did some social networking. She's now on Facebook. You're welcome to ask for her friendship - but I can't guarantee she'll add you! She has, however, friended a couple of other Landies, and they seem to be swapping hints and tips to sort out their humans. Links to this post. Saturday, November 13, 2010. Back where she belongs. Olivia's back on the road! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Going Everywhere - Slowly: March 2012
http://africatrek.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Going Everywhere - Slowly. Tuesday, March 06, 2012. Sometimes I'm driving through packed rush-hour traffic, and see the face of a child in the car next to me, staring at Olivia the Landy. I wonder. will my Landy be the one that some kid, somewhere, holds in their heart as "one day when I grow up I want to drive one of those! Will she be the push into adventure, and travel, and the lingering smell of EP90? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Suspension and Steering Damper sponsored by Pedders.

Going Everywhere - Slowly: Gearing up for trouble
http://africatrek.blogspot.com/2011/02/gearing-up-for-trouble.html
Going Everywhere - Slowly. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Gearing up for trouble. I suspect Olivia doesn't like to be all fixed (my first car the Mini had the same problem years ago). Just yesterday we replaced a hub gasket that had disintegrated to the point where we couldn't actually find much of it when removed! There's no more oil spatters on the rim, no leaks on the hub - the engine's going well, the brakes work, all's right with the world! Or so one would think. First and second worked without a hitch.

Laquo; Potato and Eggplant Crop. Speeding up your Rooted Android phone. I know, it’s been a long time since this blog was updated, but I’ve found something so juicy and newsworthy I found a reason to add a new blogpost. So here goes, answer the following simple questions:. Do you have an Android-based phone? Have you rooted your phone? Does it lag when starting or switching between apps? To either of the first two questions, move along, nothing to see here. However, if you answered. It’s a small app.
