When I was talking to my partner Oddie about our impending cape trip in July, one of the first questions was. “Where will I shower ?” …Well I kinda didnt know…and talking to a few friends, it seems the creeks etc are the best place. Oddie didnt really like that idea…so the obvious solution was to get a camping shower of some sort. I had looked at the portable ones, but generally like the idea of just having one installed under the bonnet.
After a bit more research, I decided on the Helton Hot Water system.
Full Kit
Just the heat exchanger
It looks the goods, 100% copper etc….Will see how it goes when I install it.

Well, since im updating the blog…I should tell you about the purchase of the IC-400pro for my new Gu Patrol
As the series 3 (and before) GU’s seem to have bugger all room on the dash to install stuff. I had previously purchased and installed an Outback interiors roof console. I then did the research on which UHF I should get, and the IC-400Pro came out on top. It was Military grade kit and was reprogrammable to push out 25watts (the norm being 5w). The install was easy and a mate of mine already had the cable and software to reproramme. (Thanks Izy) So now I have the option of using just standard 5 watt to transmit. Or if Im in the middle of no where in serious trouble, I can now push a button and send at 25w. All in all, very happy with the IC-400Pro.

Well, ive been really really really busy latley and havent updated the blog…soz 
So ive had the frantz filter installed for a few weeks now….and i have the sample of the original oil to send away to be checked… So really havent got much to show except some pics of where i had the filter installed…
The filter was hooked into the oil galleries that used to be for the vacuum pump behind the alterator in earlier versions of the TD42, made life very easy…
