on a boat again

Time to go fishing. This time in a boat powered by a Swedish Bolinder hot bulb engine.

It's a pain in the neck to cold-start a late-80s Toyota Hilux without the glowplugs hooked up properly. WD-40 and a cigarette lighter did the trick.

The aftersales support for that batch of F250 bakkies imported in the early 2000s with that odd 6-cyl MWM engine doesn't really satisfy most of its owners. With the 2WD short-cab it's easier to drop it away and fit another engine inside and often also the gearbox for one matched to the newer engine. If it was in the Philippines it would be with an Isuzu 4JB1-TC, but in South Africa bigger engines are prefered. It's still kinda surprising when I see one with engine and gearbox of the Iveco Daily.
