Tks to everyone for the replys, am just chasing something that can get me to all the fishing/prospecting spots that at present I can't get to in my Calais, the only towing it will need to do is a boat trailer with kayak and the occasional trip to the tip with a box trailer, although depending on...

Knew I'd forget something lol preferably a wagon or twin cab with canopy, just something that will get me to those fishing/prospecting spots that I can't get to at the moment, no intentions of doing any real 4wd'ing probably just the occasional washout

Am on the hunt for a 4x4 preferably a manual turbo diesel, I have a budget of around 20k. I havent limited myself to any one in particular will consider any make or model if its what I'm looking for. Cheers

Sounds like you'll be sorely missed Myazma, all the best for your future endeavours, perhaps you could pass on your wealth of knowledge to the local boyscout group. Cheerio :)

Very sorry to hear Aussie, always hard saying goodbye to a family member.

Much as u are mate, while on the subject of 'meaningful' posts the only time we seem to hear from u is when u are taking the piss out of someone elses gear...Perhaps i should copy paste some snippets from other forums and show who the real troll is?

Maybe he uses a pan in each hand and one between his feet?

The barrel i ended up getting is 14' and 1m long so i imagine i will be able to load it with a fair bit of material (provided im fit enough to do so) the weight in a spiral wheel would be reasonably easy to keep turning i imagine but with the weight of the barrel loaded and with water flying...

Never really had that problem...all my gold barely covers the bottom of one lol

Makes sense them working on a cam and not continually changing back and forth now u mention it, would put alot of uneccesary strain on the motor, never pulled one apart so was a fair bit of guesswork on my part lol. Tks for the help :)

Haha ok u were too quick for me, posted as i was typing...ill get it all hooked up and see how it turns out, Cheers

The barrel i got is 14' and 1m long so should keep the material in long enough to wash it off and break it down if needed and have plenty of cogs around to gear it to the speed im comfortable that its actually doing just that but am unsure as to how i can get the wiper motor to spin in a...

If i end up going with the wiper motor is there a relay or something i would need to remove or bypass to have it rotate in a single direction?

Yeah i did have a look at a few of these on fleabay and originally that was the way i was going to head but with no job and no money at the moment im stuck with trying to do it on the cheap, free if possible lol and a wiper motor i know i can get for that. Certainly down the track when the...

It does tks mate, already have the cogs and chain from a mountain bike and just about to go and pick up a perforated metal barrel so will start the search for a wiper motor. Cheers.
