Re: Richtersveld and Namakwa

Quoting my own post, which is bad form. But I'd always wondered what actually happened... <snip> Strangely enough, in December, 2018, Kleinsee had a massive issue with illegal diamond mining. It was so rough that the folk were blatantly pegging out claims right next to the road, and the entire area ...

Re: This forum does not appear in google search results...

I've fixed any and all config issues that were around. And I've added something to try and mitigate some of the issues we've had. I've also removed the robots.txt file I put up last time in an attempt to stop stuff. So Google results should start propogating again. However, there are various ways of...

Re: This forum does not appear in google search results...

Right. As I said - I've not had a lot of time on my hands recently. One of the things I did a month or two ago when we first got hit by DoS conditions was add the following to the site's robots.txt file. User-agent: * Disallow: / This file is used to instruct robots / bots - ie: the automated script...

Re: 4.8 GRX Sunroof Switch

Re: This forum does not appear in google search results...

Fanus - this is on my list of things to do. Along with upgrading the PHP and phpBB and a whole bunch of other things. The forum is actually on Google, but I've got a misconfiguration on the apache daemon which means that it is on IP and not DNS name. I've also had my hands full with some personal is...

Re: Starter Motor TB45

Order from Partsouq. www.partsouq.com The Nissan starters are all in the order of USD300 - USD400 range. But the Denki's, Maxpart, GvT are all less than USD100 and they are fine. You will pay a little more of courier, customs and excise, but they are good enough. It is also possible to refurbish the...

Re: New Battery
