Terrano WD21 Gearbox issue

I've got a 93 Facelift WD21 Terrano. Most of the time it runs fine, gearbox changes smoothly etc. Occasionally when I take off from an intersection the gearbox will refuse to change up, it just sits in 1st. The only way to get it to change is to quickly turn engine off and then on again and it works...

Rhino Rack Ripoff

I'm quite keen on a Rhino Rack Pioneer tradie to sit on my roofbars.

I saw the rack on the aussie Rhino Rack page, $1009AU or $1079NZ.

Imagine my shock when I saw the price on the NZ Rhino Rack site, $1914NZ.

A big thanks to the NZ importer for further encouraging kiwis to shop offshore.

Re: winch.co.nz your service sux

I purchased a 24v winch from them a few months back. A 12v winch was sent by mistake but they arranged for it to be collected and sent a replacement and let me keep an extra cable and hook for my troubles.

So it took an extra week but they did get the issue sorted.

Re: Highway Cops TV1 tonight

Recovering from the bull bar is bad enough but why loop it round the very outside bar???

Surely they should have had enough sense to loop it around the centre closer to a mounting point?

Vehicle won't be that flash now anyway unless that was all freshwater pouring out of it.

Not sure if it would affect the rear fan but drop the front fan out of the case and make sure it isn't blocked.
