I work in Penrose, I'll shoot over and do it in me lunch break for a box of beers

lol, well true, i dont think the missus would agree when its time to upgrade either :lol: :lol: Hell, I told her the day we got married, as soon as she hits 36, I'm trading her for 2 x 18 year olds... :twisted: But thinking about it, I'm a bit older, and the way 18 year olds are now, I dunno that I...

At least they're easier to replace...

Generickiwi

Well I bit the bullet, swallowed some pride and went to a brake place, he's confident its not the master cylinder or booster, he reckons its a lack of vacuum... so the great hunt for a vacuum leak begins.

Shit I hate cars sometimes...

Plenty, and to be safe I have some spare fluid on my hands, pants and socks... don't ask about the socks...

Generickiwi

Right, well after putting it off for a while, I finally replaced the rear pads and shoes on the terrano. It all went pretty straightforward, but now I seem to have pissed off the gremlins... when I hit the brake pedal, my handbrake light flicks on, and the pedal gets a bit spongy. I don't want to th...

Seems I can send PMs, but cannot receive them - I have between 0 and a handful in my inbox, so I don't think storage is an issue?

Trying to catch up with some bods - help?

Generickiwi

Long story short, I'm keeping the Terrano, and have some money to spend on it. I have a few jobs that need doing, and I think at the top of the list, especially having suffered from the dreaded diesel bug last year, that getting the injectors serviced/replaces is probably a wise move. Which leads me...

Generickiwi

well it looks like ya not selling it then, as i have { pm} you, and no come back???????? I'd reply, but apparently I have no PMs... Hmm... :edit: Well, I can send myself a PM, and after some tinkering I've finally got the bloody search function back that has been missing for months... Weirdness...

Generickiwi

Alas - it's so man... The Camry has already usurped the parking space... Gonna be a pain in the arse to sell though, don't want it going to some muppet who thinks it's a commuter - it's not! This thing is far happier in the mud and bush than on the motorway... so I'm hoping (once I get off my fat ar...

Bugger, been busted back to a 2wd by the finance minister, until some bills are taken care of... So, the dreaded parting of the ways between me and the steed begins... Sigh... Still, I have been given a time frame of around 24 months, then the distinct possibility of buying something bigger and bett...

Generickiwi

after todays trip out in waiuku forest one terrano with us bent the bugger out of his steering, drop arm, any mod to it will be good :D Heh, and he used to give me grief about me breaking MY wagon... by the way, the new CV joints held up well! Apparently he has in mind a system to uber strengthen t...

Generickiwi

I thought I'd have a laugh and tried repco... they have two types, one $295 and the other $297!

Found a place in Otahuhu that has both for $165.

Going to try Partmaster tomorrow, still get trade there so hopefully it'll be a bit better again...

Should have mentioned, that includes beer, pies and other incidentals...

Can't wait to see how much the leaking water pump I just found is gonna be though. Thank fugg I landed a job a couple of days ago!

Generickiwi

Well, approx. $260 later... Turns out it was easier than I thought, managed to remove the entire hub in about 10 minutes, and persuade the old joint off with a copper mallet leaving the axles in place. One was absolutely munted, the bearing case was in about 8 pieces, while the other was in better s...

Good lord, Mike, ya wagon looks FILTHY! (*snigger*)

So when ya doing Woodhill?

Went out today, loadsa fun, but thank god for winches and strops!

Generickiwi

Right, well... what a staggeringly fun day today - out with a few club mates patrolling at Woodhill 4x4 park (read as: larking about and playing in mud) doing all manner of things, playing with recovery gear and other such stuff that 4 lads and their trucks are want to do. BANG. Yeah, that pricked m...

I better make it a six pack

Generickiwi

hey come around here and help turbo a old saf and see how sweet your are with your problem :D How about if I just bring a beer over tomorrow after work, and I randomly smack my head into my bull bars while you point and laugh at me? That's preferable to the grief I am getting from the wife at the m...

Generickiwi

The diesel bug is back.

I bloody give up.

Gimme back my petrol vehicles - far less bloody effort!

Generickiwi

So you have removed the gauze filter in the pump ay? That may now be the issue or the new(ish) filter is partially blocked. If any crap (even microscopic) gets into the pump it can cause this too. Forget what you have done in the past and start again. Think I'm half way to a box of beers :mrgreen: ...

Generickiwi

Well, things have been pretty good... or HAD been pretty good. After a club run round Waiuku forest mid-June, wound up shelling out a mortgage payment on a new alternator, and now the old girl is giving me more issues. She's fine and dandy on the flat, loves going downhill, but by god show her a hil...

***UPDATE!!!*** My virginity is gone. As of the 19th of June, 2011 - I am now initiated in the way of the bush. Went out with the Manukau club folks for the Westpac fund raiser, and what a hell of a day :D Long story short, I tried everything once, got towed once, and have been told by my two kids t...

Righto, well I went along last week to the Manukau meeting - what a good bunch of buggers. So I've been talked into a club run this coming Sunday - good bit of newbie play time out Waiuku way - gonna be a lot of fun. Applied for membership, after talking to so many guys and hearing so many awesome s...

Probably popping along to the Manukau club meeting tomorrow...

I have owned my Terrano for just over 3 months, and it has still to be made dirty under my ownership. It's seen sand for about 10 minutes (and had a heavy bath straight afterwards) and been along beautifully groomed metal tracks through forestry areas, but hasn't been properly dirty. Which means yes...

Generickiwi

Well, it's still a tad gutless, has issues with hills and probably needs a little more TLC, but it's better than it was... Time to get digging again... Methinks that the little injector pump filter is going to be a thorn in my side for a little while yet... curse you little filter! **EDIT** Well, it...

Generickiwi

IT LIVES! Well, pretty much - it seems that after persistence and prayer the old girl has finished sulking. I put the gears back in the tank, but not before picking out some sizeable pebbles and crap, started it up, and it ran like a dream. Being a sucker for punishment (and knowing a mate of mine ...
