Re: Auto sparky - mobile

I've used B Mobile auto electrical before.

I was pretty happy with his service, go to me fairly quickly and cost the earth.

Here's a link to his website.

I agree, Mr Jacks is the place to go.

He fixed my power built jack under warranty, even though I didn't have receipts and told him it was too old to be under warranty. He could see that it hadn't done much work so fixed it for free.

Re: Chinese air locker install and test

I've been thinking of doing the exact same thing.
Did you buy the locker locally or import it yourself?

Re: Can NZ beat 1007 Land Rovers?

Hey, sorry didn't mean to turn this into a LR bashing post, just a bit of light banter. I've owned land rovers in the past, I am a fan.

My brother was actually part of that record.
It would take a seriously mammoth effort to pull off, I just don't think NZ has the numbers to do it.

Do they have any sort of filter from the separator back to the tank?

I thought I might try blast some compressed air down the line to see if I can dislodge any possible blockages???

Re: roof console

I'm in the process of making one for a cruiser, pretty easy.

Just get some card board make it with that first, then use it as a template on some ply.

The only thing I cant find is some elastic netting to cover the open storage compartment.

Re: Bighorn 764

I used to have a set of 31".

I really liked them. I don't know about longevity(didn't have them too long), but they handled well.

I don't remember about any excessive road noise.

Only reason I got rid of them is that I went to 33"

If they come out in 33" I would buy them.
