Re: Jan 11th-12th

Just replaced all filters and engine oil in the Safari. Felt a bit of a tit when i ran out of fuel just down the road because I'd forgotten to prime it after changing the filter. Rookie mistake! :oops:

7th & 8th

Maybe a day early but I went for a cruise up the Waimak to the gorge and my dog launched himself out of the window at 75kph. :shock: That was the end of my drive! He's been in care overnight and having x-rays today. Fingers crossed! Hope everyone has a great first weekend of summer....

Turbo servicing in CHCH

Hi guys, I have a Schwitzer turbo and I noticed the impellor shaft has a bit of play. Any recommendations on where to take it to get new bearings/seats put in it and any ideas on price?
Thanks in advance, Jimbo

Egr Block off plate for GQ TD42

Hi guys,
I've seen these mentioned quite a bit on the Aussie forums. Apparently improve response and economy bit and stop the fouling up of the intake manifold. Does anyone know where I can buy them in NZ? Cheers
