Evening all Ive got photos, just got to get around to working out how to upload them to this site :? Its excellent to remove approx 2 feet off the rear - reclaim some of my garage back :D Fun parts over, onto the tricky bit................ Rex Hey Rex, Just make a new photo album and upload them th...

Diff is in, tested the 4wd, up on furgus's farm tracks and let me say what a place that guy has 8O perfect for a 4wd nut like him! :wink: Only probs now is the fuel pump siezed - have to get it out first :roll: and my brakes are doing really weird shit! Normal the brakes are quite good, but when sit...

Good thats what I thought. I was only going by my dads disco tyres which were 400 each or something 8O Even my old SATs still go alright in muddy grass. So I will be more than happy with these and when I do get stuck, I'll just radio ahead to the rangie with 2000 worth of tyres and lockers ...... ie...

My slicks now are retreads so I'm not gonna worry to much

He was asking $110 for them. I thought that was quite good, or is it

Mike

Bodge wrote:You talkin about the Roughneck tyres?

Yeah I guess, 7.50 16" but more agressive than the standard SATs I have. Are those things road legal? If so I'm gonna get em.

Mike

I'll guess I'll just have to fit electric fans now, oh dear how sad (ha ha) Rat Then you could add a switch to turn it off and on when crossing water, not so much water would get sprayed around the engine bay then. Don't they recommend that you take your fan belt off when doing water crossings :?: ...

Stag didn't have what I were after, think they only deal with rangies :? But they steered me in the direction of Forward Specialties in Henderson. Landrover heaven!! :D Not only did I find the most agressive tyres I have seen, which I will buy as soon as I can afford them ie the next pay check!! :D ...

Hi,

A friend down in CHCH has quickly suggested it could be the diesel pump drive. Maybe he will read this and reply later

Mike

Cheers for that will check them out.

Is that because Zuks are sealed units? like the sealed headlamp when they break you have to buy a new one

Mike

Hi guys, I'm going up to auckland tomorrow and I need to get a gasket for my front diffhead. Anyone know of a Land Rover parts place near the city? or one at all?

cheers

Mike

Can't watch the game it's to stessfull so I'll type this up instead. :wink: Thought I would put the front diff in today, the only thing that is stopping me offroading at the moment. No probs getting the old one out and the funny thing is about 4 teeth fell out with the oil....... 8O 8O very strange....

What are the DSE ones ? But anyway to late I visted Mr smith today and made a small purchase of an AM CB and antenne.

Who would I go to and get the aerial tuned?

Mike

Since I'm doing most of my job hunting around Auckland area I'll go with the AM CB. Went into Tait mobile radios today and asked. 500 smackaroos for a full installation and if I did it my self I would blow the unit up! 8O That dick smith electronics one is looking real good? Did the aerial come with...

It hasn't taken you very long at all do get it done 8O You've done a very profesional looking job on it judging by the pics! Something the bodge man would be ashamed of

I think soon you'll have orders coming in from rangie owners all round the country!!

Mike

Hi all,

I know this is an age old question. What CB should I buy. I had one in my old landrover but forget what it was. Do I get an Rf,AM or UHF one??

what do the majority of people have? I went to Dick smiths today to have a look and walked out in a big confused state

Mike

Is the kopu/hikuai road the one between Thames and Pauanui? If so then maybe you started up the tracks out of the book? Are these tracks as hard yakker as the thompsons track? Do you know of any others around tauranga besides the thompsons mud slog?

Mike

No worries, wasn't looking at anything to extreme as don't have a winch and the SATs are getting down abit. Plus judging by your pic I'm guessing you don't want any racing stripes :wink: Thinking about the number 10 track in Andy Cockroft's book '80 offroad adventures north island' It's on the road ...

Update I took the old girl for her WOF, Failed on: siezed brake cylinder cracked brake hose worn steering joint no sun visor no rear tail lights All easily fixed except the mission of trying to break the ball joints without a ball joint breaker :? Luckily someone had welded the battery holder just ...

Thinking of going up to the Coromandle for an explore around now that I've got the landrover going. Would possibly be an overnighter on a weekend. It would be good to hunt out some old gold mining ruins. I'm looking at around in month or so. Has anyone done any trips similar to this? destinations? t...

:D :D :D So what you are saying is that after 2 years sittng in a shed that mechanically it is the same as if you were used it all the time :D :D :wink: Yeah I would say so, which means that if you don't drive your 4wd its still gonna need fixing so you are so much better off driving it and fixing ...

I was back in Tauranga only one day and decided to go get the landy. Rolled out to the barn with a Tranzit van and a car trailer. Got stuck just backing the trailer up to the barn! Tranzit van was abit light in the rear end and all the rain here lately didnt help the road tyres. The slope was only a...

Sounds awsome zukin!

Maybe I can rush home and get my landy going and meet you at the ferry in the morning

PM your snail mail addie to me so I can have this game waiting for you when you get back.

Take heaps of pics.

Mike

Seems he got some answers on this post in the series forum

Forum Post

If that happens to mine I now know what to do. Buy a Zuk

Mike

So I take it you are stuck in 4wd then? If you cannot get back into high range without the selector down then this is high range 4wd in a land rover. Try posting on one of these landrover forums. Don't think there are to many landrover experts on here at the moment. NZ landrover email http://autos.g...

I'll be in tauranga while looking for a job in either Auckland or Wellington. Hopefully I will find some work, need some money to get the landy on it's feet again

Mike

Don't have a turbo bolt on kit for a mitsu 2.8 in a landy hidden anywhere in there

I wonder if I could take the turbo of the camry diesel and put it on

Have to throw the car away this week!

Mike

Speaking of winches, have you thought about going hydraulic? you can winch all day and all week 8O http://www.4wdworld.com.au/products/maxidrive/hydraulicunit.htm I'm looking at this for my old landy, since I'm not running 35's, no lockers, no coils and so would be winching 10 times more than anyone...
