Re: Auto Air Conditioning Firm Wellington / Lower Hutt

Thanks for that information, I'll try Premier Air in Wakefield Street.

Hi I have searched the threads without success so does anyone know of a suitable firm in Wellington / Lower Hutt that they would recommend to have a look at the airconditioning on my Safari. It doesn't switch on but when I apply power directly to the airconditioning pump it works (though with lots ...

Re: ARC views on 'off road impacts'

Greetings Does the report have an inherent bias or are all of the effects listed actually real and we have to acknowledge that this is so? However, as others have pointed out, all activities have an effect of some sort and the challenge for the ARC is to balance these effects with both its statutory ...

I found out that the warning light is actually conected to three sensors: 1. The handbrake 2. The master cylinder 3. A vacum sensing unit that attaches to ...

I note concern by a number of posters about controlled access. Here in Wellington one of our major 4WD areas, the Akatarawa Forest, is access by permit and this works well enough. I'm sure there are some who think anyone should be allowed to go in. The blunt reality is uncontrolled access means just ...

Monty Don't be surprised if you find that performance is not quite what you expect as the naturally aspirated 4.2 tends to run out of steam quite quickly.
