Maybe those were the pilot holes that were in the wrong place

There are quite a few photos on Google if that helps... this thread shows how someone has done it..

If it's like the 80, I had to remove the upholstry from the rear, unbolt and replace. Had to take the seats completely out. Was an easy job, just fiddly.

Hi All, Before I put it on Trademe, I'm selling the cruiser, its just not getting the use it was built for. 2 trips in 3 years :-( 80 Series Landcruiser - Tripe Diff Lock with 7 seats! Purchased almost 9 years ago and built for the hardest WestCoast tracks while being used as a daily driver and do ...

My cruiser was doing exactly what your talking about, head has been off and pressure tested fine. Head is going back on today with a new gasket. Head guy said the only other thing it could be would be the Oil Cooler, but 1HDT might be very different to yours...

The Agreed value is the maximum they will pay under the policy, but they will work out market value at time of loss. Basically what John told me was it gives you a line in the sand to argue from. Did you read the last policy doc? Unless stated differently in this policy, we will indemnify the ...

I would want to personally inspect one from the UK, do you have family that can??

Yea I do, my dad inspected the caravan we bought over.

That depends on where in the country you buy it from, quite a few counties dont use salt now. And it would likely be less than 10 years old.

Hi All,

Before I start researching this, has anyone imported a Defender from the UK? Looking to replace the cruiser with something newer.

Looking to price up a Mall crawler, 8+ seater 90 or 110. Used by a mum do drop the kids off at school.

Thanks,

Bill

Those dog bones will help, but you will need to follow the factory instructions for adjusting the handbrake, since I put the dog bones in and learnt how to adjust it properly I havent had any issues.

I had the same issue when I had spacers, went to LN107 hubs and stubs and AISIN hubs, never had the issue again

Still reading...

Do you have hub spacers?

Trevor ... Go up via the canal .. its easy and free. Fanghill is on the right and on other side is a private hut on kiwiflat. Just watch the colour of the river and the height and should be fine. The fire in the hut at kiwiflat smokes terribly. Take a roll of tin foil to jam in the cracks on the ...

Have sent this out to the North Canterbury folks as they will likely be able to answer your questions... will post back what I hear.

That looks like the exact section I was talking about

I mark where we turn going to these places and the closest one I have seems to be on the junction of deep creek road & Linnburn Runs Road.

made a typo Gidday Guys, I'm assuming someone on here has done this before, imlooking for advise if is there an easy way to extend the factory breather (if there is one) and can I tee the transfer box and transmission breathers together or should I run two lines?

Been a decade since I've been up there, but from memory with this amount of rain there will be long sections under water and you wont be able to tell where the bog holes used to be. I would be prepared for some longer distance recoveries, pretty sure last time I went in with Central Otago club, that ...
