I'm using an LN130 gearbox in my Range Rover project (work in progress) and I have used the BW35 auto trans bell housing and had an adapter plate made to suit. See if you can get your hands on one of these auto bell housings. The fella on Trade Me that makes the adapter plates for the 1UZ ...

Hi All. I read this post that Hello24 was inquiring about, and rang these guys. lots of help, ordered a set of 5 and including freight, they're cheaper then other crowds in the Hamilton and Auckland area's cheers for the info. regards Mike

Hi All thank you for your info above. i'll take this into account this weekend and have a play under the hood and fuse box etc... checking loose connections etc.. It hasnt done it since writing the post, so may have been loose connections?. Might take the FlukeMeter home from work this weekend ...

Hi there I recently baught a 1994 V8i disco and i'm not wondering if i've made a big mistake?. The engine warning lamps come on for .... buggered if I know why? The explination mark lamp lights up and the vehicle konks out breifly for a second or two then fires up again. Do any of you lnadrover ...

or try a big hammer and a cold chisel........... I had to do this on my surf.

is your rolled one too far gone Nathan?, sure you cant use a hydrolic ram to pump out your roof?

sweet, were looking at being there sound the same time, leaving Ham at 8:00-ish (probably drive like nana's so 9:30-10:00 sounds close. cheers

Hi All, all is fine with us at the cozzie. As Diorama said, its a public track and anyone is allowed up there. There is be around half a doz of us Cozzie folk going up on Saturday in our group and if we come across others then sweet. Should be entertaining as we've only been up there a few times so ...

Hey Madaz that'll be either Tim or Richard.... yeh all good now, welded me front diff up and she goes nearly any where now. even makes it up the rutted part to the top look out. cheers Mike

Did Summit say what courier company they used? eg. TNT, DHL, Fedex, UPS etc.... as that sounds like an airfreight price. If you get them sent LCL (less than a container load) via seafreight it should be less than what Summit are saying. Have you tried ringing any local importing brokers like Dean ...

Hey Madaz, I sure do, you must be physic....

how did you know that?

Hi Wopass, probably only half a dozen-ish. looking at taking it easy though as we dont want to scare the newer chaps (and I dont want to break anything). Have a couple of guys possibly interested in joining our Cozzie 4x4 club so thought we'd show them Thompsons track. Looking at going up the ...

Hi Fellas Me (Jinx) been here for only a little while. I'm Hamilton based also. I'm in the Cozzie four wheelers (Hamilton Cossie club). only a small number of us but we try to get out every now and then. I didnt know there was a Hamilton ORE BBQ on?, but I had a bloody boring family thing on the ...

I got some rims done a couple of years back, cost around couple of hundy for the four of them!!! from Roko's in Ellis St (Hamilton)

otherwise hamilton industrial spray painters in Greenwood St also do it.

cheers
Mike

Hi there. does this also include the fibreglass tub?. Is it just a matter of drilling out the body number tags and re riviting them onto a fibreglass tub?. I always wondered about that too. - cheers Mike.

Hi, I have the same prob with my 87 surf rear switch (inside) only winding down and not up. my key still works outside for now. also have the same probs with the drivers and passanger window switchs. I have pulled the switchs to bits and cleaned the contacts several times before. this works fine for ...

Hi there. I'm doing the same with my 3B at the moment. I couldn't find a 13B-T manifold let alone a spare 3B one to butcher. I have started making my own manifold up but getting some exhaust flanges profile cut. will use some heavy wall steam pipe to construct it. (90 deg bend etc...) I have also ...

Hi there, have you thought about using an oil cooler off an old Mazda 12A rotary engine?. They shouldn't cost the earth and are quite well build. worth a look at i recon. - cheers Mike

DO IT !!! I welded my IFS surf front diff up as I was sick of being towed out of the easiest places. Since doing it I can now climb to the top of Thompsons track (the narly left hand route) . OK yes I have to do the odd three piont turn occasionally due to loss of steering but the pros far outweigh ...

Hi, I cooked my 2L-T in the pureora forest. Pulled it down to find it cracked in three places. I then reassembled the engine using a new head gasket (still using the cracked head) and has been fine since. Sounds like a head gasket to me. I've been driving it hard for a year and half since and still ...

Hi there, regarding your search for more travel in an IFS surf. Apart from winding up the torsion bars there is no other way. I must say that my surf used to get stuck on the most easiest tracks because of the lack of suspension travel. So I welded up the front diff, MAN did that make a wicked ...
