that was gold! had to pull him out of a bog.

went up 2 weekends ago with 'tintin' it was raining most of the day. got to the crossroads no problems, but couldnt get up to the summit. it was too slippery - mind you i am in a standard wizard, dont have a locker. was good tho. will get very slippery in parts with more rain (which we have had ...

ok cool,

im at the V8's on saturday too, so shall we call it Sunday at the gate to thompsons at 1pm?

Hi guys,

If anyone is heading up thompsons this weekend,

I'd love to tag along if its possible.

pm, or ring/text me (021 351 651) if you wouldnt mind another truck coming with you.

Many thanks

Nathan

sorry, already bought a truck a while ago now.

NO LONGER WANTING TO BUY.


Cheers

nope, no rust in my chassis. its a 1998 so not really that old (well still 10 years)

rear hook must have been removed to fit the tow bar as its not there anymore - and theres no room for one anyway.

anyone else have any ideas about tow hooks on wizard/mu?

hmm good point. I will check it out tonight.

hey guys, have searched and read alot about the mounting of rated recovery hooks but still want clarification. how have people mounted their hooks on the front of a Mu or wizard? (being almost identicle at the front) i was thinking of silding some angle steel down inside the end of the chassis rail ...

yeah battery was stuffed.

when i tried starting it, it went down to 2volts,

got a new battery today at lunch and its perfect now. 600CCA from century for $90. not bad

thanks heaps guys

Nathan

yeah i think the battery is buggered. they shone dimly, but then went bright, but only for a few seconds then went dim, until eventually they turned off. i put a volt meter accros the terminals and it shows 12-13vs think i'll just get a new battery this week. and see what happens. the battery ...

its a 98, 3.1 turbo diesel auto.

hi all, i washed the engine bay on my 3.1td wizard on saturday, then went to start it and the big relay closest to the fuse box in the engine bay started making heaps of clicking noise as if it was going on and off really quickly. i charged my battery (which is think is shagged - but will have to ...

if i can get my hooks mounted this week i would be keen to tag along.

just check your not over filling it with oil. some motors are worse than others for venting oil out the breather, even when new. as far as blow by goes, take the rocker cover cap off and feal how much is gas is blowing out. having said that a lot of older deisels that are well known for blowby run ...

also as a side note, why do diesel engines not run a factory blow off valve? surely with the high boost diesels typically run, it would prolong the life of a turbo by venting the excess boost when the throttle is closed? - can anyone shed some light on this for me? cheers. You said it, what ...

ok just to clarify, when i said "quite a bit of oil" i didnt mean it was overflowing with oil and when i pulled the clamps off, oil didnt run everywhere. i meant that there was the 'remains' of oil in there, i.e was quite greasy, and when wiping it with my fingers could tell it was oil. so, i probly ...

ok, noted doddzee. thanks for that.

will see what happens, but generally the motor is in pretty good nick i think. I had a diesel mechanic look at it before buying it and he couldnt fault it (apart from the 2 broken manifold bolts)

oh, that dont sound good.

the motor is a superb runner though. no smoke or anything. i will probly keep it till it dies and rebuild it if that happens.

its a 3.1td not a 2.8td just incase that makes a difference

hey guys, general query here. took my wizard apart in the weekend to get at broken manifold bolts. noticed quite a bit of oil in the intake pipes. coming from a breather from the motor into the intake just after the airfilter. question, is this here for a reason?? - to lube some of the intake/turbo ...

damn open homes and needing to tidy house/mow lawns before it sucks! otherwise i'd be super keen to tag along.

what time does it start/finish?

do they have a website?

yeah phoned them and they said that if i came in they would see if they could match something up.

what brand did you get?

hi all, can anyone recommend an extended travel shock (with model numbers if poss) that will fit my 98 isuzu wizard. most places i seem to ring tell me there is no listing for an extended shock. looking to raise suspension and want to know what shocks people would recommend. oh and im on a tight ...

sorry yeah road legal.

WOF and REG.

cheers

budget is no more than $3500 - $4000

let me know what you've got.

cheers
