worked fine for me

thanx guys.. i'll have a good look after work tomorrow the reason i suspect the motor is gone though, is because when i turn the key i can hear a click.. just no movement.. so i assume the relay is still working. it's not a mechanical click.. it's an electrical click.. if that makes sense i'll dig ...

Kia Ora Koutou the back window in the Surf has finally given up.. stopped working with the in-cab switch a few months ago, but has recently stopped working with the key as well i assume it's stuffed at the cab switch and the motor.. that said, anyone have a source for a replacement motor? have been ...

cheers hose.. just what i was looking for

how bout a price on 33" ?

with that in mind.. if i put 33" on my stock surf, will i have to do any work on drive shaft or worry about making changes for CVs etc?

was out for a play on Muriwai Beach west of Auckland when a "friend" of mine decide to power-side up to the side of my rig.. he sent a wave of sand in through my open windows and covered the sunroof track. now i should know better than to have the sunroof open when we're throwing sand around, but ...

cheers guys.. im not gonna bother doing anything about it.. just wondering. have a good weekend all. whats left of it

.. what that clunky, grindy noise is that seems to live in the suspension of quite a few surfs is.

you know, the one that embarasses your girl friend when you do a slow, tight u-turn in the middle of town

not mportant, just wondering

Bet the beach is busier than SH1 in rush hour these days. Any ideas on getting a permitt for the bombing range or something like that??

just add my name to the bottom of your permit

DieselBoy wrote:If your keen to do an overnighter, i would be into that. Thats what weekends are for!!!!

i'll contact closer to the trip date to confirm. and to see if it's worth co-ordinating a gear list etc

Well looks like PAID knows his way round Muriwai Dunes. So PAID, are you keen for trip leader? dunno if im the right choice i'd be inclined to intentionally lead everybody astray. bring a bedroll and food to.. depending on the weather i might stay up there and come out on the early morning low tide ...

taken last time i was up there.. a few weeks ago now

PAID: Dude, where can you find acurate information from. The best i could do was from m Which tells us that Muriwai has a High tide of 13:50 on the 17th! i use niwa or hydro.linz.. they're usually around the same time. although once you're out there you wonder how they come up with their times ...

high-tide on the 17th is around 2:30pm.. usually look at Onehunga tide and minus 30miins for high and 40mins for low

or something like that

double and check and let me know. i'll come for a blast.

bring a rig wearing tow hooks. a strap and a spade

yeh knew they were.. figured there;s little sense in one without the other.. just ask my boy fitzy about the Red Dragon.. snorkel looks great, but his diffs are shot

if he does the snorkel, will he have to do the diff breathers as well?

mid morning low tides this weekend.. i'll check with my back-up rig and see what day he wants to go up. nothing flash.. im running a stock surf. just a good play in the sand

PajeroMan wrote:PAID: Yes i will definantly give you a howler when i go up there next. Thanks mate.

maybe heading up there this sunday for the day.. lemme check the tide and i'll PM ya

welcome to the board.. im based in auckland myself. so if you find anything muddy let me know.. i'll bring my strap so i can pull you out

spend a bit of time out at muriwai.. there's a lot more up there than you're probably aware of.

lemme know next time you head up there.. i'll come for a run

in auckland? details rex, details

what was the final verdict with this type of lift? sounds like a cheap and easy way to get more room under the arches

Still... Must be SOMETHING I can fit it into

i'll try my best to blow the oil-burner in my Surf today.. then you can put it in there

of course you'd have to pack up the workshop and bring it all up to auckland..
