I get my Mitsi parts from USA on line, genuine parts delivered to door. Use BNT for plenty of stuff though, just get used to replacing parts more often :D How long's the turnaround on stuff ex USA? Is freight costly? Re your comments about BNT stuff, you reckon it's best to go genuine? Crash ...

I've just tried partzonline.co.nz there was a stuff up with some of my order couriered from another depot and it didn't arrive.... they have been real good to deal with it about and they are sending another set to my work for me Price wise they are at the trade price for what I was buying and they ...

Cheers, looks like a nice website too

Thanks, I'll give them a go.

Doing the cambelt and a few other things on my new (to me) L200. It's the first Mitsy I've owned so not sure the best place to go for parts. Obviously there's the likes of Appco, Partworld etc but wondered if there's a better option? Based in Palmy but happy to do mail order also.

Thanks, that has the > 94 engine info, just want one for the rest of the car esp electrics which I need to look at.

Nah the manual I found (CD-ROM version) turned out to be for a 2007 version not the 1993 version it said it was, after a lot of dicking around getting it running

Might have to resort to ebay at this rate.

Thanks Crash bandicoot, it was called the Triton too, which I believe the new models are known as in NZ now as well as a heap of obscure names:

I think I might actually have found something, just downloading it.

Just bought a 93 L200, 2.5L 4WD. Am having a hell of a job finding a service manual for it, even just recommended service intervals. So far have found a 4D56 service manual which is OK for the engine, and a PDF on the cooling system (it isn't getting hot so I was looking how to change the thermostat ...

p.s. I need approx 280mm clearance cheers

Just putting this out there incase someone's got one sitting in the shed... Have just bought a Series 1 Disco with roof rails. Looking for either a rack to go on the rails or a gutter mount rack that is high enough to clear the rails. So a tall tradesman one or something. Thule do a foot assembly ...

Got the CRC stuff in the end, will give it a crack at the weekend

Here's what i used to use when painting rusty marine engine blocks, worked a treat and was one of the cheapest too. m Cheers, Mitre 10 sells this too, it is awesome stuff. Thanks, I am pretty sure this is what my mate recommended but I forgot what it was called. Will give this a try. Anyone used it ...

Thanks, both those products look like they will do the job. I had some spray on stuff from Supercheap which left a coating but it washed off, was rubbish. Good to have some recommendations. I find the best way to convert rust is with a grinder Yes obviously the bulk of it will be removed first. Want ...

Looking for somethiung like this available in NZ: http://www.superior-industries.com/products/aerosol-products/coatings/rust-con-500-rust-converter.html Has to 'convert' / neutralize rust and act as a primer. Also needs to be UV stable as I don't have an indoor workshop (well I do but it's full of ...

Thanks, I can't take credit for the barwork that was done before I bought the truck, for my first one I wanted something mostly setup already.

I have been generally happy with it though, just need to stop the rot

This is probably gonna be real easy and quiet boring to most of you, but I hope there will be guys like me too on here who have their first truck and enjoyed it for the first year or two and done the work on it, but now it's starting to show a few problems. Mainly cause I drive it on the beach ...

Good to meet you all today, here are a few bits of video I took.

Next time hopefully will have my truck going!

p.s. might just go down wreckers one day see what they got, hit it till it fits

Ah mean, was it pretty easy fitting the bar? Those lights look awesome you giving me more ideas lol!! Going to need another battery

Would prefer the gutterless style if possible so i din't have to drill holes but they're like roking horse shit

Yeah it's a difficult one alright, I was thinking of using my paraffin gun to get stuff down there, maybe even spraying some old oil or something just to slow it down??? Have used fishoilene in the past that seems to hold off the salt for a while although you have to let it set before going on the ...

p.s. Sorry to bother you again Craydiver but what's your advice for inside chassis rails etc?

I use the truck on the beach most weekends so I am paranoid about it rotting away from the inside as you could imagine.

Don't have the huge experience of 4wding like many on this forum, but finally something I can answer (being a Metallurgical engineer by profession) There is only 1 way of ensuring you don't get rust reoccurring: clean to absolute bare metal, ensure the surface is completely free of any salt, oil ...

Thanks all sounds like it is worth doing but my experiences before with it as some have said is getting rid of it once it's done its job. Had a horrible reaction once and the whole topcoat peeled off, put it down to the converter. Wass only painting a shovel fro the truck so didnt matter but imagine ...

Hey man. Yes i sure did. I hunted around on trademe and went into shops to get new ones quoted up. The cheapest option for me was buying some second hand rola racks off tm and they came with pad type mounts that u rivet to your roof then the rack secures to the clips with allen key bolts. You car ...

Hmmm wonder what that was, apparently hydrochloric acid is good but where the hell you get that I don't know. Last time I tried to buy acid was for tanning animal skins, turns out I didn't know at the time that's what they use for cooking meth I must have sounded real dodgy I like the idea of using ...

Rust is getting at my truck a bit so I'm going to take the barwork and any obvious bits off and give it a paint. Am going to have a sandblasting gun to use for fiddly bits and obviously grinder, sandpaper etc but just wondered what people's experience with rust remover is? e.g. m Is it worth ...

Hey did you get anywhere with this? I am in the same boat and the cheapest online is about $500 from Rhino

Can't find anything on TM to fit, plenty of cheap ones that are suitable for gutters but the fancy ones cost a shitload

Just want something simple I can chuck my surf rods in, they don't fit in the wee truck



edit ... just want some bars don't need a full on rack/cage or anything

I broke one ages ago (rh) and was told by the garage it would be easy to get... now i've got the wof due next fri and they say they can't get one Suzuki have got the lh one in stock for $15 but that's not much help lol Anyone able to help me out? Even a loan so I can get my warrant would be awesome ...
