Need to sell off some of my rovers if you're interested? Have the dirty dozen (V12 s1 rover) and my 2 door RR on the chopping block

But it's not a LR !!! I stopped by his boat the other day and he wasn't home, most likely "tramping" in the bush wishing he had a 4wd :lol: Do you remember you guys going up hells bells? Pretty cool truck!! Don't you worry Mike, I still have 4x Land Rovers :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Yep was one of the ...

Hey well it works! Gonna pull the cab off and do some panel and paint at some stage to tidy it up a bit but keen to go anytime atm

If you want to come down to Tauranga for a thrash let me know. BOP land is a lot of fun at moment. Spent the Monday there doing skids in the 40 Yes definitely keen! Itching to get out in it again. One of the lower links broke a few weeks ago and snapped the bottom of a shock and damaged the other ...

yea doing a great job of breaking it so far though

Awesome. Every so often I do wonder about peoples projects from days gone by. From what I hear theres a lot sitting around in sheds collecting dust! Have also seen a few projects from people on here in the past come out of the woodwork in one form or another (often with jungle gyms welded to the ...

Hey all, Thought I might throw up an update on this rig. A few months ago I was chatting to Jafa and the subject came up that he wanted to part with the Jalopy as living on a boat isn't great for workshop space. Couldn't resist having a nosy and couldn't say no to the opportunity :mrgreen: 20210212 ...

Yes the locking housing has an extra cut out in it to fit the locking mechanism and 2 studs in a different spot from memory. Can mod non-locking housing to fit locker easy enough. Cant remember if there is a gap if a non-locking head is put back in but could fill with welder and grind back worst case

Hi, Bit hard to tell from the video but sounds like it it coming from the top rather than the bottom. Maybe timing chain tensioner gone? Either way I wouldn't send it to the wrecker. Worth a reasonable amount of money still and those M series engines are dirt cheap (as they come in swifts also ...

Sorry don't know much about terranos (not my cup of tea), but the shuddering you described is the torque converter lockup. There is a product called lubeguard shudder fix which instantly solves the problem (around $20 or $30 from memory). I was recommended it as one of my old safaris had that issue ...

Sounds like a 40 body on a series 1 chassie powered by a Audi V8 making 800hp with 16in of travel....

Haha not quite, just one Im doing a partial resto on for a sunday cruiser

Hi all, does anyone happen to have any or know of any 40 series cruiser body parts floating around? looking for a set of doors (late) and hardtop mainly, but need a few other bits and bobs too

Hi,

Im trying to track down a 46rh auto from an early V8 ZJ Jeep if anyone has one kicking around?

Thanks.

Anybody been up to Vandy road recently/know if theres still problems up there?

I have one that was imported by MCC (although they stopped bringing them in). One thing that I have found out is most of the tents in NZ are all supplied by the Chinese, and usually all from one company (Longroad campers is one of them). The difference is how the NZ supplier has specced the tent ...

Hey Steve, good to see you're still rocking the landy lifestyle and not gone back to dirty hiluxes and isuzu's :mrgreen: From what I can tell the main harness is different so going manual to auto is a bit more difficult than going the other way. Some info here https://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-2 ...

Bump for anyone else looking to do this. My pump started leaking badly after fueling up in Rotorua a few weeks ago so had a go at replacing the top seal. I got the top seal and throttle shaft O ring from Simms Diesel in Auckland for $9incl gst. Info in here is pretty good, the only thing is I marked ...

You can, however that will only give the temperature of cyl no 1 and not the entire system. I would recommend installing it just before the turbo inlet for the most accurate reading

What are peoples opinions on GPS databases for 4wd tracks in NZ? e.g. https://www.4x4explorer.co.nz/ Is it a good resource or do you think it will end up as a resource for all the 4wd muppets to rip up all the tracks? Interested to hear peoples opinions as to whether they think its a good resource ...

I have had a bit of a rethink about this project and am seriously considering paying someone to fit the engine and transmission and get it certed. Yes i know it is a big call. I rang the guy who owns Mercworxs just out of Tirau the other day for a rough idea of price and he told me $6k which isn't ...

Sent you a pm about power steer

Im not trying to throw water on your fire, but dont waste your time with a td5. It has been done but they are rather problematic engines which would need a lot of work to fit for rather mediocre results. If you're going to spend the time/money swapping go for a BMW m57 diesel engine. Heaps of power ...

Holy grave dig!

I had set it up with an auto box out of a fwd swift

Anyone after a set of 31" silverstones? Great size for the smaller trucks such as suzukis or daihatsus or surfs etc. All 4 have 11-13mm of tread. Selling as I also have a set of Simexes and don't need both :mrgreen: $700 to anyone on here. Wheels not included https://scontent.fakl4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v ...

Haha those are both rather expensive options! I have a good 3.9 in my 110 hicap I'm likely to pull out and put that in the rangie instead

I just tell Rex at LR spares what I want and it turns up the next day (unless it has to come in on next stock order)

Too easy. if you're looking for ideas on what you need the britpart and bearmach catalogs are a good start

Well its had a bit of a miss on startup for the last few weeks that went away after a couple of minutes of driving. Assumed it was a leaky valve stem or injector or something. Wouldnt fire up #2 cylinder so replaced the plugs and same deal. Checked ignition parts and it was sparking at the plug so ...

looks good mate ..............................you with a light right boot ............... :D Haha its gotten a bit lighter to make the cheese inside the diffs last 8) Took the old girl down to the farm in the weekend to do a bit of donkey work. Super handy for shifting things around with the winch ...
