Il be keen to meet some new people and get out and about, trucks at kaiapoi repowers atm getting a new head on it so should have it back ready to go by then.
Im newish to Chch so would just be a sheep

U will be a rich man soon picking them like that. Na no worries thanks for the suggestion, as much as i wanted it to be a cooling/radiator issue i kinda had in the back of my head that im going to be very poor in not too long. Would have been better happening at the start of my holiday when i had ...

Went and saw Hornby radiators and seems to be a head gasket, off to Ricks auto centre i guess

Rangiora is abit of a mish for me but thanks anyway, il give Greg a ring tomorrow and take it to him and see what he thinks, If its the head gasket like u mentioned mudlva which im hoping it isnt but if it is then Ricks auto centre or Summit 4wd seem like the places to go? Anyone had a head gasket ...

yep have checked the dipstick and it looks as it should, cant see any signs of water

Im in Hornby pressy but can still drive it as i topped it up and its not a fast leak, Where abouts are you?
It doesnt seem to be changing the level in the overflow bottle either nor do i see evidence of overflowing or leaking anywhere.
Am hoping its not disappearing inside the engine somewhere

I wont lie to make myself not sound dumb but no i haven't, ha, it was a new cap when i got the radiator though so would have thought it should be fine. If the cap wasnt fine would water evaporate to the extent of a litre a month when i normally only use it on w-ends?

Comes with 6 month warranty and since iv installed it its taken 4-5 months to completely empty, it wasnt taking ...

Yea i cant say i wasnt expecting there to be a problem or two as they are quite cheap compared to ARB/Ironman etc but it worked out pretty well apart from those 2 minor issues. I tried to google and youtube search to see what i can find and found a youtube clip of a guy fitting packers ontop of his ...

Hey all, just fitted a MCC falcon winch bar on my 80 series and 99% of it fitted nicely, just wondering if other people came across the same problems as me though. 1# On the stubs you bolt onto the chassis on the side where 3 bolts go in, the 2 bottom ones are fine but the one up on the angle is ...

Haven't tried any local tracks yet, have heard about waimak and rakaia gorge as being good spots to go but havnt really explored much of chch yet. Im wanting to go with someone else if possible. Am pretty new to the scene so wanting to get a winchbar and winch sorted asap so help me owta the shit if ...

Hey all, im Jake. Moved to Christchurch a couple months ago and have a 1990 80 series land cruiser with a few bits n pieces done to it. Keen to meet some new people who do some 4x4 missions on w-ends etc as for some reason its not as fun on your own. I dont really have any mates down here into ...
