hi I am looking at buying a RR classic, the eas has a fault but nobody knows what the fault is , apparently the hardware is all ok just the message isnt getting to the compressor.If I can get it for the right price what would it cost to rip the air bag suspension and put coils all round? I have seen ...

Can anyone tell me what the rules are regarding 4wd access on Ruakaka beach & is it possible to drive across the Ruakaka Estuary at low tide to get to Uretiti beach or would I have to access Uretiti at Tip Road

Can someone give me a ball park figure to have the pump seals replaced on this vehicle, have been offered the truck at a good price but need to know what the costs involved are. How hard are they to get at and replace or iit a job for the experts?

WTF???

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that Bowler might be just the job the day after Wednesday

They seem to be extremely good value for money I know they love petrol but I don't do any city driving except when I go to Auckland once a month to see my grandchildren so what sort of litres per 100k's or mpg could I expect on the open road. I'm thinking about 12 - 13 litres per 100 k's would that ...

I don't think a $300 Kayak would support my considerable bulk

Makes you want to go out & buy a Jeep

Undo the filler plug before the drain plug.

This can save embarrassment due to dumping your old oil, and then struggling to crack the filler bolt to refill the diff again if it's super tight.

Now that's a damn good tip , I would never have thought of that

What are these things like fuel wise , I drive from Ruakaka to Auckland once a month & the rest of the time jut pop to the local shops 2 or 3 times a week

I think Id be on the chain side of the fence if I had the choice, as mentioned they both have good and bad points, but at least a chain will usually stretch and rattle and give plenty of warning before anything serious happens. My old Hilux had 250thou when I replaced the noisy chain, chain turned ...

Just moved here, any particular spots to fish along the beach and what tides/times etc I'm guessing change of light but unsure of incoming or outgoing tide

I remember my Uncle had a Galloping Gertie, a contraption consisting of a hinged "door" flat on its side where the hinge edge was on the seaward side and it would lift to catch the backwash on a shallow beach, then lie flat as waves came in over it - gradually towing your amateur longline 400 yards ...

Thanks guys i think I can cross that one off the list

Yep join the club, theyll ease you into 4wding. you made a good clarifying what you want to use it for and how much you want to pay. Theres a few options in that range. How many seats do you need? Will you be adding anything else to the truck? How heavy is your boat? Only need 4/5seats , 2 most of ...

This has the Mercedes 5 cylinder diesel OM602 engine but I know nothing about Ssangyong Musso's , are they any good? I want a comfy ride that can also go on the beach. so many bloody choices out there I don't know what to get

Here's a plus one for the cambelt My old Defender with a 300tdi motor had a strange history. It was serviced properly and the service records kept in the factory book by the owner that had it before the guy i got it from. It had a cam belt at 186,000 according to the book, and according to the ...
