Can we salvage parts and put them on Trade Me?

[badnuz]

depends on wether you have a BFW!!! (big f**n winch)... and prob a digger too i would imagine...

[Gaz_n_Paj]

I wonder if the car has recovery hooks??

I have a piece of string 1.5meters long and recovery hooks..

Ha ha, I have got my priorities right. 4x4 meeting today, pig hunting tonight, last minute maintenance on safari tomorrow for following weekend, and 4 wheel drive trips the next 2 weekends in a row, Whanga Rd next weekend, and hopefully Te Aroha the following one. You coming on either of these trips mate....................Nooooo.

Great afternoon thanks all and it does appear something broke..

Battery light was on since I left the mud puddles, seems the alternator wasn't\isn't charging so JUST made it home on battery, couldn't use indicators or breaks or my lights died


Some other light is on as well on the dash board, buggered if I know what so will get the alternator rebuilt during the week and worry about the other light when I find out what it's for..

Can someone post pictures of my triumphant failure of the mud hole?

[Jerry]

alternator is dead, take it out and take it to a place called nappos in the hutt to get looked at and fixed, not sure where this is exactly, taz01 and Reece do......

Sorry I couldn't make it on the weekend. Had fuel issues. Sorted now.

Got in touch with a young fella I know has a tractor closeby and we pulled half a car out of the bog. Really don't know what else is still in there but will still need some care in the area as there was a bit of body and floor pan ripped off the remains we pulled out. Euan, when we were down there talking about a winch and pulling it out... This young guy had the tractor up off the front wheels and used the hydraulic bucket on the back to move the whole weight of the tractor up and down against the suction to even move it intially.
