Hello from New Wellington member

Post by lownslow »

Oh hi

Thought I better join up seeing as I meet a few of you over the weekend in Rally Woods and am keen to getting my land rover running reliable and coming along to a few trips.

Live in Brooklyn, have a S2A, Pajero and enjoy playing on quads

From this weekend (Mike and Reece)

My tow car and mikes quad of fun

Try drive this when I can afford / have time to fix so dont get to carried away with 4wd mods as between this and the house i dont have much time or funds left.

This man likes to go tramping in flippers and to have his undies ripped of by snap straps (true story)

Bannanas

Big fan of central Otago and try get down there each year. Spotted this down there few trips back that I thought was quite neat.

A bad line / un post worthy pic really

Newly aquired s2a with 202/186 . . . . someone on here might recognise it, or have originally built it? Need to get a Stromberg carb kit if anyone recomends anywhere to get them? shes leaking like a siv. Will try BNT when i get a chance.

Rover now has new coil, plugs, cap, rotor and points and she fired up fine no worries. took her around red rocks and flooded like crazy so need to get a carb re build kit and then should be good to go again :P

Just for mike haha . . . liked the idea of timber for minimal conductivity max DIY.

And fitted one of these to each guard which were going great guns and would have been ideal for night driving until they both popped . . . hmm wonder why

Found some replacement bulbs these h3 ones;

(same as what it had) are there any special wiring requirements for these? Resistor or anything or should putting 12V through a relay be fine?
