While they fixed that we went to sort out the electrical issue... unable to work it out we towed it about three quarters of the way out when it dawned on the owner... shutdown wiring on the injector pump.. bypassed the wiring plug and she fired up.. we are all mobile again! (Thank god cos my truck wasn't liking the 3 tonne it was pulling up hill!)
As for the cost of this recovery you are all thinking about... well it cost him NOTHING!why you ask? cos Kiwi4x4 don't charge for recoveries, we do it because we have mud running through our vanes... and we enjoy doing what we do!
Cheers for the help today guys even though it wasn't my truck being recovered, it shows the comrade we have within the Wellington area and we are always willing to get anyone out of the shyt.
If taz01 charged every truck ive seem him recover he could probably retire
