Cool. The booster has a ‘silencer’ or ‘filter’ that is foam around input rod. Chances are when the new pads were put in or the brakes bled and the pedal was pushed all the way down the foam has fallen apart. If the brakes are working as they should,then the booster is sad. If you get a hard pedal or poor stopping performance, the booster is dead. Either way, I would recommend replacing the booster.

Sounds like a sad booster to me.

I wasn’t until you reminded me.

Out, soz.

Usually you can tell if engine oil or coolant is leaking, because it’s wet and not an invisible gas.

They may not even need a resistor.

I think you would use the one in the left or the three on the right , but not all. Factory fitted steering wheel controls (in Toyota at least) Have one output. Each button has a different resistor, so the stereo sees a different voltage for each button and knows what to do.

That reminds me of the time I was doing a WOF on a Land Rover. Did a 30kph hard brake test, pedal went to the floor and Landy kept rolling, handbrake stopped it eventually. A hard brake line burst open length ways.

See you monkeys tonight

Wow, just like old times.

Those guys will make you one with a receiver if that’s what you want.

@Bling try these guys to compare a local price https://www.towbar.co.nz

Sounds like the starter brushes are worn out. Hitting the starter with a hammer shocks it into starting, but you only get a few hits before the brushes are completely done. You can replace just the brushes.

Knock on wood quick or you’ll jinx yourself

Rear seat can be removed and pass a wof

@KKtrips can you pin that stuff in tech articles?

Nice dorts. I hope you’ve found what was rattling around at every corner.

I’m not sure. Probably a percentage. You can get them in different heights.

You could use one of these under the spring https://www.adenstyres.co.nz/products/universal-spring-spacers-10-15mm

Got the door back on, lined up and glass in. (back door is ajar) To get the window out, you need to remove the quarter window first. Installation is reverse of removal. Of course, I forgot this, but got there.

Worth the wait. Sweet looking Ute.

Thinner layer of filler, a few days later this time sand, bog, repeat... Close enough for 10 days before Wagnats and seal her up with epoxy primer It will need a bit more work, but at least it’s good enough to go out of the shed.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to post this cock up. A bit embarrassing. First time I have used 2 part primer and bog that’s not newtech. Start of January I mixed up too much epoxy primer and slapped it on way too thick. Info sheet said to add filler after 25 minutes. I thought that was a bit soon, so waited a couple of hours before I mixed up too much bog and slapped that on. Checked on it a bit later... FAIL After a week of feeling sorry for myself I ground it off again. and put on a thinner layer of primer.

I can’t see the pics
