  1. same set-up as GT4, but different ratios are the 2 versions of 4WD carib. need Raghead to join up as he obsessed, but 1600 and 1800 are different, unsure if transfer ratios the same. pre-ABS models have lockable centre/transfer.
  2. liteace springs to mind, as needed short unit to avoid manifold in a KP60 . may only be 5/8, though
  3. best get the Raghead to sign up as a member, and not a lurker. he has stock of some very absorbant material for wiping up the foam, and the dribble from both sides of Simpson's mouth !!
  4. Taiwan has/had better cred than most China made................. once upon a time Taiwan ROC and HongKong made good-ish gear
  5. Paul, is it only upper balljoint that is binding ? if so, can you raise the inner, upper mounting point to flatten the the upper arm ?
  6. damn near thought it was today, and was expecting tail-end charlie on a blind corner over Dansey's. looked like some other crew out for a postie bike run ? unless graded prior, some of the steeper sections are corrugated to buggery , and will be a handfull.
  7. 2 years i believe, may have been one . work had a import petrol Navara that needing re-compliance due to the timeline, but the regs had change between compliance tests and needed a 'sniffer' jammed up it's bum........had to lean it to the point of melting plugs and pinging to pass !!
  8. applies to rusty 'self-contained shit-in-the-bushes vans' as well........ i believe
  9. a crimped lug attached to frame of panel, and/or the roof/ground ali mounting frame (often sandwiched) to a cable to a driven earth stake, i could be wrong, but the charge controller is earthed to same stake........... if am wrong about coupling the panel and controller earths.... best some tell me, at that is how i was told to do it
  10. usually panels/frame and charge controller are earthed
  11. not forgetting either the time allocated for arguments/Barrying at both WOF inspection and potentially re-checks
  12. if Class EB exemption still valid, remains valid at change of ownership. if not on hold, you may have to 'back-pay' to get EB updated
