the simple fact that people can back out of/ enter their garage during darkness, and not pick up on the fact that one headlight has blown, truly fecken astounds me. what other obvious things do not compute behind their retinas

possibly. have not decided our plans before/after event, but Kaikoura and west coast are on the radar

registered and paid x 2. unsure if Raghead/Tommoose has actually joined here yet......... or just a fecken stalking misfit !!

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.

sport or Std imp ?

liteace springs to mind, as needed short unit to avoid manifold in a KP60 . may only be 5/8, though

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 !!

Taiwan has/had better cred than most China made................. once upon a time Taiwan ROC and HongKong made good-ish gear

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 ?

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.

isn't Italy, a suburb of Beijing ?

mobile fishing lodge ??

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 !!

applies to rusty 'self-contained shit-in-the-bushes vans' as well........ i believe

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

usually panels/frame and charge controller are earthed

not forgetting either the time allocated for arguments/Barrying at both WOF inspection and potentially re-checks

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

have you tried the local Toyota dealership ? many items are genuinely cheaper than aftermarket.... or importing from outsource suppliers of genuine

yamaha made heads for toyota, so quite relevant !!

Sheldon Rush is the Toyota guru in Oamaru

simply remove ceramic 10A fuse and fit 15A MCB for welding duties

was advised that start-up could be as much as 9X rated power, so may go petrol re-power as long powercords are an arse .

has a query. re-mounting tidying up my concrete mixer, current motor 1/4Hp 1425rpm, non-cap.start....... will not run on 1000w continuous invertor if i replace this motor with 1/2Hp twin cap start....... will the capacitors allow the invertor to run it ?

was there a decent turn out for this event ? went for a quick squizz at the Muster in G-Town, had a decent display for a new event... 200-ish car they reckon, but only the Ford Cortina Club had a decent club dislplay
