  1. only gonna get worse without having a functioning refinery here. unsure about argon, but NZ's CO2 supply came form there, but medical and industrial
  2. VN commodore would stall the pump at 1/3 tan round a bad corner. had to remove fuel line from inlet and give it a shot of air at 120psi to get it spinning again
  3. winds up the volume on the Wuhan War Whistle on trubro cars !!
  4. maybe floating between Timmas and Catlins over next few months, depends on income prospects
  5. drip fed oil burner. max heat obtained from hydraulic fluid/ ATF
  6. did you just google C(o)unt Homo ?
  7. calling me out for age, but you have the kernt logged to time and date................ siccko !
  8. well. apart from hair, you might resemble Count Homogenised !!
  9. run joists 90 degrees so they do not tie into longest span. don't ask drawings..... i can barely write legibly
  10. someone will adjust this for current, if it isn't, but make the 'clearspan' between fixings 3.55m ?, use 190 X45 SG8 at 400mm CRS, connected to 2X 245 X 45 at 2.8m long
  11. looks like a 4" feck-up that needed a wee filla piece
  12. @cletus and if already certified as a flat -deck, does it need re-cert for making it tipping, if no welding to subframe was required ?
  13. whip the box out and check the clutch. sounds more and more like the spigot bearing issue i had
  14. is the clutch operating as it should ? had a spigot bearing fail once and jammed itself in the pressure plate. felt like clutch was releasing, but it wasn't
  15. better use these then....... or get better clutch/gearbag :
  16. unless already done, convert sway bar links from strut to LCA. they steer way nicer when done
  17. lucky !! i had enough for a dogleash out my 30m that wasn't compromised !!
  18. where is the brake on that winch ? reason i ask is, i bought a S/H winch for Scrubby-Scud that came with new dyneema rope (un-spooled), nearly the whole 30m melted by the time i had the drum fully spooled with it, due to internal brake heating drum
  19. just thunked about this.... why disc ? reason i ask is debris failure, as in rock/stone either smashing disc, or getting jammed in caliper, as mounting i 90 degrees from usual fitment. would a drum be such a cumbersome thing, as most mid-commercials used drum on back of transmission
  20. amongst a host of other things on the mid-00's Swifts. wife has 06, piece of crap that should have been immediately sold for profit, not driven to 200K with many niggles
  21. all depends were it done it's mileage. a 130K car from open road use is a better buy than 130K stuck in traffic odo is km's travelled, not engine Kms
  22. yes, they supplied mentioned unit
  23. mighty fine collection of corroded components. recommend dissasembly by any means, and persevere with breaking/stripping fasteners until you replace with new (with copper-cote on all disassembly threads. euro import , by chance ? bet there is other corrosion issues looking at the state of exhaust
