Seeking some help.  I've got a 1909 Renault and I need a mechanic to give it some love.  The car is in good working order and has been beautifully restored but it needs some work on the brakes, and new WOF and a few other things.  Does anyone know a mechanic in Akld who's comfortable working with a car of this age?

go see joel at bishops in the city

mad flex 

have you still got this?

Yeah, I think once it's not our sole tow vehicle we will probs do something fun with it. Don't want to tinker with the only reliable car we have though.

 

Suzuki Grand Vitara. Really nice aside from the gremlins so hoping they can sort it.

diesel? sold mine just before lock down..... would just completely shut off and die randomly was a  rank angle sensor... really liked that car but the seals on the back doors and windows started leaking badly and the sills were starting to rust so I did what I could and sold..

Update-less picture..

So this thing isn’t really meeting our towing needs (who would have thought).. having to go into second or first gear to get up hills when we’re towing a light trailer with motorbikes and tent on the roof was getting really tedious so we decided we would upgrade.. ended up buying a relatively modern, capable manual diesel which has proven itself to be nothing but unreliable.. have owned it since oct and only had 3 weeks at most use out of it (fortunately it was bought from a dealer so we aren’t forking out to get it fixed at least) 

Just got the new car back last night from the mechanic.. updated the RUCs and Reg, filled it up with diesel ready for our camping trip this weekend and then on my drive home.. limp mode! Blargh!

 

 Good thing we’ve still got the trusty ol’ HRV to rely on. 
 

So as it sits, nothing much cosmetic has changed on the honda since the last update.. we do have the paint but it’s yet to be painted. We just ended up matching the yellow because we thought with getting a new car, we’d just flick the honda off.. looks like we’re never selling though, it’s just too damn reliable and owes us nothing.

what's the new car? 

so this project stalled for a little while, the fork seals didn't work.... I have been looking overseas and when this popped up in Israel I bought it ha just need a r/h

hello my apprentice dumped a load of fill and managed to lose the tail gate latch... we've been quoted 1200 bucks for a new one can anyone point us In the direction of a cheaper alternative please...

it's the passenger side one

Auckland boys will def do a ride locally if we can't do kape.

Lemme know if you want in and when we have an actual plan will advise. Will not include recovery vehicles or any real organization, more 'meet here and we're gonna have a BBQ (2m distance between sausages*) here tonight' type situation.
