Any bearings poking through the front of the housing? Do you need the thickness of a gasket for bearing preload?

Have they got a residual pressure valve in the drum rear master cylinder?

Yes, sometimes I remember about it. I'm almost never over your side of town

@JustHarry was there a gauze under the valve?

I had a hilux in a few weeks back that stopped and wouldn't start again. The fuel gauge had stopped working and was stuck on half, but the tank was empty. Had just enough in the tank to make it seem like it had fuel when you prime it with a hose off

Let me know if ecu is no good, I think I have a backup

Maybe also check the condition of the capacitors in the ecu, make sure none have leaked out onto the board. Ecu is under the dash behind the glove box box. According to that link relay is in there too for a surf, probably the same.

Workmates doing similar dec/Jan with an xl125. I'll borrow/ buy it off him. Also depends if I am able physically

Yes three

You still have a depot, or you're looking for one? It's 50/50 whether I'm riding or driving backup, if I'm driving you're all most definitely welcome to seats from chc.

Yes that

Why don't we just go up Rainbow to Blenheim, Patriarch, Maungatapu, Nelson, St Arnaud, Rainbow. If Molesworth does happen to open then we just turn right instead of left. Accommodation all stays the same. Riding round the sounds bays would be pretty awesome but the logistics is tricky.

Oh yeah I read that, was kinda hoping for specifics. Seems they're doing a lot spread out. Never mind

Do we know which part of the road is closed?

The tanks probably full of diesel bug blocking up the pickup/ strainer
