Very impressed, so thorough, thank you^

Interesting point there^ I'll most likely bring this as a support vehicle is 4wd.. Am thinking on bringing some basic tools, first aid kit, salvage ropes/strops, petrol can, and water too..

I'll tow yours please.. is it standard flat 7 pin plug? Does it have a reasonable length of cable (wondering if i need to bring an extension or not). Cheers

I had a '78 1600 sport with black decals/badges

When i booked on the 7th Aug at Awakino Hotel all they said they had left was the caravan so i said sweet that'll do.. Alexander Motel Taumaranui was no problems. Where do we meet on the Friday morning?

This may or may not help you but look at the diagrams on the first page here: https://www.ausrotary.com/viewtopic.php?t=33676 I used one of them when i did my rx2.. Bottom line is B+ post to battery+, Sensor to battery+, and Light to charge indicator and ignition (through relay). And two 6amp diodes on light circuit to stop power flow out.

Done. Thank you. Fuck yeah

I am exited to offer myself and support vehicle (either 97 v8 disco or 21 mahindra pikup) for the trip if suitable? Please let me know if i'm acceptable and i will go ahead and book and fill out form..

Hi, could someone please tell me if a hood/head lining is required for a wof? Reason i ask is i need to fix the leaking sunroofs in a s1 Disco and at the very least i need to lower the lining, but i'm thinking of removing it as it's a bit rough anyway.. thanks

^ yes phosphoric acid needs to be washed off with water or meths before it dries

Sweet.. wrap them now

Anecdotal story here; i had an rx2 a while back that had an og copper brass oil cooler in it.. anyway i put an aluminium one in just to try, and the water temp (ie engine temp) rose. I put the brass one back on and back to normal.

Try getting a big ass OEM one from something you know will work? Yes the last copper brass rad i bought out of oz (via trademe) was 1100$

All that mucking around you should just get a big brass and copper radiator. They work so much better.

I sold that Jag.. I'm probly out now Thanks tho,

Thanks. I'm in Dargaville

Could i come along please? With my Jag.. is it oldschool enough?

I liked it better standard height.. Sorry, please delete this post if it offends. I'm obviously too old these days.

Sucks when 'professionals' work on your car and fuck it up for ya :-/

I thought 6 and 12 o'clock movement was wheel bearings.

On my rx2 it was a different gearbox (s1 rx7) that fucked it up. You can get different speedo drive gears for the s1 box (they are different colours). Bumpstart on ausrotary has a tech thread on it.

What's your experience been with non-rubber bushings, like the one's you've fitted to your lower wishbones etc.? My experience with that type of bushing is they don't last. I had some nolathanes dry rot and fall to bits in my xr8. I'm pretty sure all the oem rubber bushings are still available.

Atom Fasteners have come through for me in the past.

What the hell happened there? U-turn or skids or.. the car that hit it must have been motoring tho :-/

Should have got 555
