Stupendous trip honestly

No gopro but tunnel pics..

I'm leaving now from Dargaville.. see ya in the morning 

I was kicked out of the caravan at awakino so wouldn't mind a room there because at the moment i'm sharing with 3 others across the road at the post office i think..

Might be best to PM

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..

@morkster will you be bringing a trailer or towing ours?

Just need to check the widths for a particularly narrow bridge crossing 

 

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:

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.

Sounds good man, lock it in!

 

If anyone else is driving a trailer down with bikes on that wants to follow the group along the route that would be sweet, 2 support vehicles should be able to cope with anything that gets thrown at us.

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

^I don't own one but i'm really interested in a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV so that's what i'd be looking at.. anyone on here know much about them?

Today in Dargaville

Bought this '97 Disco in Jan '07 with 107k km on the odo.. been an excellent strong vehicle replaced two condenser fans, radiator, ignition switch, tyres, battery, and LOTS of petrol
