Off roader my @rse!

[TJG]

Parked at beachy head for the airshow last week, space was a bit short so I thought I'd roll forward until the front wheels touchedthe very low earth mound in front.........Anyone know how to repair a cracked spoiler If you see a Surf swerving all over the road you will know its me dodging fag packets, dog ends, coke cans etc etc.

SPOILER??????????????????

[TJG]

SPOILER??????????????????

No Cracked Spoiler!!!!! It came from nipland with a wacking great airdam at the front and sort of plastic under door trim that makes it a gymnastic feat to get in and out off. Looks good though!

[BUSHWHACKER]

I bet you use some fuel pushing all that air along.

[openback]

just natures way of telling you that they need to come off!

If it's plastic, you can get stuff called 'plastic weld'
It's a bit like araldite, two tubes you mix together.
If the , ahem, 'spoiler' is fibreglass, you'll have to get some resin, hardener and some glass matting or glass tissue, which you can buy in kit form.

Ditch it dude, you should have got a discount as the truck isn't fit for the purpose for which it was sold.

Stuff hanging off the bottom of a 4x4 is dumb. Take it down a rutted greenlane fast, anything left on is OK, then go back and collect all the [rappy bits of GPR and throw them in the bin. Then you have an offroader.

I got an "off roader" the best 4x4xfar, anything that falls off of that is probably not important!

Surf is for transporting dogs & caravan, it is far too pretty to mess up in the mud, it only had 16,000 miles on it when I bought it (got 22 now, must think about an overhaul!). I have a set of sidesteps to fit as the plastic things look really good but are a real pain when getting in and out.

Sounds like some kind of aftermarket 'add-on' you broke there dude. I'd go along Tony's suggestion- the minimal look is best. Loose the sidesteps too!

Is this yet another Surf that requires saving???

i thought half the fun was ripping bits off, getting photographed with them and then straightening them to glue back on!
think i win with the sump bash plate removal!

[BUSHWHACKER]

"Skirts off"? Naughty boy!

Thats what I said to the Mrs by about date No 4. (We were old fashioned in those days. Any earlier would have meant a slap across the chops).

Anyway back to the topic. Ditch the skirt and enjoy giving the Mrs a bunk-up. ( Around here it means helping a member of the opposite sex mount a tall object........................ ...honest guv!).

What like the Oil and the halfshafts Sorry couldn't resist.

Land rover engines - about as oil tight as a 60s Harley Davidson. Still I suppose it means that you change the oil regularly and your drive won't get rusty (or your chassis for that matter).
