Hi All

[OllieNZ]

Hi All
My Name is Ollie Im originally from New Zealand. Ive been in the UK for about a year now. Just bought my first Surf as I needed bigger family wagon but mainly wanted to get back into off roading. My last proper off roader was a 1985(I think) 70 series SWB Landcruiser LX5 Ive never seen another like it. It had coils all round and the 2.4td(one for the experts). Would like to give some green laning a go and if anyone knows of good 4x4 parts place (need a snorkel and a few other bits) in the Oxford-Swindon area or online that would be great.

Thanks

Ollie

Welcome mate. If you able to fit odd bits and bobs then i would say the internet would be your best friend. Just get any bots you want delivered to you. If you get stuck on anything then people on here will help guide you through things if need be. Loads of info if you use the search feature. May have to trundle through pages and pages but its all there!

Im not to bad mechanicly my background is in aircraft maintenance and aerospace composites with a bit of welding thrown in. I would appreciate any direction in the way of good online retailers.

Thanks for the welcome all

Thanks for the links all.
Roughtrax look good thanks James
Picking it up on Sunday so I will be able to get a decent look at and see what I need to get on top of (if anything) It looked all sound, well serviced and a brand new set of BFG mudders the only neg was rust along the bottom of the drivers door. Also being a surf (and the japanese on the sun visor) im assuming its an import, is the odo in km or miles?

Thanks

Ollie

PS where can I get an english version of what it says on the sun visor?
