Thanks for that - sounds interesting. I won't be back for a few weeks. I'll see if he still has it when I get back. seems worth a look.

You think you can get any pictures and details Makeitfit ??

Thanks for the replies guys. @ Stinka - I had considered the 3.0 T2 but the fuel consumption is just too high for a daily user - I need around 40 to the gallon - and considering I don't plan on doing any major off-roading then it is overkill. I had the T2 here because many roads are no more...

Well my time in Iceland is nearly done and I am on my way back to the UK and so the T2 has to go :(. It has been a good bus out here but a bit of a money pit as I had nowhere to work DIY. So I am looking at my options for the UK. I had considered getting a 4k T2 and having a grand spare for...

Welcome onboard :clap

Welcome to the club - it is REALLY friendly here

Awesome pictures - very nice

Lovely picture of a good day out by the looks. Miss home sometimes.

Yes - take care taking them out ...... This is the voice of someone who currently has a cylinder head at the machine shop to get one drilled out and heli-coiled :doh:doh. I didn't take them out mind you ......

I'm looking into it :-D - waiting for him to come back with the numbers - will ping him today.

I have seen quite a few posts asking for bits and pieces which people can't find. Just a suggestion, but if you are desperate I can possibly find stuff here. Terranos are very common here and I know of at least two Nissan breakers plus another guy now who specialises Nissan. Shipping isn't...

Yep - I just had a quote for a Lokka - shipped to Iceland was $610 AUS which is £415 ish so probably in the region of 380-400 to UK

"Did the mechanic (who is being so good to you) snap the glow plug off through his incompetence ? And you're paying for it ?" Who can say if it was incompetence or "just one of those things". It's been in there over 7 years, steel in an ally head ..... yes I guess things could have maybe been...

All sorted, Milners bits including shipping to the frozen north saves me over £200 and The dealer has been as good as and given me nearly 20% discount on all the labour. It's just time now - walking sucks at this time of year.

Thanks rustic - didn't think Milners would have but they do and the BIG saver is the head bolt kit - Nissan want £225 and Milners want £34 :eek::clap gaskets didn't work out massively different with shipping. This is a big help though. :bow

Hi chaps, Ok - day ruined yesterday. Car is in with dealer to get the glow plugs changed (all knacked). Phone call to say one has snapped, and head has to come off to be heli-coiled. :doh :( I KNOW the head gasket kit is going to be an arm and a leg here. Does anyone know a good...

Sorry - wasn't clear - thats the arches etc. I wait for the quote with interest

Ahh ok - I thought it could go up 2" but I was confooozed for a bit there thinking you couldn't go anywhere. We shall see what he comes up with on prices - I think he mentioned 120,000 ISK for the body kit which = £620 :eek: but with the crisis maybe he will re-think it. Also no price is...

Thanks for that Pete, Mind if I grab some photos of the steering mods to ask for comments from the mod shop ? Met the guy today - seems straight enough - the front yard was full of things on 38's and a Troll on 42's (I think). He made it sound very simple - said the gearing could cope and...

I have been e-mailing both Lokka in Aus about diffs and suspensions and Fjallasport here in Iceland about lift kits. Replies to date are copied below just for interest really:- Fjallasport "We can supply you with all the parts you need to modify your T2 to 35" tires. You need to lift it 100mm...
