Hi All,
Day2 of my Land Cruiser Club Experience! My Troopy is being shipped down to me from the Gold Coast and wanted to start doing some reading and getting my mechanical brain working again (what there is of it). So I have two questions:
Firstly on Manuals and recommendations - I don't mind paying for them (if someone has free copies, then woohoo!) but was just looking for a decent PDF Version for the iPad and Good Old Fashioned Paper version. Gregory's looks like the go for the latter, and wondered if anyone had tried out ebay for the former? Saw this and looks fine, well, fine apart from the lack 78 model...any thoughts and suggestions? If this is has been asked a million times (which I'm sure it has) and is elsewhere on the forum then if you could point me in the right direction I'll happily totter off there.
Secondly was around mechanics in Melbourne, are there any great recommendations out there? I'd be keen to learn as much as possible so if you know of any night-time mechanical courses groups or teams or workshops or friends or tea-ladies are running I'd be all ears. Again I don't expect anything for free, but other than changing a few filters, oils and tyres and spark plugs (my old V8 Landy) I'm keen to learn more to manage my new 4.2 Liter 1HZ.
Thanks all!
Richard
