Re: How to Tune Stromberg carbs?

If you want to post images to the forum, you need to upload them to the internet elsewhere first, eg to an image sharing site such as Flickr - they then appear on the forum by means of typing in their image code from that site - it's not possible, unfortunately, to upload images to this forum direct...

Re: Scratching my head - Headlamp issue.

The wire carrying current to your dipped beams has to split somewhere near the front of the engine bay between the two lamps - find the connector block and check the connections there.

Re: HELLO and some Pictures of our Stage 1

Cool number plate! Very cool vehicle!! How come it's in such pristine condition? Didn't the NZ Army ever take it out of its box?? Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Re: Hello/S1 Rebuild

So where's the steam engine going then? Seriously, lurve the tank - so much more cool than lpg - sort of steam punk meets petrol head. But what I'm really waiting to see is the first Land-Rover in space.

Re: Another from Australia

Snap!

(PS I just sold my 2.25 which I've owned for 22 years, so I reckon that now makes me a fully qualified Stage 1 obsessive)

I don't suppose he cares but, in response to Kiwistage1V8's comments above, I would like to come to the defence of map('Oscar the Grouch')1275. I may be sad but his posts are currently my main and best form of entertainment and I always look out for them especially - I may even be learning something...

Shame! Why would you destroy a beautiful, magnificent, rare old Stage 1 Station Wagon to put its bits in some 88?? Well, what answer did you expect on the Stage 1 forum?! :cry:

On flickr you need to click on the share tab above your photo, then on 'Grab the HTML/BBCode, select BBCode and choose the size you want the picture to be, then copy and paste the code shown (it will be very long) to your compose box on this site. You may have to check you have BBCode switched on on...
