Thanks guys I'll give them a shout. Always better to get recommendations!

Hey guys, can anyone advise where the best place to get a tow bar fitted in Wellington region is? Preferably Hutt Valley but can get to CBD too. Cheers Mike

Well, if anyone is interested, I got 4 of 215x45x17 Hankooks for $656, booked in next Saturday for $80 balanced and fitted. Compared to the same tyres from 2 local shops, I'm saving $145.

Thanks, will ring around at the weekend when I get chance.

$880 at a store, $680 delivered, then I need fitting. How much is fitting these days? Less than $200 I presume. Just wondering if anyone has used the business before?

Anyone bought from http://www.buytyresonline.co.nz before? Looking to get some new 215x45x17's and they are $100 a tyre cheaper than the depots for the Hancooks. Cheers Mike

thanks for the feedback, will give them a call and see what they can do.

Can anyone recommend either a good car valet place in Wellington CBD, or a decent mobile service that does Upper Hutt? Need to get an interior shampoo as something spilled out of the shopping bag one day and soaked in (milk?) - now it's not too nice! Ta Mike

One of these to start with: http://www.ruf-automobile.de/en/RUF-RGT-8.04a2e.php

Thanks for getting back to me. Looking at the time stamp of your post I was actually on my way to Mendoza in Upper Hutt to pick the car up. Took the guy 20 seconds to re-thread the hole with a tap and die set! Cheers

So I thought the ProRack was easy to fit to a 2003 Legacy wagon, but 1 of the 4 bolts holding the mounts in won't go in. I've tried all 4 bolts in the 1 hole in the roof rails, but it just feels like it's trying to cross-thread and it really stiff. Does anyone know of somewhere (Wellington region) I can maybe get the hole re-drilled/threaded to get rid of the problem? I need the car for a road trip in a week, so somewhere that can do it quickly and while I wait preferred. Or even another solution? Cheers Mike

*bump* Anyone with a roof rack for rent? ;D

Hey guys, Seeing as I swapped out my 96 Legacy for an 03 model, I'm left without the ability to host the roof box. Does anyone have either a roof rack for an 03 that they want to swap for a roof bar one (nearly new), or even one I can borrow for a week in April? I'm in Upper Hutt so local peferred, but will travel to the big smoke of Wellytown. Happy to leave a deposit etc. Cheers Mike

Is there anyway to get these Japanese units to work in NZ? Seems a shame to rip it all out if it just needs some software. Cheers Mike
