Thread: Urgent help required blowen clutch in wanaka

I know this isn’t a firearms issue but putting it here to get more exposure

My brother (from Auckland) is currently on a camping tour round the South Island with his wife and two kids
He has a major issue in that the clutch
In his late (ish) model ford ranger has let go in wanaka
He has limped it to a local camp ground for the night but he says is dangerous to drive so can’t go any further

Is there any mechanics that anyone knows who can help out a family in need on short notice
My brother is very mechanically minded and his farther in law is a mechanic
So he understands it’s a major and they might be stuck for a few days he said he can limp it round town to get it somewhere if required but can’t go far

Please pm me if you can help with anything and I will put you in touch

Cheers

Ask Tahr,he loves Ford Rangers.Closest Ford agent garage would be Queenstown i think.

Alpine Auto Centre. They're a Toyota dealership, also Repco agent, but should be well capable of sorting it out. Whoever he find's, it's not going to be cheap.

I would send you to tow him, but it might pull the arse out of your Nissan.

Is the dude a member of the Automobile Association? if not - he should be . They would get his vehicle to an approved repair shop for him.
