   Joe S. Looking at the size of that elk’s head relative to your back and assuming you’re not 5’6”, that is a big animal and great set of antlers. Having hauled out moose, I understand the weight...

   Very much a case in point for this, I had to get two heat exchangers for Cummins 6BTA 300Hp a few years ago - Cummins price was close to NZ$5500+ at that point (and this for a basic copper unit, not...

   Mechanic of 25 years here. The Mazda 2.2 diesel is probably the worst engine they've ever made. Seriously bad stuff. They have a habit of hand-grenading at about 120,000km. Avoid at all costs.

   When did the unbraked law change to 750kg max? Always was 2000kg when I was in the industry up until 3 years ago. The unbraked & braked weights that are written on towbars are based on the Aussie...

    I actually thought it was 2500kg but yes. There is no law (unless very recently instated) in NZ that limits unbraked to 750 kg......it is 2000kg. Most vehicle manufacturers recommended unbraked...

    Yep true. Up to 2000kg non braked. 2001-2500kg override indirect braking. 2501-3500kg direct braking (able to be controlled / emergency applied from drives seat) plus a few other requirements. ...

    I'm not sure it has just 750kg (but I am usually wrong ) is the most often quoted "un-braked max weight" by manufacturers of many vehicles so has become a bit of a "defacto" thing?
