    Hello KiwiPhoenix and welcome, there are a few signed on from NZ. Which of th 750 models have you got?..if th XJ answers aren't here there probly isn't one. :)....and at least check th rear brakes b4 riding it, they can delaminate and cause big problems.

    Kia Ora, I read that it means something to do with good health, but being a Brit (don't hate LOL) it brought back memories of going to the flicks and in between movies those adds would come on. You know, the ones that were for cars, or Jan and Deans engagement plans and they always advertised the drink "Kiaora" along with crisps, ices and chocky bars, "available from the person walking up and down the aisles.
    Funny how a word or a picture can trip old memories.
    Sorry to "jack" your thread, but I had to write it down as it struck me out of the blue.
    Good score on the bits by the way, looking forward to following the re-building progress!


    Cheers, Graham
