Hi 6 pot,
Tell us more !
I keep toying with the idea of a Pinzy . I had a couple of Haflingers many years ago.
The Haflingers were amazing off road but just too slow on the road to be practical for anything other than short journeys.
What have you got? A 4x4 or a 6x6? Petrol or diesel? Any photos?
How are you finding it so far?
Cheers.

This is it



Click image to enlarge



I am looking for parts book user hand book and the workshop manual.
The gear lever is very stiff it can be hard to change gear is this normal ? it has only done 900 miles.
Should the air suspension on the back be automatic ? there is a switch on the dash that turns on the air conpressor and it does slowly lift the back up. On the back axle there is a thing that looks like a hight switch but the compressor has not come on on its own.
There will proberley be lots more questions
Cheers

If you can track him down, it'd be worth speaking to a guy called Hesketh Emden. We bought our Desert Wolf trailer from him many moons ago but he was also importing Pinzgauers and was a mine of useful information. Darren

I'm pretty sure you have to press the switch for the suspension to work. The lever type thing on the rear axle is a load sensing valve for the rear brakes (More weight, better braking performance)

The gear lever is odd. It's like a bowl of soup but tight to get in gear. And makes a special click like an mx5. I remember it being hard to change.
