New Zealand auto electrician

[Desmond Downs]

Hi, I'm an automotive electrician living in New Zealand. I was doing a search on forums for auto electricians and found this site. At the moment I'm looking for advice on oscilloscopes and hopefully will find some answers here
This is my photography website for those interested.

Hi. Welcome to the crazy house.

This is prodominantly a UK based forum for domestic wiring, but there is a section for auto electrics.
And I don’t think there’s much difference the world over. 12v dc, as normal. Most of your stuff is Japanese, right.

I’ve got family out there, visited last year. Impressed by all the old cars still going about. They don’t rust so badly as they do here.
Old MK1 ford escorts and capri’s....

I ended up here because each search of "automotive electrical forums" brought me to this site There is a lot of Japanese stuff here - I've been here 17 years from South Africa. Apparently a while ago cars were really expensive so people did up old Morris Minors and the likes for normal travel - then NZ dropped import duties on Japanese cars and there was a flood of cheap used Japanese cars. There are lots of other brands, unfortunately lots of [troublesome] European cars too.

I rarely get out of Belfast never mind Ireland so I doubt I'll get to many of those places!

Nope There some weird "gypsy" style motorhomes around here as well though.
