Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I use Stabil. It is awesome stuff.
Just pour the required amount into the tank.

It snapped the odd automotive grade bolt before I got the hang of it. But then it will also undo some big ass nuts/bolts on fine threads, think Jag front spindle bearing nut or RR wheel bearing nuts :D It cost me $899 in a kit with their 18V 1/2" drill, charger and two batteries, best money I ever ...

That's very Fawkin

At nearly 800mm long, mounting it will be interesting.

Most of the cheap scanners are fairly useless unless you just want to read generic codes. Most manufacturers use generic & make specific codes. This make things interesting. By "euro" do you mean BMW by any chance? These can be a PITA. Find a reputable place with a quality scan tool & get them to ...

Check that the oil hasn't been contaminated. I've seen grooves worn in crank pulleys where the engine was left running in bog holes, which then filled the sump with muddy water, which is then pumped through the engine and wears everything in the engine, so low oil pressure and smoke. ^^ This is ...

Was it running ok previously? If so it's more than likely a blockage somewhere or fuel pressure is too high (About 3 psi is fine). Get a couple of cans of this. http://www.nulon.com.au/products/Aerosols/Throttle_Body_and_Carby_Cleaner/#.TwYi01b4Lcs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It ...

I think the purpose is to keep the sway bar in the factory position to avoid clearance issues with tail shafts etc.

What does that mean?

It's not intended with malice.
It's just, you like English built vehicles that could never rust due to oil leaks, have Prince of Darkness electrics & are just generally unreliable & costly to repair.

Hi All, It's my first time in the Rover section. You guys are a little left of centre ;) Anyhow, to my question for the rover gurus. A friend has a Disco 2 V8 on gas. I'm led to believe these have a tendency to back fire & blow the air box to bits. This has now happened. :x A replacement air box is ...

Subaru uses them in MY10 onwards Liberty and Outback and the new Impreza will have one aswell. They are a bit different as they run a torque converter. No servicing of the box. Oil for life :? Its around $800 for 20l drum. There was a massive increase in economy using the cvt over the old auto 4/5 ...

Depending on quite a few things such as budget, power required, what rpm the power is required etc. There are many options. Here is a link to Edelbrock heads for SBC. As you can see there are many & varied heads for different applications/budget. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/cylheads ...

I think by the time you figured out adequate fixing for a net, it would be simpler to use a proper rigid barrier they are made model specific, mountings are designed to take shock loads, they are easily removed and reinstalled as needed. Basically sometimes done all the figuring out already ...

I had a pair of Hella inserts in my GQ. I found the light pattern was terrible. I replaced them with a set of Narva inserts which had a much better pattern.

TRW used to be absolute crap however, I believe they have improved significantly lately. How lately are we talking here? I have been using them on and off for around 8 years and they have always been pretty good. I now use them over most other brands were possible. The only downside is they are ...

QFM is another brand to look at. Not as pricey as Bendix but of comparable quality.

Castrol make PSF. I don't know the specs though.

Micko

Yeah. After I posted that I thought about it a bit more.

A billet flywheel is really the only option for that kind of use.

Cheers,

Micko

Get a used flywheel and lighten the shit out of it. Because the face of the flywheel isn't used as a friction surface you could bore large diameter holes evenly around it. Take care not to weaken it to much as an exploding flywheel is not Fawking funny. You will have to have it balanced after this ...

GQ is far stronger in the centre.

A very important thing that has been missed is in the case of say a bearing going onto a shaft you need to "ONLY" be hitting the inner race, the opposite if bearing is being knocked into a bore or housing - the outer race only. Many bearings have been fubar'd due to dolly, punch, etc being ...

There are many different grades, all with great performance.
I use 1215 (gray) & 1207C (red).

Best sealer I've ever used.

Is it worth installing an aftermarket temp gauge instead?

I too purchased 2 of Hozee's "best cheap chinese cv's" as spares. At that time they were $55.00 each. They sat in the shed for about a year. Eventually I broke a genuine unit. I replaced it with the chinese unit. It lasted 40 minutes total driving time of which about 20 minutes was in 4wd low. I ...

I run my snorkel head facing the windscreen. It is approximately 130 degrees from facing forward. I run it like this as a compromise between avoiding hang ups and disturbing air flow. I have no scientific data to prove if it works or not. All I know is it drives the same as facing forwards and I ...

If the ECU got wet, there is a good chance you have let the smoke out! Pull it out, open the case ( be careful not to touch the internals) and let it dry in the sun for a few hours. Put it back together and install back in the truck. If still no spark, ECU is toast! Sometimes ECU's can be repaired ...

It is in a caravan. The caravan has female cig lighter sockets, with heavy cabling running to the battery. The fridge also has heavy-ish wiring running to this type of socket: http://www.allabout12volt.com.au/cat04/plug2pin.gif Im going to cut if off any replace for male cig lighter. Fridge will be ...
