re '99 are the worst ( read s1) got better when BMW took over.

Try pre '94....... , a big statment from a D2 owner.........

Through the Powers of the World Wide Web and Ebay I managed $811 :lol: for my Genuine Alloy Rodeo Bull Bar. Which now pays for my ARB colour coded winch bar..................... :D Cheers Tony well bugger me....there is a sucker born every minute :roll: , but good for you bud :armsup: well done

I have a Holden Alloy Bull Bar on my 04 LT Rodeo. I will be getting rid of it very soon and was curious whats it worth on the 2nd hand market. It will come complete with the genuine fog lights (as the ARB one wont support them) Also I will be getting rid of the genuine rear step, LT Model crome etc ...

My two cents. I had an S1 disco and it was the greatest piece of crap i have ever owned. Admittedly, as said here, it was easy to drive offroad due to its size and visibility and was very comfortable. If it wasn't always breaking down i would have kept it but it didn't make it between services ...

What about ...

Any 6 stud rim will fit off any 4bie... just check the offset of the rim. As long as they are similar you should be right. Check on E Bay there have been a few sets of rodeo wheels going cheap Thanks for that, as it turns out I bought a Brand new set of CSA Stameped's 16x7 for $600, fitted ...

G'day All, Thankyou very much for all your advice, contacts & comments. Ive decided that Im would not be happy knowing Ive got a repaired rim, but worse if something went wrong while my wife was driving. Plus not Legal in Vic to use alloy welded repaired rims anyway :? Also being from where Iam its ...

Im looking at buying a set of 2nd hand Alloy rims.....But at some point when on 4x4 the wrong nuts where used or nuts became loose and now stud holes are elongated on one rim, ie because of nuts being loose the holes are now wider/bigger :cry: Can they be repaired to a safe normal drivable level? If ...

For anybody in the distant future that may drop in here .... The centre console comes out easy......the rear or hand brake part comes out first. Remove the screws in the storage box then pull up at the front. One guy told me to push forward then up, and now Ive got a broken clip........ :x The front ...

Any ideas on what other make's Alloys will fit a 06 RA Rodeo without stuffing around? Ive been told that Courier, patrol and others fit......just want to make sure.......Fitment is 6/139.7.....16x7 or 16x8, stock tyre is 245/70/16. Dont want to be stuffing around triming panel's, just after bolt on ...

G'Day, Just wondering what if any are the differance's between 05 & 06 Rodeo's. I know some of the basic stuff with diff in the LX & LT, but is there anything else? Im looking at a brand new 06 LX Duelcab 3L Diesel & 5 speed a runout sale at the mo or a still new 05 plated LT as above but just a 05 ...

We are also loking at a 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE XJ Sport Classic, its done 157k, and gas and very straight.

I was going to ask the same normal thing re xj......but this forum doesnt seem to active etc.

Thanks guys for the info....looks like the stealer is trying to rip us off, as normal.........might do a part trade for a jeep.

G'Day all, Looking at getting out of the wife's io and into its bigger brother. I found a 94 NJ from a stealer about 80km away, thay want $11,000 :shock: :roll: Its got 244k on the clock.......looks very very neat though. Just wondering what kind of life span should you get from the 2.8D?, not sure ...

Yeah I saw that your under at the mo....are you ok ? any majar fllooding at your place?

Take care mate

They should be kicking in if you have the 12 volts there so I'm thinking they are stuffed. To run power through them you'll need to connect to battery. I did it (VERY carefully) by using two small screwdrivers (could be anything small enough to fit in plug) in a set of jumper leads and touched the ...

Im thinking about wiring my fans to the AC switch.....Ive only ever had the fans come on once this time last year with 42dec and towing a camper.... I read somwhere they dont come on "On My Model, D1a 12/97" until coolent is at 100dec :shock: Right or wrong I dont like this and rather them come on ...

Disconnect fan, Put a multimeter across the plug pins from the vehicle side. Turn aircon on (make sure fan is on aswell) and place your ignition in the run position. You should get 12volts. More likely fan is stuffed. Just replaced one of mine with one from the wreckers as I want to give rebuilding ...

Thanks for that Bud, Ive also since found out that the fans on my Disco (12/97) arent ment to come on until the coolant is at 100dec :shock: A bit late in my book.....but I will try your tip and see what the go is. We are heading off to Beachport SA on Monday morning, so I hope to get a chance to ...

its cooling the air but I think it could be much better, just thought it was switching off too often

G'day Fella's, Just wondering if I can get some help about my air con compresser? Its cuts in & out most of the time.....Ive looked at fuse's and relays (changed both) but it still does it....could it be getting low on gas? Maybe a elec prob? I dont like the idea of taking it to a air con place but ...

Well looks like I wont be getting another Disco

Just had a good talk to the owner who is a very nice bloke but the lowest he wll go is $3,500 cash firm

Its just not worth it....pity but Life is like that I guess

ok.....thanks guys for the tips
