Shambles, I think your refering to the Power Control Valve which is small round black plastic unit which is clipped onto a small bracket off the inlet manifold. It will have three hoses connecting to it. One from the inlet manifold at the point where the fuel pump compensator is connected, another ...

I put Lovells leaf springs under my Rocky about 6 years ago to give a 2 inch lift. No sagging at all and I have transfered them onto a second vehicle. A very good spring that isnt too firm. http://www.lovells.com.au/ Highly recommend them however they are possibly more expensive than some others ...

Although the glow plugs may be rated at 7 volts, running them from a 12volt supply shouldn't be an issue if your glow plug timer is working correctly. The timer serves two purposes - 1. pre heat the engine correctly for the given conditions, 2. protect the glow plugs from overheating. The period of ...

I haven't tried this before but I don't believe it would help. Most large thermo fans will still move less air than the engine driven fan. If your engine driven fan has a thermo clutch on it, that may be causing your problem. My 92TDI rocky also gets hot if you push it up a hill in hot weather and ...

Did it happen all of a sudden or has it been getting gradually worse over a period of time? If it's been getting worse over time and it's done much over 200k-250k kms then it's probably due for an overhaul (bearings, seals). I would expect it to cost $1200 - $1500 for a good quality job. They're not ...

F77 rear axle is different to the F75. I think the front is the same though. Be careful not swaping injectors and injector pump. I think the injector nozzles in the TD's are different to the NA's to cater for the increased fuel delivery. Could be wrong, but might be worth checking. You'll also need ...

I did see those Bainbridge ones the other day but they have two problems for what I'm trying to do. - They're a common bus which isn't what I'm after. - Cable entry is from the side rather than the rear like the factory. So yeah I still need the factory one. I'm not sure if the feroza one is the ...

I know this stuff is meant for the classifieds section but sometimes it doesn't get as much attention. So... Im after the following reasonably urgently: Radiator (can be buggered) - to suit F75 diesel rocky. Must be the type which has mounting tabs welded to it for the overflow bottle. Typically ...

I run a 2 1/2 inch system right up to the turbo on my 92 tdi rocky. Have 3 hotdogs in line and it's not loud at all. Just a nice whistle when you put your foot down and the windows open. If you cut the turbo flange off the factory exhaust its important to machine this out. The max diameter you'll ...

I'm running 31x10.5 Goodyear MTR's Only modification to fit the tires is 2 inch lifted suspension (Lovells leaf springs and Rancho Shocks). I also fabricated some bump-stop spacers to protect the shocks from being damaged at full compression. This would also help prevent some wheel scrubing but does ...

I own a 1992 F75 TDI Rocky on 31x10.5 tyres with the same engine configuration as the one in the F78 your looking at. Comfortable cruising speed... 100kph easy. Quite happy up to 110 but the fuel tends to go quicker thats all. 120 for short overtaking is fine also. I would also say that "comfortable ...

What "crapped itself" exactly?

Not sure on the time side of things. I'd expect under 20sec thou.

I was also puzzled by this hole until reading the manual. That hole is actually for a breather tube that goes vertically up and connects to a small hole on the underside of the factory cold air intake duct that lies across the top of the fan shroud. If you still have one lying around you will see it ...

I would be taking a good hard look at the voltage regualtor / alternator. Try loading the alternator with headlights, etc rather than the fan and see if you have the same problem. You can remove the cover on the regulator and check that none of the contacts have welded closed. I use an electronic ...

Two's enough for me... at moment anyway :D F75 1986 model. 330,000km's Naturally Asmatic diesel. Was my first car and I don't think I could dare part with it. Had it 8 yrs now. Rebuilt...hmm... everything. Still runs perfectly and starts first time every time. Since getting the newer rocky it's ...

It's a diesel so don't expect to beat anyone at the lights. Even them lowly Ferozas can probably beat you! :finger: As if! :rofl: x2 The biggest problem i'm having is getting the power down to the bitumen (when in the city). Now i'm not a hoon (normally anyway...) but the power the little rocky ...

You can get one that screws onto the box then the speedo cable screws to it. Priced one of those at $180... :shock: Puts out way to many pulses per rev of the tail shaft though. Hopefully the proxy should be a good solution. There designed for industrial applications so once set up they should ...

Nah, not the first. HotFourOK takes those honours... :) Thanks for the tip's with the throttle cable. The weak spot, from what most people that Ive spoken to say, is the speed sensor. Using the magnets on the tail shaft... or should I say loosing them seems to be the biggest problem. Plan to use a ...

Hi all, Just wanting to hear from anyone who has fitted cruise control to there diesel Rocky. What brand? How well it performed? Any tricks to the install? I'm looking at fitting a Command AP60 module. Anybody fitted anything else. Oh, and before anyone says it, no bricks or hand throttles.... :D ...

Could be any number of things. If you've just had the box out to replace the clutch, check the vacuum line is still connected. It runs down the passenger side of the engine block from the alternator. There's a small bit of hose where the clutch housing bolts to the motor. Also, as already said ...

Are you sure its coming out of the bell housing and not running down from higher up near the head? If it is coming from the bell housing area you will need to remove the gearbox, clutch and flywheel. Then you should be able to remove the backing plate to get at the crank seal and any welch plugs ...

My advice, for what its worth, would be just get in there and do the lot in one go. Other wise you'll be in and out of there more times than you can count if you do them one at a time.

Learnt that the hard way myself...

Good luck with it.

Cheers

Just had my original stainless snorkel copied to put on my newer Rocky. Cost about $150 for them to bend it up and weld some mounting tags on that i had pre-cut and tapped with threads. All one-piece 3" stainless steel, mandrel bent. Not sure on the wall thickness. Not heaps thick or heavy but ...

No worries.

Good luck with it.

Cheers.

If yours has a "4H" button on the dash then it uses a vaccum solenoid to engage 4wd. This solenoid works completley independently of the HI-LO selector. Im not quite sure how problems with the solenoid can effect it jumping into neutral? Doesnt make sense. You can see in the photos that there not ...

Front leafs are pretty crap really. Especially in the diesels due to the extra weight of the motor. Used Lovells springs on mine. Come standard at 2" lift which is the same with most aftermarket brands. Have a feeling thats the max you can go without an engineering certificate. Had them for about 5 ...

Well after moving states I've finally had the chance to update things a bit. The gearbox is in and runs smoother than ever. Whisper quiet now. No real issues with the assembly. Every thing went back together piece by piece as expected. Clutch operation is smooth and suprisingly light. Total costs ...

Have a look at this:

Or if that doesnt work just search for "Rocky F75 Timing Belt".

A van pump has a rotor with carbide impellers mounted slightly offset from centre in a round cylinder. The impeller blades are not fixed so that they are able to slide in and out of the rotor piece as it rotates. This is neccessary because if you take a fixed point on the rotor, as it turns, the ...
