Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Got them on a GQ and they are crap. The first set smashed, sent them back and they gave us another set and they have sh*t themselves too. Gone back to Nissan ones.

Pretty sure he is in Browns Plains!

whats wrog with them? We had a set of AVM hubs and one of them broke in around 5 places. We sent them back to where we got them from and they werent going to do anything. They told us we must have had a wheel off the ground. Well derrr it is called 4wdriving. They wouldnt give us money back, they ...

Our TB42E/Gas cracked at around the 200 000 but we decided to get it welded. We had it done in March 2008 and had no problems what so ever. It did cost $1200 but we got a lot done. They did a real neat job. We did hear bad stories about welding but as it turns out it worked for us. http://i336 ...

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

read the title of the thread

31st OCTOBER

I think he was talking about the December comp that runs for 2 days!

We used one from a VL Commodore. Needed a bit of altering. Our Gq is on gas as well and it backfired and blew the airbox, so a little more altering is required now

March last year we found that we had a crack in the head, we chose to get it repaired. For $1200 they: Dismantle, acid dip and bead blast, machine valves and seats, surface grind, set valves heights and reassemble. Welded Straighten Pressure test Supply and fit 6 Exhaust seat inserts to suit LPG Fit ...

Did have EFS Shocks (not sure on which ones) and the ride was rough went to Suspension Stuff and got some Boss Adjustables and it feels like a new car.

How good are you with Land Rover Diesels? Mine is nearly due for a new timing belt. Its a 300tdi.

Jodie (Mrs Rut Rat)

All I do is open another tab to open your photobucket acc, right click on the IMG Code and copy then paste on outers. Hope this doesnt confuse you even more

We have a 3" lift in ours with Boss adjustable shocks. Best thing we ever did. The ride is so much smoother. Here is a couple of pics when we had the swaybars off. Hubby undoes them when we get to where we are going and does them up again before we leave. If you have your gas tank at the back and ...

My Landy has never had to be pulled out of anything. I have in fact pulled out a 80 series and a Patrol from a track I got up first go. You have obviously never driven a Landy We just got back from a 2000k trip pulling a 1200kg Jayco Swan and never missed a beat.

Jodie (Mrs Rut Rat)

Thanks Rixcruiza. Turns out he checked the wrong fuseable link. Found the right one and it was blown. We got 2 from Nissan and he will put it in tomorrow.

I have a 98tdi auto and I love it. I think you will find people say that the tdi is better with an auto anyway. Its not a speed machine but its not that slow either. You may struggle to overtake unless you can get a run up :) All Landrovers have there problems but so far mine have been easy fix ...

Hi all. Hope someone can help. I got a text from hubby last night to say that the electric windows stopped working. Not just one but all of them. He also said the central locking was playing up. Could this be connected in some way? Also he has had trouble with the stereo turning itself off then back ...

I'm pretty sure the bolts you need are 12x1.25x150mm. Not sure on the other two. Make sure you get high tensile.

Jodie (Mrs Rut Rat)

From a females point of view, I say go the disco! I drive a 98tdi auto and it has to be one of the best 4wdrives Ive driven. If you can find one that has been looked after you wont be sorry. Maybe go and test drive a few different cars to give you some better idea. Good luck.

Mrs Rut Rat

I would say get a Land Rover Discovery! I just took mine out to Levuka and it went unreal. Hubby drives a GQ and after seeing my car in action he now wants to buy a Landie. You will hear good and bad stories about any car but I reckon it comes down to your own personal choice. Good luck with your ...

You can also get it at a sports store.

We had a similar problem and someone suggested to put thicker oil in the rear diff. It is still LSD oil but we put in 90 grade and it seemed to get rid of the noise.

Had the same problem. The head is prone to cracking. Took it to a alloy head specialist and had it tested and they found 3 cracks. They welded the cracks and put harden valve seats in. I paid $1200 which included gaskets and head bolts.

We got ours from All Brake and Clutch Supplies at Rocklea. Great to deal with. We got one for a GQ petrol.

Same thing happened in the gq. Noticed it was getting a bit hot and when I checked the water it had that oil film on it. Checked the oil and it was white. Turned out it had 2 minor cracks and 1 major crack in the head. Cost me $1300 to fix. Thats me taking it off and putting it back on.

We have only had ours for 1 month but so far it has been brilliant. We have already put 3000klm on the clock. It is a 2.5 diesel automatic. I have heard that the models from 99 on have had their problems but I'm sure any car has its problems.

We just bought a 98 TDi Discovery for $11500 and it tows great. I think the towing capacity is 4oookgs.

Thanks guys. Got a GQ axle so hopefully all goes well tomorrow.

I got hold of an axle and CV and heading out to Levuka on saturday to put it in the car. Had to leave it there on the weekend. Tried taking the axle out and driving it home but as soon as I got around 30km the steering wheel shook like mad.

Thanks for that. Do you know if a GU axle and CV will fit in a GQ?
