yeah but what about my clunky clunk as i slow down...

I think the backlash clunk is quite likely diff... but not sure

Hi all, Recently put a bearing kit through my standard 1.3 transfer. All bearing noise has now gone and it's much nicer to drive... But I now have a clunking noise when i take my foot off the accelerator and remove load. It also makes an interesting clunking noise as i slow down, at speed its fine ...

I just put a transfer lever kit through mine and it engages a lot more convincingly now. The kit comes with a bush the lever sits into, a new rubber boot and retaining ring and 2 replacement ball bearings and springs (used to hold the internal shifting shaft into position, and the spring is longer ...

On the gearbox there are about 4 sensors... The reverse switch is the one closest to the top and i think about the second one from the front of the box.

Had my gearbox out twice in the last week, fun times.

Do you know its a faulty switch?

You window regulator is stuffed...

You will need to remove the door trim and replace the regulator. You will be able to find them on ebay, parts shops or motor wreckers.

Clutch was rooted big time... But so was box. Chucked in the spare box i got when i bought the car... also no good.

Anyone got a decent box they're looking to get rid of?

Hi all, Yeah yeah, i've searched. Can find heaps of info on what clutch to go in and blah blah blah... Just want to get an idea of what I need to take out underneath. Gotta remove gear levers, pull the bellhousing bolts out, remove shaft between box and transfer... For people who have had their box ...

Good luck crawling... or driving on sand! (assuming gearing has remained standard)

Yeah, some pics would be super!

Hi all

I need a UHF Radio Repairer in Sydney, preferably Northern Beaches.

If anyone knows someone in the area please let me know!

Speak to Brad, he's an awesome bloke!

So...

Pulled the unit out today to find some sort of oil over the outside of it... So I opened it up, there was a little but if oil on the inside and one of the capacitors (or something similar) has exploded. Damn.

So I am now looking for a radio repairer to take it to.

As mentioned earlier, I have checked coax cable and all is good... The bar does conduct, I've now tested for that. Thought it was a valid question though. Put a different radio in to test with all the same cables and it worked fine so there seems to be some sort of fault within my radio unit ...

Yeah I have checked the continuity from the plug end to the base of the antenna and all is fine on both the pin and the ring and i've checked for continuity between the pin and the ring and they're not shorted out so that should be fine...

Will try a ground cable when it's not raining!


Cheers!

Hi all, I have an icom UHF in my zook, I'm getting about a car-length range out of it at the moment... I think it worked on the way home when I bought the car but I've since put on an alloy bar. I've checked the connection of the cable from the plug to the base of the antenna and all is fine, I've ...

Did you use the zook springs or change them to something else?

Also, do the zook springs work with the hilux spring perch or will I need to weld zook spring perches onto the hilux housing?

so if it appears in too many threads it will come up saying there's no matches... Not a result I would have expected!

If the shoes and discs are new, are the definately 100% the correct part? If the shoes and disc's are on the same axle I would be 100% sure they are incorrect :finger: Peter. Ha ha, Yeah I was clearly in my own world that day... I meant drums, obviously. I've had problems before where I've been ...

Well that does complicate matters then! Most cars I've done you set cyl 1 to tdc but ifthe manual says to set it at cyl 4 then I'd be inclined to follow it's instructions!

I havent done one but there should have been a timing mark on the crank and cam pulleys

To be completely honest, i've never found the search function totally successful... I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Just now I typed "sierra" in the search box and selected "suzuki" in the drop down menu for which forum to search and it came back with no results. What am I doing wrong?

I've had a 4Runner and 2 Troopies... Handbrakes work fine when they are adjusted up correctly. If the shoes and discs are new, are the definately 100% the correct part? Loosen the cable adjuster as fas as possible and tighten at the drum adjustment till the shoes just start rubbing - Then tighten ...

Be heavy handed? You have to try to avoid bending the sealing surface as much as possible... When you get it off just lay it on a bench or something and try to lightly tap with a hammer and wide punch, or small socket to try to achieve a flat sealing surface again. If it goes in warped and bent ...

Yeah I'll try get some pics up tonight...

The fuel adjustment screw... Is that on the side or the top?

The leak doesnt seem to be out any screw or the throttle lever just seems to be out the back of the plate at the join so we'll see...

Hey all... Put my GQ up on the hoist tonight - Was going to pull the radiator out to start trying to resolve overhearing problems. Decided not to bother when I noticed Diesel pissing out of the injector pump. It's coming out of the top, where there's a plate sort of thing on top. At the back of that ...

But I was sort of wondering if there should really be that much movement in the guage. At "normal" operating temp it sits at a quarter or less and with weight up hills she rises to half.

If the guages aren't really accurate that might be a substantial differ in engine temps.

Hey guys Recently bought a 92 gq 4.2 diesel and the temp guage sits at about a quarter till I'm going up a hill with some weight loaded in the car then it seems to climb to around half on the guage. Is this fairly common or should I start chasing causes. Ive heard the temp guages aren't great ...

Timing gears!? Excellent!

Picking it up tomorrow now instead of sat... Cheerin!

Well boys I am now a Nissan owner! Or I will be this Sat...

Looked at this other one this morning and Gave him a deposit. The cooling system on this did pressurise unlike the other one. And everything else was excellent too.

Has the 4.2 Diesel got a timing belt or chain?

All sounds like the same kind of line I was thinking... The cap looked and felt pretty good but I didn't have a tester with me.

I'm looking at another patrol today so I can at least compare with that.. And I'll keep you posted with what happens with the other one!
