Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I fitted Phillips plus 120 to my sister Honda Jazz, they work awesome and seem to be lasting really well.

It's your rear sway bar release at the back, check that the sway bar link on the drivers side is pushed up (push it up by hand).
I assume you don't have a rear sway bar in? If you did it'd lock back in when the lever is pushed in and you go round a corner.

Check your alternator charge, can sometimes cause all the warning lights to come on when it faults.

Wound up fuel pump, extractors, snorkel, that's the engine mods, running on 33's.
I get 15.5L - 16L per 100K's round town (stop start all the time) and i drops to 11.5L per 100k's when i do a solid tank of fuel on the motor way, the engine has 320 000 on it now too.

I'm no expert, but i would think that a decent weld job with the support bracket as well would be fine, that tearing is why the support was fitted as a factory recall i believe.

In short, yes the solar panel will charge the battery from the anderson plug, it won't run the fridge indefinately but will definately extend your stay.

Try getting some actual lightforce bulbs, sounds stupid, but philips and lightforce run their filiments in different directions from memory (ie: one side to side, one base to tip), sounds tupid but worth a try.

Make the current 24v - 12v transformer stay on permanently. Then hook the stereo up to it like you would to the battery, the "accessory" side needs to have a relay put in line (use a 24v switched relay). Then switch the relay off accessories. The switching and contact circuits in relays are seperate ...

Thanks scott, answers most of my questions and i've posted on there now for the ones i haven't had answered yet.

Anyone got any info on the wear of them? I'm looking at the possibility of them as my next set, but curious how many k's people have gotten out of theirs?

Looking at maybe running goodyear wrangler silent armour tyres as my next set, just curious how many k's other people have gotten out of them? Also how'd they handle on road and off? I know they're an allterain, but i'm do mostly on road / beach work and about 10-15% off road ( no mud if it's ...

I've got an 89 GQ TD42 that i fitted a GU TD42 turbo pump to. Set to .65mm and it goes an absolute treat. Never done the injectors on it either. I'd set it to .7 or .74 and run it and see what you think. I'd be disinclined to advance it too much unless it's being done by a diesel professional. Mine ...

Cheers all
Sam could you post a pic of your setup, sounds like its the go. Just want to see how it sits and is mounted.

Thanks Michael

Looking at putting a water to air inter cooler system on a GU TD42 ute. I want the radiator for the intercooler under the tray though, the ute has the factory dual tank setup and a standard steel tray. Has any seen / done something like this with the standard un lifted tray on? Any idea what sorta ...

Those "smart charge battery chargers" are renowned for doing that, they fail and then don't go to float. Especially the blue ones "soubds dumb but the blue ones are the worst for doing." I've replaced at least 15 of them that have done exactly what yours has done.

Keep me posted on how ya go and i'll do a little research on that circuit.

Unplug the reverse switch on the gearbox and see if it still does it, i have a feeling the reverse circuit may be on the same fuse. It could be something simple like a shorted reverse light bulb or damaged wiring on the gearbox from wheeling.

I'm running the narva ultima 225 pencil beam lights on my patrol as i needed something that could be side mounted. I'm extremely happy with their performance for open road work. Realy good reach with just the standard 100w bulbs in them.

It's just a spair vac line foe different model pootrols, some need it some don't, if you don't need it seel it off properly as the little rubber cap can come off then you lose all vac. The rubber cover on it is just to keep dust out till fitment.

Be careful of the 2 year warranty on the optima, some suppliers consider 4wds to be commercial vehicles and will therefore only offer a 6 month warranty. It's a crock of sh.t but true. We sold one at work a while ago when we found out the hard way about the warranty issue. We copped it on the chin ...

I also had a similar problem with mine, but it would sometimes slip too, turned out the booster had split it's seal and sucked fluid into itself (caused by a leaking master cylinder), when it warmed up it stuffed up, but even then only sometimes.
Asuming yours has the booster at least

If it's blowing unburnt fuel past 1800rpm it sounds timing related to me. Check the pump hasn't been bumped or anything during the work done, also try adjusting the fuel on the pump itself and see if winding the fuel up / down makes any difference. When i replaced my injector pump 12 months ago it ...

Just chasing if anyone knows which wire in the back of a 100 series landcruisers standard headunit is the stereo mute wire?

Thanks Michael

My alarm has this feature and it also randomly did it (or so I thought). I soon figured out that the doors only locked if they were shut when the car was started. If the doors were open when the car was started, the doors obviously wouldn't try and lock. Just a thought... Mine reacts the same, it's ...

Thanks mancap, thought there was something like that i could do. Problem is he wants one of those big after market shift lights so its "easy to see" when he's doing his quarter mile runs

Got a guy wanting me to hook up a shift light to his commodore ute (either VY or VZ not to sure), no after market tacho just the light. Anyone done this and any ideas where to hook up would be good. I've heard taking a feed from the computer input messes with the engine. Just wanted to know if going ...

Cruisers have negatively switched headlights, make sure that's not the issue. Pluck play is often for positive switched headlights.

Hey bud, i've got a TD42 non turbo wagon and have recently had a set of extractors fitted with a 2.5 inch exhaust system with a straight through muffler, the muffler is basically under the back seats and a 45 mandrel bend somes out of the muffler and dumps, it doesn't have the turbo whistle but has ...

I have a 2004 pajero diesel at work right now, just trying to locate the glow plug ecu and glow plug relay, if any one can help that'd be great.

Thermos noramally run a hell of a lot better with a shroud too, especially at low speed, get your hands on one and fit it before replacing your thermos as well.
