Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If you think it's a brake/caliper problem, get it jacked up and try spinning the wheels whilst someone is applying the brake. If it is brake related and dropping/pushing to the left, it would be the right hand side I'd be checking, not the left.

Any chance I could appropriate a copy of that? E-mail address is: mattf@bauchan.org

I only ever use pure gum turpentine as an additive for my furniture polish. Never heard of using it in fuel. It's not generally something you hear of mentioned as a fuel additive. It's quite a while since I researched it, so can't remember specifics offhand, but the stuff does have some desirable ...

There are more commercial products and homebrews than you can shake a stick at, as far as fuel treatments/additives are concerned. Personally, I just use a mix of 2 stroke oil and pure, (gum), turpentine.

Should be enough diagnostic reference info here to get you on the right track.

i cant find one. any help is appreciated

The link in my sig which says 'Workshop Manuals' might be a tad of a hint?

Primarily, a lack of maintenance seems to be the main cause. The coolant system isn't actually too bad. An old, poorly maintained coolant system can be absolutely shocking though.

Sounds like either low or buggered ATF.

If its 2.4 your after do your research and make sure the head has been done. That advice is starting to become applicable, (to a degree at the moment), to the 3.0L engines now too. They're not immune from cracking either. turbo diesel (after the fuel economy, low range tourque) Fuel economy and ...

when the old one was in, if i tap the top of the voltage reg cover(in engine bay) the lights go out and everythings good til i turn engine off, so im fairly sure thats part of the problem Speculation won't repair it. Proper diagnosis will lead to a repair, however. Unless you get the meter on it ...

Load and short are different things.

Just a quick question for you chaps who were unsuccessful with the electric fan setups, what type/brand of fan unit were you using?

Just a quick ask from you Nissan chaps. :) If anyone happens to download any of these at any point, (especially the upper three from the list): http://forums.bauchan.org/portal/downloads.php?dcid=18 could you just let me know if the descriptions are okay or if I've ball'sed them up. :D I'm not ...

I was hoping for something more like a liquid that i could just pour in the hole, seal up and slosh around, with the liquid converting all the rust and forming a protective coating. If it's not too badly rusted, I'd go with the advice above. Something lanolin or fish oil based. Provided it coats ...

A phosphoric acid solution can be used to neutralise rust. You'll get plenty of info from Google.

I bally well hope it is. I'll be gutted if not.

the 2.4TD was an abosolute dog, the 3.0TD is a whole new ball game. That's another point where you tend to find a lot of variation. I know some of the members on the UK Surf forum have 2.4's that run like absolute slugs, whereas others have rather nippy 2.4's. Never has there been a specific reason ...

The rear carriers weren't standard on Surfs either. Some have underslung as normal, some have the rear carrier. My 2nd gen has the rear carrier. The 1st gen, however, is underslung.

Cheers. I think I've collected and added those sometime in the past. The uri seems familiar. Btw, the links appear to be playing silly devils from this end. It's just displaying a page not found message when you try downloading a file.

give it a go ihave requested before and received them Cheers. :) Didn't want to ask without double checking first. :D I'm not looking for any specific manual in particular, but with this being a fairly diverse site with regards to brands of 4x4, and me being on one of my periodical runs trying to ...

Are repair manual request posts/threads allowed on here, or is it frowned upon?


Cheers.

Hey MattF, give us a call some time, we'll do dinner.... ;) :D :D and a bit hard for parts also To be honest, I've never found any problem obtaining parts personally. One would assume it varies from country to country in that regard though. :) The worst obstacle can usually be trying to get a ...

I've never been renowned for seriousness. Besides, it's a pleasure to finally meet a couple of Aussie's with the same tactlessness and sarcasm levels as I.

Hate to say this, but I'm beginning to take a liking to you two.

Btw, naff is from Porridge, not the Monty Python team.

However, (using your own post as the marker for the sake of simplicity), Thats an utter load of bollocks guv :finger: Why is his view the only one that needs a disclaimer?

Well, I can honestly say I've seen some crap posted in threads before, but some of the opinions in this thread take the biscuit for complete and utter tosh. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Surfs. They are not Lemons or anything like. You simply have to remember that a lot of the Surfs are ...
