Will do!

Done.. Got them aligned now...

Now.. With the oil and treatment..

It looks and feels a bit muddy in there..

If I drop out the old and add it with new..

can you go 100% treatment? and or is there a good brand for that??

Hey Nic, Yeh she is an early bird..
85 - Replaced the bush last year.

My fault this time as I bashed the lever whist driving in Low..


Cruch.. then locked out in Neutral

I might of just got it..
worst part is doing it blind..

Cheers for tip bud

G'day boys - The t/case seized into Neutral on weekend..

Got the boot and stick out now..

But cant figure out the next step??

Any advice at what im looking at?

ALSO

Ive never added or changed the fluid / oil in the the thing.. its noisy as hell..
What should I buy to service it? - How much and ...

Nice one, cheers.. Tried Veales here in perth and got a result..
$11.50

Trying to get a condenser for my 1lr
Called local repco and they didnt know the part?
Was going to try another place and wondered if anyone might know off here?

Cheers

added a new vid - From in the cab..

In retrospect the vids are fairly pointless, as most will have different speakers etc..
She is pretty loud inside mind you..I thought at least this way as the work is carried out I can go back and listen to the ...

Nothing obvious, going to check a bit more ..

tappets are a common problem with 1ltrs, i just reco'ed the head on mine and am yet to adjust the tappets properly with feeler gauges, runs ok just a bit tappy.
Im goin out to the p-lines tmoz in my ute if your keen for a spin

Hey mate, ive got a job on tomoz so ill have to rain check (quite ...

Just replaced engine, straight swap for another 1ltr..

Cheapest option for an old 85 girl?

Any advice would be sound!

fix it. my opinion in its current shape it can't be worth more than $1000, 1200 tops. 1lt motors are land fill. you should be able to come accross one for next to nothing. if you were on this side of the desert you could have my maruti motor for bugger all. 94 model 80.000km but still worthless ...

1.3s out of swifts can be had for sfa and then u just need the 1.3 sierra bits to put onto it. i would have some of these already if u need (think i got a dizzy,angle drive and cam at home spare) u would need sump at least from what i know and gearbox (may have one also but would need seals put ...

hah - Yeh spoke the cannington shop, they had a running 1lt out of a van there but he wasnt sure on condition.. really If Im going to go through the arse ache of doing it all, I want to know she is going to last really.. the last engine was kept in fairly good nic, but blew!!

Umm regards the motor ...

G'day Folks -

Ive got a zook 85 LWB Ute..
Up until recently she had served me well and asides from a noisey transbox..

However. The 1lt let go on the freeway and I just cant see me taking on the project in terms of what she deserves..

As she stands she could be turned into an awesome comp ute ...

Yep, Im in a similar boat.
I have 85 LWB Ute, she had a 1lt with a whiny transbox, but over weekend..
She blew.. Not done a major inspection as yet, but 1st plug is ceased presumed munched, 2 & 3 have oil and metal in the base of them..

Ouch!

So im in two minds in terms of which way to go..
Keep ...

Update - She seemed to get worse over night, so popped down to Suzishop in Midland and got it looked at, $118 later, and a rear tail shaft uni joint (Front Joint) later.. and we are back to business, nothing out of the ordinary noise or vibration wise now..
Looking fwd to the weekend to test it on ...

Congrats on the purchase. Looks good in red too. I really like Sierra utes. The only thing I don't like about them is they don't make them anymore.

Tyres & Rims:
I have fitted 235/75R15 on 15x6 rims under a stocker 1.0l ute with zero dramas.

Vibrations etc:
1. Cab vibrations: pretty much ...

Thanks for replies guys will address each one..

G'day Guys - I'm hoping for some advice and wether to invest in the ute to be perfectly honest.

Basically - I have picked it up pretty cheap, its got just on 150,000 k's - 970cc - 4 on the floor.
Body is surprisingly straight with a few rust spots here n there, but defo can be sorted by a decent re ...
