Anyone knows where can I get shock spacers for Ironman shocks for GV 98?

Thanks

Found the leak finally and its an external leak *thank god* It was a very small pipe split under the intake. That must heave been leaked and vaporised quickly as it touched the engine block. Cant believe how tight the space is just to change the small pipe from the thermostat housing. Btw, no need p...

And if the fluid inside has lost its viscosity what happen with the fan?

its the fan for cooling the radiator , if it spins freely when the engine is at rest , the fluid inside has lost its viscosity. because it cant efficiently cool the radiator , the radiator will push more water out than it can recover , hence a mysterious water loss . just an idea as it has been one...

where is it n what about it?

yes and i could not find anything.

if the radiator cap is faulty how the water goes out? as I couldnt find any trace of water around it. Unless it goes as a steam thats why it is losing water after the engine stop and slowly losing water.

I'll buy one tommorow. Repco has one in stock which is good. well chrismast is coming n most of the shop will closed.

I saw one the other day in supercheap, a radiator cap with temp gauge. does it any good getting one of those?

Do you think it will be the same ride for GV?

I would go the Calmini stuff, I played around with just coils before, but kept breaking CVs so I then put in the Calmini kit. With the arms and drop brackets for the front diff my CV's held up alot longer. I ran 255/70R16 and a 1 inch body lift, all that was needed was a little trim of the plastics...
