Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The one which went for 20K was typical of that car dealer (not sure if company names are allowed to be mentioned) but they are renowned for over pricing and sitting on them until a rich person not knowing the value comes along and buys it.

The one for 11K was a ex Swiss army Haflinger.

Kind ...

Cheers guys!

Was great to see so many people there! and as others have said there were no dramas everyone was very well behaved and respected each others taste of vehicle.


I was the last to leave along with 4 others at 9:30, and we were turning people back as the petition had already left ...

Signed online partitions?

I have just posted it on a couple of forums, sorry is there some others i should be emailing?

As we all know by now there are new laws coming into play on the modifications of cars/4wd's which none of us want to happen...

I received a msg this morning stating:

Be at Newcastle Stadium TONIGHT (28th of July) at 7:30pm to sign a partition to stop laws on lifting and lowering vehicles.


Now i ...

Fairly sure it is...and insurance companies would be able to use it against you when claiming inssurence after an accident. Willing to stand corrected by someone else!

Which is like a baby unimog

independant suspension all round? big difference i reckon

Yeah they have independent suspension all round!

Very nice!

Good to see another Disco getting the goods!

Starter/Alternator will be fine in clean water as its the dirt that gets in the brushes that does the damage another small prevention option is to spray the electric with WD-40 loosen the fan belt and the obvious get a snorkel

Yeap it ended up being a CV iv replaced it and all is good

Ok so my problem with my 89 zook just keep coming! as soon as i have fixed on another seems to arrive.

The handbrake no longer works when i pulled it on today it was loose and the level pulls up with no resistance and there is zero braking! How can i check what this is? Should i just jack the car ...

Ok so i will check the carby this way, is the 1# lead the one cloesest to the firewall?

And what else should i be doing if anything. Should i rev it whilst doing this?

The dissy cap should have a number next to each lead, looking from the drivers side #1 should be top right, and #4 should be ...

The latest news on the zook is as follows.

It will now start with no throttle and idle but is rough and will rev without cutting out. I have heard of a thing called "turbulence" which is caused by holes in exhausts and mine does have one which happened yesterday at about the same time it started ...

I have welded the back seat into place so it will no longer move around which is much safer!

And i have fixed the front right corner after the collision with the bank :x and have decided for now not to worry about a windscreen and see how things go :?

Now that i have sorted out all of them ...

Its all new fuel so it shouldn't be that i drained the carby by removeing the bolts at the front and removed the main plug then cranked it over for a little while will that clear it enough?

It still seems to have the same problem.

Cheers guys, but how do i check these things its a bush basher so i dont have a manual.

How do i fix or check this?

I have a 89 Sierra with the 1.3L carby. Yesterday whilst driving it started to surge and now will not idle and does not hold a constant rpm rather it surges and splutters. I Just drained the Carby thinking there may have been crap in the carby and adjusted the idle but the problem continues. It will ...

24 would be better.

Cheers guys i have sorted most problems out i removed the front bumper and i will fix the seat up this arvo.

Only drama is the windscreen, many have said perspex is too unsafe as it brakes in long sharp pieces and scratches very easy!

So i will leave it for now and i will wait till a cheap ...

Cheers guys!

I would normally not worry about the back seat but i dont have a front seat so it is kind of needed to take people out in it

Cheers ill have a look at a wreckers where is the best one near Newcastle?

Took the zook out today and had one of them days.

Firstly the front bumper was damaged so badly by a mate i had to remove it and had a kangaroo jump out in front of us whilst doing 60K on a dirt track and ended up with a tree through the windscreen and almost through the back one...

Now onto tech ...

Who suggested the price?

Wow! $150 i picked up a complete and running Sierra in good order for free!

Cheers guys!

Yeah i have noticed the low range to be fairly high! always feels like its getting away from you down steep hills. Its always keen to get to the bottom where as the rover creeps down. But it all adds to the zook experience iv learnt to love!

Would it be a good idea to remove the front and rear bumper off my 89 Sierra its only used in the bush.

Whats the best size rubber to fit to a standard sierra 89, the ones on it now have little to NO tread!

Cheers!

Thanks a lot mate!

Yeah i thought law might get in the way, but ill use you option! cheers mate.

I have a 89 Sierra and the front left seat belt has been torn and i was wondering how much it would cost to to get a new belt fitted and where i would get one from?

Would one from a wreckers be feasible?

Cheers guys! My old man has a timing light so we will get that sorted out today
