Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Maybe restoring a rangerover and just thinking..

Can a P38 R/R dash be fitted into a R/R classic (with some mods I guess) or for that matter how about other Landrover's (disco). I would think a soft dash would be best but its getting hold of one. Did the Australian R/R even get the soft dash. I ...

How do you engage 4wheel drive?

Was looking at a car to buy and on the inspection neither myself or the guy selling couldn't engage 4h or 2 h after taking the gear out of 2 h. It just wouldn't go back in and the car wouldn't move. It finally went into low and then (much later after fighting with it ...

Seen a 1988 110 3.5 V8 with 360000kms. Can they do this amount? How much life does it have left? What is it worth?

Not to sure if the old V8 can do high Km's. The guy says its been serviced reguarly. But that could mean anything.

looking to buy a 1980 2 door 3.5 rangie ($1600) and the guy is telling me the pitman arm needs replacing.
My question is can I still drive it (home from Sydney to Canberra), how much will it cost to get done? Is it a job I can do myself?
After reading on this site I see the steering box can be a ...

Does anyone know if a 1985 Toyota as a Hilux 30-spline Axle ? For that matter what about a 1992 surf ( I presume the axles & diffs are the same?) Any info is good as I'm looking into putting these axles onto an early rangerover. Would the gearbox be up to taking a ford v8, dont know much about ...

Well I was after the extra height, hence the springs and suspension lift. I was under the impression I wouldn't be able to fit 31inch tyres without some kind of lift.
The suspension needs a good update all-round anyway, so Im going to do that and the tyres in 1

Will a Mitsi magna V6 fit? (Bit cheaper on 2nd hand market) or does anyone have any alternative (petrol) engine transplants. i would love a V8..
I don't need it yet just forward planning, I could do with the more power now thou

If you put these springs on the back, what do you do for the front? I read something about changing the torsion bars, what ever that is about? What shocks would you put on all round?
I want to do this to my 95 3.5V6 but I don't have a great deal of money, I also would like your comments on tyres, I ...

hey...... a mate had the same problem with his pajero.. it was a factory fitted system. we were able to use the original wiring with an aftermarket solenoid that we got from supercheap in a kit.

Hi Mate thanks for your reply, do you have any details of how you did your repair? Was it difficult ...

cheers guys good advice & info. Makes a change from the sarcastic smart arse replies usally given.
Will have a look at the solenoid this week.

I agree the early rangies are better, with all landrovers thou its rust, engine overheating (maybe later models thou), electrical gremlins, wear on box,oil leaks (well they all leak thou)

the suspension is usually good, but its worth a look see what under the 4 corners. I had 1 odd spring size when ...

It's a bit late I know, but I'm in Canberra if you need anything in the future.

Nice-surf is right, it kinda happened to me after I stupidly let someone tow me. ping, open wallet.

Yea different piston and the crown is altered too, if my memory serves me.

if you get the manual 1, i think it will yes ! As always with a bit of work. I had a 92 manual and they look about the same. Sometimes the transfer lever can be off set more in the early ones. Take some pics and a tape measure & wonder around the scrappers. good luck..

Bumper off, it was easy in the end. the bar already there kinda fell off really. Thanks for the advice.
Now I will look around for a rear one with maybe a spare wheel holder, or maybe not.

Trying to fit a bull bar to my pajero, does anyone know how to get the original bumper off? It's fitted with a child friendly bar, I think during the fitment something as happened.

Any pointers will be good, cheers thanks.

looking into getting a suspension lift, does anyone have any experience with fitting,cost, which is best for my year?
I read some things about the torsion bar & nissan patrol rear springs, but I don't have much info on it.

hi thanks for that, so if they are in the door is that in the lock itself or do I have to take the door panel off? not that I know what I'm looking for anyway !
Do you know what they look like and maybe cost? I'm just trying to figure out if its me worth still going around to the passenger side door ...

My central locking will only work when I use the key in the passengers door and not in the drivers door (lock). If I use it in the drivers door it just locks that door only.
If I use it in the passenger side lock (from outside/as per normal) then everything works as it should !

What's going on ...

Just found out the link doesn't work.. So much for that hey !

I'm not sure if this is going to work, not really sure how to post pics. If you can get to it there are some pics here. Otherwise I can e-mail you.
Cheers

Had a look at the wheel and from what I can see (like you said hard to measure with the tyre on), the wheel is 16 x 8 and there is no stamp (of the size) on the rims.
The tyres on there at the moment are:
P235/75R15 105S bridgestone dueller A/T

I'm not really sure what I have or what's the ...

Got after market (sun riser) wheels on my 96 Pajero.. Not knowing anything about wheels & tyres.
How do I tell what size they are? ( I guess if I have to measure them, where?)
Also then how can I find what the maximum size tyre I can fit on them?

this is what id do.

try selecting first then put it into rrverse that helps sometimes,

change your gearbox oil...maybe even add an additive

or try pumpin the clutch a few times..

doie it grind on the way in or just a bit hard sometimes?


No it doesn't grind its just hard to get in sometimes ...

I have a 96 3.5 LWB pajero with low k's. Sometime reverse is hard to select, it goes in but not with ease, its not hard but not easy, if that makes any sense.
Is this a Pajero thing or do I have a problem?
