I am looking at getting a washable air filter for my Fez. What is your opinion on the best quality air filter in regards to flow and filtration. The options i have looked at are either K&N or Unifilter applications for the standard Feroza air box. Also the Unifilter pre airbox filter.

I use Toyota brand coolant in a 50/50 mix with distilled water. I have never had any problems but it is a bit pricey around $40 for 4 liters for the concentrate from Toyota but it has a good reputation for keeping everything corrosion free.

Mighty Mouse i was just looking at the thread on you SPAL fan conversion, How did that end up going and which model 16" fan did you end up purchasing?

The new viscous hub is $505
I found a new Denso radiator for $457

I had it rebuilt under warranty a year or so ago but it never really functioned as it is supposed to. I have a fealing there could even be too much silicon in there i guess. Well it looks like the radiator will be out for a few days getting re built as the only place i found that can supply an ...

Yeah i will be having a play with it before i scrap it for sure. Just wondered if they are still available anywhere in case i destroy it.

Has anyone replaced their viscous clutch for the cooling fan? Mine wont disengage till i rev the nuts off it but then it kicks back in well enough when she gets warm. I am looking into a radiator replacement and want to sort out the viscous hub at the same time. Does anyone know where to get a new ...

No not yet have no idea what pins to short out for the test. All the workshop manuals i have seen only have the simple 6 pin version of the diagnostic box.

I have been through the FAQ and found the thread on this subject but with photos of the diagnostics plug missing. :? Tried testing my throttle position sensor it seems to work for the idle part of the switch if i let the accelerator spring pull the throttle back into position but if i release it ...

I am having troubles when starting my roza any time the engine has cooled down. It idles very low for about ten seconds then slowly comes up to about 1000rpm, it has actually stalled a few times aswell. There is no probs if the engine is allready warm. I had a faulty oxy sensor so that was replaced ...

mine had a sticker with the connections labeled, if its got a "C" then it should be left disconnected - if its an "S" then it goes straight to the battery. The donor vehicle for my alternator was a HC Applause ( 1.3 ) so perhaps there are differences. My old f300's alt only had two wires in a ...

I have done the applause swap. It lined up fine withe f310 setup. i needed to change the top mounting bracket as it has a closer arc that does not line up with the applause alternator diameter. The plug was a match for the feroza plug but i think this is causing a problem. There are only two wires ...

Yes both belts in my fez are ribbed belts. When i did the applause aircon compressor conversion the belt had to be changed to 4rib from the 5rib that is standard, There has been no probs with that. the other belt which has the alternator on it is a 4rib standard, I hope it will be a straight bolt in ...

Do you know if the applause alternater pulley will line up with the feroza ribbed belt set up in later model ferozas? There are no help yourself wreckers left in perth and its hard to find brackets etc, even harder to find one still in an applause to compare the set up differences. The cheapest ...

I have the smallest Exide Extreme battery available in mine. All i had to do was bolt on the bigger terminals and remove the standard plastic tray and buy a bigger battery bracket to hold it in. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z108/bentheelen/DSCF5512.jpg I am still looking at alternator options ...

The air compressor is a bit of a gamble, unlike the "endlessair" commercial units which are axial piston, the stock Applause unit is a vane type. Vane units cannot be run without oil lubrication and so will have to make an oil seperator to get it out of the discharge air and back into the ...

MightyMouse wrote:FROZY - how did you lift the suspension ?

I had an extra millitry wrap leaf added to the rear and just wound up the front to match. The 9R tyres scrub a bit when the front is under compresion while turning but other than that she goes allright.

Some of the older holden alternators fit this bracket. and the only things that stop you putting more than ~100Amps through it is the blocks in the middle of the alternator. if you can find some bigger ones then you are in luck. At the moment i have dual Bosh alternators at the moment ~100Amps each ...

Unclip the vinal trim on the RHS with a flat screwdriver and you will see it

Thanks mate will check it out asap.

Yeah have this problem too. I have only had a look underneath the car, I found a small plate that seems to have something sitting on top of it just near the fuel filler side of the fuel tank. I have not had time to go further in but i think the plate is guarding the black box. Can anyone back this ...

Looks sweet mate.
What sort of lift, offset rim etc have you done to get those babies on there?

My feroza uses about 10 liters to the hundred depending o what kind of driving. Not so good i guess but i am a bit of a lead foot at times.

I have noticed the same crack on my feroza what sort of welder should be used for this weld? Also should i use a plate or something to help strengthen the area?

I am running Maxxis Bravo which is an all terrain tyre that does ok in most situations......except full on mud. They are 30X9.5 r15 and i have a 2" supension lift they still rub when turning and bouncing or going over something large while turning such as a big box curb. But hey in the sand she ...

I am looking for a soft top set up for my fez but am not too sure of the options. There are a few options in the 4WD World website for replacemenyt canopies, not sure about the differences between the tuck type and the clip type. Does anyone know where to get hod of the bar work to support the canopy?

I have been looking to get a tow bar fitted to my Fez. There seems to be a large variation in tow capacities for the feroza depending on who instals it, form 900kg to 1500kg but nobody seems to be able to tell me how far it will sit down. I was wondering if any body could tell me how far down the ...

This time i decided to by pass the internet and give the good old phone a go. The waiting list for a gas conversion in perth is around april atm. When i asked about a feroza conversion nobody had an existing kit and nobody was interested in making up a custom conversion because there was no ...

I have considered the loss of space and i came to the conclusion of doing the full conversion. ie:totally remove the petrol aspect converting to a straight LPG carberator then using the space where the petrol tank is to place the lpg bottles. In my reserch i have seen that there are different shapes ...

I have since had some replies back from various gas conversion work shops. Most of them have stated that there is no kit available for a fez.........surprise surprise. None of them had much interest in making up something to fit i guess because of thier new found demand courtesy of the goverment ...

The straight LPG conversion has interested me. I have been hunting around on the net trying to find a company that can do this to a feroza. Nobody has replied to my emails just yet. Does anybody know of a place in Perth or anywhere for that matter that can do the conversion?

I am doing a service on the old girl and want to change the oil in the gear box and transfer case. The service manual is a little hard to navigate and i am finding it hard to find the specs on the correct grade oil to use and also where the drain plugs and filler plugs are on both the gearbox and ...
