Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks guys. I've never replaced a clutch before so I think I'll work out how to get it towed and have someone else do it for me. More money for the money pit.

it's easy. Last night I tried again to put it into gear bbut now I can't get it to go into any gear. Before then it would go into all gears without needing the clutch pedal pressed or manipulated manually.

%$@%^$@^%$@^%$@^% aaaaarrrrrgghghhh I lubed the cable and put it back on the pedal and all of a sudden nothing. The padal is now limp and even though the pedal moves the cable it won't go into gear. I can manually move the lever underthe car as well and nothing. I think the clutch fork has gone ...

on closer inspection with the help of an assistant I have narrowed it down to the cable rubbing in the housing near the battery. Do you think this means the cable is on its way out? Any ideas on where to source a new cable form and a rough price? Also any tips on how to get some lube into the cable ...

Hi Guys, Has anyone had any problems with the clutch cable rubbing on a Feroza? It was working fine and then one day it started making this god aweful noise everytime the pedal goes in and out. I have had a look and can't figure out how to stop it from rubbing. It sounds like the cable is catching ...

Thanks MM. Which forum did you mean to look on as I have searched on here and found nothing but am certain the info came from here originally. I have ordered the idler bushes from Peddars to see if it makes a difference but they couldn't supply pittman bushes at all.

Hi Guys,

A while ago I got the details from someone on here of a person who was able to supply both arms for a reasonable price. I never followed it up and have lost the details but am in desperate need of new arms plus bushes. Does anyone know where I can ge them from?

I cut and pasted this from a thread I had running recently with similar problems. The electric water pump isn't necessary and now I worry that the car isn't hot enough as it runs REALLY cool. UPDATE. The re-core radiator went in and still it overheated. Thinking the thermostat was fine after testing ...

Does it lose power when the light comes on?

I know it is something pretty simple but have you made sure that the battery is secured down properly and it isn't boucing up into the bonnet?

Just posted in the for sale section although they aren't really for sale as they are free to the first person able to come and get them.

Just incase anyone else needs this info. I tried Huntingdale radiator services and they wanted $212 just to rod and clean. I then went to Eastside Radiator Services in Glen Waverley and I can't recommend them enough. They would have cleaned the radiator for $80 but recommended a re-core instead ...

UPDATE. The re-core radiator went in and still it overheated. Thinking the thermostat was fine after testing it in a saucepan I hadn't actually tried running the car without it until today. Well that was definatley the culprit. I've never seen the engine run so cool. I was a bit dissapointed with ...

Once the thermostat was pulled out buibbles were quite obvious to see so there is definatley a head problem.

What's the most likely explanation for a sweet smelling exhaust. I've been having overheating problems for a while now and I can't see any coolant in the oil. I also can't see any oil in the coolant and there is no white smoke on start up. I've just forked out for a new water pump and re-cored ...

Continuing the saga and a newly cored radiator is going in tomorrow. The old one was 80% blocked :? I rang one place up close to home and he wanted $212 just to clean it and $350 for a re-core. The next place was going to clean it for $80 but when I got there he basically said it wasn't worth it and ...

I haven't run it with the thermostat removed but did pull both thermostats that I own out of the car and test them in a saucepan. they both opened fully at the right temperature. I just put the whole car back together so rather than pull i tout again I'll run it up to temp and then see if the bottom ...

aaaarrrrggggghhhhh. Not only was the water pump fine when I removed it but after putting it all back together and fitting the electric pump it still overheats. I couldn't even get it off the driveway. I wasn't able to get the water pump out before |I had my one and only opportunity this week to buy ...

Any suggestions for a place in Melbourne to take my radiator to so that it can get the tubes rodded?

I hate going to unknown places and wasting time getting overpriced quotes.

Forgot to say thanks to AJ for the offer of help as it is always appreciated. If I can get the overheating sorted I may just need a hand putting the body lift on

Is your rig a dark blue/purple with flame decals on the side? If so I rode past it last night.

Awesome. Sounds like I was one bolt away as it got dark last night. I have everything out and the cover removed but I couldn't work out if the belt actually had to come off. The Fez manual says to remove the timing belt which is what I was worried about but if I can get it out without removing the ...

Hi mate,

Feroza F310. The water pump is held on behind the timing belt. Which is a PITA for someone who is still learning about mechanics.

Hi Guys. I think that my water pump is leaking so have decided it is time to pull it out and put a new one in. I've never dealt with timing belts before and am a bit worried about pulling it out and putting it back in again. Are there any hints and tips regarding getting the water pump out and back ...

Thanks mate. I'll be off to Burwood radiators for a chat on Tuesday and I'll check under the dizzy cap as well. Hopefully the water pump will turn up on MOnday and then I'll be set. I have a good spare battery kicking around at the moment so once the overheating is sorted it'll be dual battery time ...

Thanks MM, That makes a bit more sense to me. So what's the plan with the checking the dizzy is advancing at idle? Is there anything to watch out for (will I bugger anything up) if I just pull the dizzy out and check things that should move are moving etc. Should I give it a good clean with ...

Thanks RP. I think to get the car running and knowing me it will probrably stay like that forever I'll just run a switch into the cab and turn it on when it's up to temp and the thermostats open. Hopefully I'll be able to see the difference as soon as the switch is hit. Instead of extractors and a ...

Hey MM, that last post was way beyond my technical ability. I'd love to get out on a trip but the old fez hasn't moved since you were here last :cry: I've gone and bought an electric water pump as it seemed the cheapest of the options to try first. Davies Craig say that you should disconnect the ...

Ok here is some info. 1. clogged radiator Could be although this car did run OK for a while on this radiator. It doesn't have any visible crap in it and when it was out and dried it didn't have any flakey bits in it. 2. defective thermostat Have put a new one in that wasn't an original. I tested it ...

I've been on and off this board for years and my Fez has been on and off the road for the sameamount of time. Original problem was a cracked block due to overheating. I replaced the engine and the radiator which still didn't fix the problem. After bugging the mechanic for ages he put another engine ...

Hi PV, I haven't forgotten about you I've just been really busy. I'll try and get a quote for shipping. Ferozious - The interior door handle trims have gone already. I think I have everything else but will have to go out and have a dig through the pile. My sometimes working Feroza is not working ...

$50 and its all yours.
