Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have an idea for the car PC that just came to me. I have seen USB ext cables that do not work with some devices. I noticed the CDrom only worked at USB1.1. speed. I have 3 ext cables and one doesn't work with my usb wifi network card but did work with a memory stick.
Wierd.
So he got the hundred ...

Dig a huge mud hole in your front lawn and leave the car in it.

You have fun recovering the car every morning and it would take a very determined theif to take it from your house.

Seriously, Cut a hole in the back of your seat and place a taser in it when you leave, triger on pressue in the ...

A water tank with a soap dispenser. I saw someone with this once, Thought it was a great idea.

Struts that come down from all four corners and lifts the wheels off the ground.
Or a controlled clutch type thing that disables the drive shaft/transfer case/gear box (disconnects it.),

They could start it but couldn’t move it.

Something that disconnects your clutch cable or accelerator ...

I want to buy a HZj105 with the right stuff. And I have a Hilux to sell.

Pitty its a 95LUX.

Thanks for the tips guys. I gave up pumping the primer after about 60 pumps as it wasn't getting any harder, although it did make it easier to start cold .. I think the primer must have a leak in it.

Will try and pick up one of those replacement CAV systems with a glass bowl. Does anyone know of ...

Keep pumping it untill you cannot do it anymore, It should become that firm its to hard to pump it. and it should stay hard.

If you can press it down too easily you have an air leak or a broken pump letting air in.

Even when I replace the fuel filter it doesn't take any longer to start the car ...

I have the same spring lift and now just clear the front after moving the diff and bashing the wall back a little and I have 32"

Good artice on Conservo.

Where the fuel comes from.

Where you the only one to own the truck. It could have had a very restfull past life.

It might not be just Fuel gunk, It could be rust from the fuel tank.
If sitting for a while with a little water in the tank it could rust.

Bio will get rid of the rust over time two.
Others have put a cheeper prefilter to improve the life of the standard filter untill the BIO gets rid of the crap ...

About a Week ago I put in B20 for the first time, second day conservo was open ...

Just went there today (Tuesday 21/8), and they are out of B100, wont get anymore untill late in the week.

Bugger. I should not have told everyone.

How many of you have filled up with B20 or B100 in the last few weeks.?

I have a ln106 95. Mine pulls a little but nothing like you are saying.
On a dead flat road it will even go straight.
I have 32" tyres and have moved the front diff forward 2 inches,
and I took off the stering wheel and moved it so it would look straight when driving straight. It can also track ...

I have now filled up my 2.8 Lux 3 times from that servo with B100 and once with B20. I was there the second day they opened. :cool:

I have now replaced my fuel filter as he power was dropping, now back to normal.

One other thing to note its Gell point is -10, Should be good for the snow.

The ...

When mine went, It was the pully seized.
I had smoke comming in from the belt.
I cut the belt and replaced the pully. All good.

Also the PS pump on the belt moves if not secured by both bolts and it can break off one of the bolts. I had replaced it twice before I gave up and put a nut and bolt in ...

No I meant resemble.

Just being funny.

Yep the 2.8 is a slug but will get you there if you need to.

Strip most thing off it and it will still run.
My even runs when you take out the key sometimes.

Righto, had a look at it today and overall it seems quite good. The only problem (so far) is that it uses oil. The guy reckons it uses about 1/2 a litre every 4K, is that just due to a worn motor or do lux's tend to eat a bit iof oil?


sounds fairly tyical if driven anything like spearhead2 does ...

I would if I could keep it at the 100k speed limit up a slight uphill.

Thanks for you other advise.

Dyno Data:
Injection timing WAS .56 NOW .92
WAS 36HP NOW 48HP
WAS 280lb NOW 320lb

I think alot of it comes back to service history and how it's been driven
For overheating the olny time i've been in one and it's got hot was fully loaded up cunninghams gap and we later found out between the radiator and ac radiator there was a build up of mud
Also have you replaced the thermostat ...

My 2.8D has 195K on the clock, bought it at 185K 4 Years ago.

I have replaced:
Alt.
Starter. (Sparks from the batt conection right through the grill.) Batt OK.
Rad
Air con comp
Air con condenser
Power stear Pully
Glow Plugs.
Timing belt. (thought I should)
front wheel bearings.
Center bearing ...

I am planning to sell my 95 ln106 DC 2.8D Lux as soon as I get another job. 195K Rear Locker 32" BFG MT, Bars all round, Front Diff moved forward, Ranch adjustable shocks. 2inch lift, High lift mount, Spotties, Tourno cover.

But I do want top dollar as I want to buy a 95 - 97 80's Multi TD
It has ...

Does the engine have to at temp to see the bubbles, because when cold there is none.

The shroud around the fan looks to be in tact. I seem to recall when we took out the RAD is was a two piece and it went back in.

The fan moves by hand easy but not freely. there is gentle pressue againt movement ...

The only things in front is the Arb bull bar (no winch) and a pair a hella 160's.
And the Aircon radiator.
I have pulled out the radiator not long ago and it was fine no blocked fins etc. I like a bit of mud but havent gone wheeling for a while so no mud is possible,

I think its has to be a cracked ...

how hard should it be?
