Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I just bought a IFS 100 series for touring to replace my 80 that after 12 years of hard going has just had enough.
I am after advice on lift kits. I am after a modest lift. 2" or so. It will have both a steel front and rear bar,winch, etc.

anyone know any results yet??????

Something to try.Check you havnt got a dirty big vacuum leak.Look at the vacuum hoses running off No1 on the manifold first.Using some plyers clamp them shut one by one.Then try spraying some carby cleaner around the manifold gasket and carby base gaskets and see if it flares up.How did spark plug ...

dizzy is 180 degrees out


Thats interesting you say that as the old dizzy cap was 180 deg out so the notch on the front of the cap was not engaging in the lug so the cap could be moved . I installed the new cap so the locator sat in place and the cylinder numbers on the cap worked. Is there a ...

I am mucking around with a 18R in my daughters camper van. It is running on 3 cylinders at the moment. I have replaced the spark plugs, leads, dissy cap, rotor, adjusted the tappets and done a compression test on the motor.

Has anyone stuck a 3rd batt. in a 80 wagon. I am setting up to do a fue months in the bush and i will have 2 engels. One as a freezer. Both are 40l fridges. Has anyone done this? Any ideas would be great

Has anyone used RDA pads in a 80 series???
I saw them on ebay and have never heard of them.
Are they good quality??

I just put my battery charger on a flat battery and it is putting out 15.8 volts. Is that ok? It seems very high.
The battery was still winding over the engine but not quick enough to start it so its not dead flat. All the cells are bubbling , so there does not appear to be a dead sell.

Where do we find that???

Look at that blue sky, have not seen that down here for ages. See you sunday

lets not worry about weather we do or dont have to pay, at this late stage All I want to know is do we pay at the event or if not what is the best way to pay now so we have no problems when we get to the event

As the result of a lack of comunication I now have a spare ground anchor to sell. It is a race proven design and brand new. It is a single peice unit. Not collapsable. PM me for any further info.
Ok now its down to the shed to work on something we DO need for cliffhanger. THE CAR

Anyone got the part no. for the sector shaft from a GQ steering box? Or where I might find one?

I understand that this is the easiest way and I have allready done that. Now we have a 3 month old reco box with a broken sector shaft that I can fix with a new shaft and a new botom seal. The question is where can I get a new shaft????

Has anyone replaced a sector shaft in there steering box?
Where is the cheapest place to buy one???
How much would I exept to pay???

Thanks for your help. We got it off and have the bearing on order. Did not price it but it will be cheaper than $195 for a 2nd hand pump from the wreakers

I too have a head light problem with a 1990 75 series tray . The lights work fine for a while then when you hit a fue bumps everythings turns off. I have pulled the light switch apart and used contact cleaner . it all seems ok. If it was a wire shorting it should blow a fuse, it doesnt. All is ...

Beware the EVIL GQ



OK we will be careful
We are knocking a bit of rust off the gq and geting quotes on both an oil change and a new ...

The air con. pump has a noisey bearing in front pully. How do I get the front pully off pump???????

It does not sound like an electrical problem to me. If it was electrical it would play up on gas as well

Yes that is the idle mixture screw. My 88 carby dual fuel GQ runs fine on petrol. When I 1st got the car the carbys petrol pump was full of shit. The easiest fix was a 2nd hand carby fron the wreakers that had not been on gas and pull the petrol tank out and clean all the rust out of it. Keep the ...

I am no expert but try taking the idle mixture screw out and blowing air into the carby through the hole.Befoer removing the screw wind it all the way in and count the turns. Should be about 2 1/2 turns. This will give you a starting point when you replace it. Then start the engine on petrol and ...

I Dont know.
But you could take a Std bolt out , measure it , add 50mm to the length.
Should be close.

Thanks for your help, I will pull it apart today. And no I dont know that brave young computer nurd, BUT if he ever goes outside in the sun it would be nice to catch up with him

My wipers when you select intermittant give one wipe then stop. Is there a relay or something that might have packed up???
If so where might it be

Thanks Goodie. So close but not quite good enough. It was a fun way to spend a weekend.

I am hearing rumers there will be a show'n'shine in Warragul. Is this true and if so where and when????
