Outer Limits 4x4 Board

So, can you tell us how much the rebuild was?

Just curious as I have the same motor and would like to get shocked before something like this happened (touching wood)

thanks - Lyall

Don't thing there is any drama. Can't remember rightly but belive its the cold air condensing as it enters the cabin. Something like that.

I also think that people climatise to the airconditioning but I'm sure they have to work hard when the heat is extreme.

I'd go with the water pump then. The veins can corride after sometime and only be working at half-grunt.

Make sure you've got no bubbles coming out the top of the raditor when you rev it. I drove my swb '81 diesel patrol around for about 12 moths without any thermostat but didn't realise that the head gasket was on the way out. Sold it, the bloke had to source a new head etc$$$. I did however notice ...

I average around the 15/100kpm, nearly to the mark. I do have to replace the air filter, which is pretty dirty, so this may improve things. But I knew about heavy 4wds chew the fuel. I had a SWB '81 Nissan Patrol 3.3 diesel, non turbo. Gee it used rev well but it also was pretty thirsty.

So ...

Steering going back to centre I wouldn't call “woeful”. If you had to fight the wheel to turn a corner, well, I’d call that woeful.

My comment about the "fourth post" was regarding this thread not the entire board . Pick away on grammatical errors! If that excites you, be my guest.

The fact ...

Spend some more time exploring this board, and read a few of the other threads on auto-lockers vs switched lockers (ARB or other...)

There's a significant number of highly experienced 4wders on this board who have had autolockers, and didn't like the steering compromises. Even some who have ...

LOL - You guys just believe if it isn't an ARB that there couldn't be possibly anything as competitive.

It doesn't take Einstein to work out if the front wheels lock, but just to clarify for those obtuse few: yes, they are definitely working. When placing the Super Select into, what would have ...

I said it before and I'll say it again, there is NO woeful steering when using a LOKKA. I cannot see ANY compromise in steering. Turning circle seems fine.

Rob, I did send you a reply to your email address.

Hi Tonka,

Can we get duplicates of the Shellcard?

Hi All,

I've heard those agruments before that Lokkas are cheap imposters of Lockright but if you do some searches you'll see that people have had lokkas in the front of their cars for years, with no lack of performance.

Of course all the ARBers will tell you that you get what you pay for but ...
