Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The air that comes out of the vents is about 4degrees so it is cold enough and all the vacuum lines have been replaced so the vents work perfectly. I dont want to put the defender set up in because there is only limited room in the car as it is.

I have finally sorted out the air con in my County but I was wondering if there are any alternatives for the standard fan that is in the engine bay as it doesn't push the air out as hard as it could. Is there a replacement fan or does anyone have any ideas as to how I can increase the fan speed ...

Is it possible to convert drum to disc brake on a salisbury diff on a 85 County?
If so will the brake line on the vehicle screw straight in to the caliperon the disc?
What parts will I need apart from the obvious eg. different stub axle, wheel bearings ect?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Does anyone out there have a spare or can point me in the direction as to where I can get one.

Would it be worth fixing the Aircon that is already installed in my car minus the compressor or ould I be better off installing one of those units that mount under the dash or on the roof. I have heard that the standard County air is pretty crappy so if I go with an under dash or roof mounted blower ...

Cheers for the info Ben. Looks like I will just do the MD upgrade at a later date with the gear I am running.

Can someone tell me what the standard ratios are in an 85 County?
Are they3.54 or 4.7?

If it is 3.54 where can I get a 4.7 centre for the front diff as I am looking at buying a rear maxi drive diff complete with the 4.7ratio?

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't the CV's on this particular model a lot stronger than the later models?

I had the same problem with mine firstly I tried to get some of that silicon oil in there but they are a sealed unit. I ended up locking up the clutch fan using a concave washer of a shock absorber in between the fan and the retaining bolt and the Rangie has been running cool as ever since.

I had to make a new one today after the weekend. I used 5mm thick steel and just made the same configuration as the originals. I use hose clamps at the top of my springs so they don't dislocate and I haven't had a problem with them coming away from the top of the perch.

I made some additions to the set I made last week. http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album400/aal.sized.jpg http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album400/aam.sized.jpg http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album400/aan.sized.jpg More pics at the following link. m

I just made up some rock sliders for my Rangie it took about a day but the price was right as it only cost me $60 in materials. http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album400/aaa.sized.jpg http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album400/aab.sized.jpg http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album400/aac.sized.jpg ...

I didn't find this trip report until today, here are some more pics and a link to all of the pics for the day http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album380/aat.sized.jpg http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album380/abg.sized.jpg http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album380/abt.sized.jpg http://www.4wdlinks ...

You're on the right track, heat gun, hard plastic scraper and use some metho on them before hand to soften them up. Then once you have the outer skin off and there is the left over adhesive underneath use more metho or better still at this stage use eucalyptus oil to rub the rest of the glue off ...

Have you tried http://www.british4wd.com/ it will probably be less even with postage. Repco in my opinion are very expensive I have used british4wd before and they are very helpful and usually cheaper than anywhere else. Rangie spares are in Vic from memory. Do a search through Yahoo or Google you ...

Is your RR EFI or carb, if carb, what sort?

It's carbi CD 175's. It's a 4.6 short motor.

I had the radiator pulled out and cleaned the other day but it is still getting hot. I have put a new thermostat in and a new temp gauge. It statrts to overheat on hot days when the A/C is on but as soon as I turn the A/C off the temp starts to come down within 1-2 minutes. The clutch fan does have ...

G'day all, I use 14.8" travel rancho's on the rear of my d100 with a sailsbury diff. I made custom shock mounts and made an adaptor for the bottom which is basicly a U bracket with a bolt in the bottom to convert from pin to eye. I have OME 2" lift springs all round. On full drop the uni did bind ...

Maybe the auto choke is sticking on.

The following is a list of things HSV Rangie has done in the way of axle conversion. Does anyone know of a place in Sydney that can do these mods start to finish. Yes have fitted toy diff centres to RR along with jacmac 30 spline axles and toy/longfield cv's. Cost: Axles: front $500..00 set Rear ...

The radiator is coming out some time this week for cleaning and rodding.
As far as I know the clutch fan is fine how can I tell if it is stuffed as it is spinning when the engine is on and speeds up at higher revs?

DAS wrote:is it using water? hows the waterpump? belts tight ??

No it's not using coolant and the belts are tight.

Since the weather has got warmer my Rangie has been running hot. I have flushed the radiator checked the condition of the cooling fins and they look fine and I have replaced the thermostat. I am running a good quality coolant and I also have a thermo fan on the front as well as the one running off ...

Thanks for the responses guys it has put a whole new light on the subject.
Next question does anyone know of a place in Sydney preferably in the Windsor/Penrith area that tune SU carbs?

I just checked the the compression on the block it is 8.37:1 is this the low compression engine?

Would anyone know the correct timing for a 4.6l engine running on twin carbi's and electronic ignition?

The Rangie I bought a few months ago has a 4.6l motor in it runnining on the twin carbi set up. I just had a thought would the carbi's on it be off the old 3.5l motor if so this would severely hinder the performance of the vehicle wouldn't it? If htis is the case is there a carbi set up for the 4.6l ...
