checked the gas levels and they are fine. Im now thinking a fuse under the bonnet. A large green rectangular block one. Can these be replaced?

No luck with getting to look at the hub yet. Will pull apart wednesday.

I will get the gas levels tested this weekend to confirm this. I dont believe that the clutch is actually engaging but im checking up on this. I believe it may be a broken fuse (large green one under the bonnet). As for the hubs, the problem is that i cant get the hub into the unlocked position. Its ...

My GQ Aircon wont turn on and my free wheeling hub is locked

Hi all, Have been using my aircon a fair bit lately however it has decided to stop working for whatever reason. I push the A/C button in on the dash and the blue light behind the switch turns on etc however no cold air comes on (as though the compressor is not engaging). Is it possible that a fuse ...

After a brief inspection/test drive, my automatic transmission guy has confirmed that my automatic gearbox is "dicked" again and that the clutch has gone. He suggests that its because of the 285/75/16 MT117 Sport Mudders that i run as a daily driver and the stress they have put on the auto box. I ...

Have checked the fluid levels and they are all fine and i have made all adjustments to make sure that it is actually slotting into the right gear. Off to the transmission mechanic who did the initial job on Saturday morning.

Just in time for my new 35's.... :lol:

Im definately in drive when i put it in "d". The automatic transmission guy seems to think is a switch located on the side of the actual gearbox itself, not the gear stick

My car wont take off in Drive "D"

Only just recently (after having a full auto gear box rebuild) my GQ doesnt want to take off in drive. I can take off in 1st or 2nd and then finally drive but if i try to take off in Drive it just revs up. Also, when i come to a stop, the gearbox jumps out of drive and straight into neutral. My ...

I have auto hubs on my Ti GQ Patrol and lately when in 4x4 (when under heavy pressure eg boggy sand or uphill mud) they seem to clunk and almost disengage and engage themselves. Is this a clear sign that i have to replace them with manual hubs?

Thanks Rovernaut for your reply. As noted correctly i do have an EFI system. So where would i find the fuel valve or the injector "O" rings. I dont have allot of mechanical knowhow but is the job relatively easy to fix. Also, could this be a cause for fuel leaking out of the tank when i go to fill ...
