Outer Limits 4x4 Board

MQ is a different beast. Still tough but on leaf springs not coils which of course means different chassis. Motors were different, transmissions also ! Doors were interchangeable & maybe some other bits but not as sought after as a GQ. Get a GQ if possible more comfort,more capable but more dollars ...

Hi Steven, On those figures the hydraulic is a winner, & that surprises me not. Is yours driven off the power steer pump, a separate belt driven pump , or a PTO. ? All types are or have been available ! I would love a PTO job, but very hard to find the Patrol PTO . They used them with the Patrol ...

Hi Stew, Thanks for the advice that Athol is still doing certificates.
I sent you a PM with my phone no. If you could pass this on to Athol he can ring me if he is interested Regards Ian.

G'day again, Checked the RTA list & found it most unhelpful. Very few listed,only one in Sydney that did light vehicles & qualified for body & chassis ! He dealt only in truck type gear. So no help from RTA. That guy however gave me the No. of someone that could help. Also was given a couple of ...

Thanks gents, Found the RTA list & 1 close by so will start there
Regards Ian.

I need a couple of small items on my GQ engineered. Larger items done by TIC at BBM open day ages ago. Can't get hold of them now. Any one have a recommendation in Sydney, north side would be nice ! Have had a seat change, a 1 inch body lift to incorporate a suspension brace, & this on top of ...

Thanks Clanky, this sounds right as there has been more than enough moisture in the air lately. I will watch the water level & check that I get no more bubbles at the mating surface. I may not have an issue. Thanks also re advice on gasket & VRS. & gasket thickness. Appreciated. I'll get on with the ...

TD42 Head gasket ? G'day all, Ihave drops of mpisture coming out the exhaust or my gq TD 42 . Have been just shifting it in & out of the shed while prepping it for paint , so running stone cold. Thought this produced moisture only in petrol motors. A while back ( and not much distance back ) I ...

Thanks for the continuing input, i am still chasing the cause but i am time p[oor so have not tried everything yet To answer some queries, it will happen down hill or uphill, it can be at almost any revs, most noticable of course under load but feels just like an electrical problem on a petrol ...

Igues it is appropriate that I can help here because I have just scored some help from you on my engine misfire! I have 2 alternators on my 88 TD 42 and it was cheap,easy and very effective. In fact Ithink it is the best set up for dual batteries and I have done it to other vehicles as well. I am no ...

Thanks for the input lads, Muddy Troll,As you have had exactly the same problem, I will be pulling those injectors out for a squint tomorrow. Also my engine hasa not been overheated during my ownership. Adam, i have also replaced the original fuel filter with a CAV,great minds think alike! Thanks ...

Thanks Adam, I will try cleaning the pick up filter, although I thought blowing right back into the tank from the fuel filter line with a workshop compressor would give me at least a temporary fix. I certainly had not considered the timing so that may also be worthwhile. Thanks for the tips. Ian

Have a 1988 TD42 GQ SWB, 268000km, has developed an engine miss when accelerating through the gears. It is not consistent, meaning it doesnt happen every time it is accelerating. It is almost like an electrical cutout as power picks up immediately after the missfire. To eliminate any possible ...
