Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks Macca81!!

for reliability though I would use 24/12 voltage reducer for this kind of situation...

it sounds like the headlight switch... lasers dont have a relay I think and this is the problem, all the load of the high beams run through the switch contacts and over time they get dirty and burnt and once there is a load on your headlight switch you will loose all lights...

most switchs can be ...

All fixed... thanks for the help!

Just soldered it up with soft solder and it worked a treat!

I couldve got another tank no worries but didnt want to stuff around pulling it out!

thanks!

Ive got a small pin hole leak in my petrol tank on my GQ, obviously its a petrol model but can the hole be welded up? all it needs is a zap with a mig but can you safely weld on a fuel tank?

any tips or anything?

thanks!

if your worried about expense dont get a Jet fire! they work well and heat the shed up quick but they drink the Gas! I go through a 9kg bottle getting maybe 3-4 nights in the shed max!

Check for hot connections on your battery cables or terminals and earth points etc, a hot connection is a bad point, dirty or poor connection you loose current, if battery leads themselves are getting hot your starter may be drawing excessive current...

Try running one side of a set of jumper leads ...

If you get stuck waandy give me a yell and i could have a look for you anyway after work or something as im in Traralgon...

alt should be charging at about 14.4v while car is running if not then ur alt is not good.

14.4v is a border line high... most cars with a bit of age wont reach 14v due to voltage drop in plugs etc... 13.5v is acceptable, obviously higher the better, but even with a new alternator you probably ...

Big call buddy... over the internet 1800dialanautoelec diagnosis?

I would be leaning towards battery... but thats just me...

$20 is a good price, we used to charge $25 each so 20 is good!

Properly serviced injectors will be ultra sonic bathed, flowed, new pintle caps, orings and filter baskets... people who get there injectors cleaned while still in the car is a load of crap!

just check what a new set is worth from ...

Battery will also do it if battery voltage is down... Alternator is charging so try charging your battery on a charger and not relying on your alternator to bring your battery back up cause it will never happen... little charger a couple of days and a big charger over night... give it a good charge ...

I have an auto Patrol and im really suprised how good it is, tows my camp trailer good and is just good all round... obviously not as good as a manual if you are bogged etc but I just avoid getting bogged!!

I thought the auto's had a little more torque than the manuals when I test drove and was ...

VE , holden spec oil brand not known. Both engines suffered lifter prob. First one No 4 pot. Second engine not sure.

VE uses the L98 6 Lt I believe not the L76
Hoppy

l76 has afm, l98 does not i beleive. Auto ve's have afm manual do not.

cheers bru

Manual VE's do ...

brake clean works fairly well, we use it at work when we get stuff on customers cars we shouldnt like oil and grease and air con dye (funky stuff!), there is also Graffiti remover you can get from Mitre 10 that says it wont hurt the original paint...

I have a set on my GU, had them on there a while and they are wearing well, they clear themselves well and seem to be doing well in the rocks and stuff.. next time ill get a set of Mickey T's, there a bit cheaper but were unavailable at the time i needed tyres...

ahhh thanks Scott,

Do patrol rims fit on Pajeros? Mitsubishi sunnies are dear compared to patrol ones!

My dad has a 1991 NH Pajero and ive got a set of 265/70/16 tyres off my GU patrol that I was going to get some 16" rims and chuck the tyres on the Pajero

Will these fit under the guards etc? will it affect performance etc to much?

Yeah ive noticed it doesnt seem to have any drain holes so I might have to drill one..

I rang Paul from Tigerz11 today and he said it is ok to mount it the way I have, Need to say thanks to Paul for answering the phone on Good friday!

It seems to be a good winch though and everything seems to be ...

Im just putting my new "Tigerz11" winch on my GU and having never installed a winch before dont really know what im doin!

I wanted the winch cable to wind like off the bottom of the winch drum when winching or free spooling out but because of my bullbar design ive had to mount the winch lower than ...

im looking at buying a GPS for 4x4ing, what should I get? I want some idea before I go looking, dont want anything crap but it doesnt need to be the best either!

Thanks!

Hey, my old man has a 91 Pajero and ive got a set of 245/70/16's off my patrol that I was gonna put on it, Can you get 16x7 wheels for a Pajero? His in 91 but I guess other ones will fit??

Has anyone got a set they want to sell?

My old man has a 91 2.5 turbo diesel and he's wanting to know the engine oil capacity

Anyone know? thanks!

My old man just brought a 91 Pajero 2.5 diesel, the front seems to sit a bit lower than the back, do they have a torsion bar you can crank up or something to make it sit a bit higher? any ideas? and if it does how do you do it?

Never had a front independant 4WD before so dont know much about them ...

im looking at getting a GU and ive noticed the 2.8s seem to be fairly cheap? are they any good? anything i should watch out for? we are going to be doing central australia next year so I want to make sure whatever we get can cut it....
