Outer Limits 4x4 Board

She must be a stunner so you can get to the next motel quick, you have a clump foot or you need a tune-up. But seriously, I have first hand knowledge of people who have the 4.5, start the 'round oz trip, bail out and go home, trade in for a diesel and start again 18 months later. They are a very ...

Talk to a few diesel experts in your area. One thing that annoyed me the most about them was that they didn't want to talk about the problem or help diagnose it buy asking questions, it was a gruff $2500, $2000 or $1800, the black art of diesel injection i suppose. I narrowed it down to two and one ...

Sorry Joelt I have been out of town, I took my pump and injectors out of the car myself and handed them to the experts. I live in Weipa and was going on holidays to Cairns and picked them up on the way out. The total cost was $1535 for everything. I didn't have any fuel leaks at all, but your other ...

Joelt, I have had similar problems, won't start, stalling when hot, stalling at idle when hot when ac clicks in etc. Grey/White smoke in start up, but went fairly well when cruising. Took the thimble filter out of the inj. pump, added a CAV filter, checked the glow plugs, everything. Finally had to ...

Dobinson's is good stuff, I live in Weipa and drive to Cairns often, in comfort. It's good to know I can just hop in the ute or the wagon go to Cairns or go camping and take off and not worry and know I will get back.

Sent you a pm Fnqcairns

Hello Hoonz,

What do you suggest. I use my Nissan as an everyday vehicle. It takes me to work, goes down south to buy bulk meat and essential items they rip you off with up here and goes camping. It has to be reliable, no point only able to get there, you must come back as well.

Thanks Bogged, This isnt going put undue wear and tear on the vehicle? it did look strange. But if it's comfortable and going to last half a dozen trips to Cairn's a season, usually driving at night. And camping and hunting trips around the Cape I will enquire about lifting everything up. Funny ...

Sorry Heathx4, I should have pointed out that this particular GQ had 33"s on, perhaps even bigger. To me this vehicle would be at home doing the slower rock crawling courses near bigger towns and cities. This vehicle was doing it tough, and is going to fatigue very quickly doing long stretches at ...

One of the times l was driving out to Cairns last dry season, l live in Weipa. I passed a GQ Patrol Wagon just north of Hahn River Roadhouse which is notorious for corrigations and dust holes, that must of had about six inches of lift under it at least. As I was Patroling past I noticed the front ...

Hello buger man, I have had a similar problem with my GU with the same specs. First of all i changed the fuel and air filters, drained the fuel tanks, added a CAV filter before the standard fuel filter, new fuel lines from the CAV etc, replaced the tiny little thimble filter inside the injector pump ...
