Disregard if we're talking petrol, here's my experience with the diesel. The Bad, Gearbox is a piss-weak old Sigma box, mine blew at 170K 4M40 Fuel economy is shitful! After fitting a turbo it's better but still worse that my comparitively massive and heavy 4.2TD Troopy Service costs are high due to...

I recently replaced my clutch (4terrain in a HJ75), along with the thrust bearing. Now i get a chirp/squeak when i put a tiny bit of pressure on the pedal, and even sometimes when there's no pressure. There is no noise when i put a decent amount of pressure on the clutch. Does anyone have any idea ...

stoo2 what pressure do you run into the diffs and has it worked both front and rear? Thinking of doing the same to the Disco, sick of rusted bearings. Going to connect it to the Sanden AC compressor system that is hooked up to an old water extinguisher fitted above the rear diff and which has worke...

I bought a cheap 240v compressor mainly for the tank and pressure switch, A hella socket can be made to fit into the pressure switch casing, mine works well, but I just chuck it in the back of the troopy, I'm going to mount it under the car as there is plenty of room. It shuts off power to the Max-a...

4M40 Diesel is slow and incredibly thirsty, it uses more fuel than my 4.2TD Troopy. I fitted an aftermarket turbo, power is good now but economy still shite. The gearbox is an old Sigma unit, Mine went at 170,000km. it's crap off road due to IFS but otherwise I'm really happy with mine, I was gonna ...

I have a Troopy as well. About 6 weeks ago, before a Toolangi drive I was gonna do the same thing but we didn't get time. I fitted an inclinometer as I too am paranoid about putting it on it's side. My biggest dilemma was what to tie the strap onto to limit how far it leans, we thought we'd chuck a ...

That's my troopy, it's a 78 series ( has 75 tail lights ). I just welded a chuck of 100 x 100 3mm wall steel to the back of the towbar, then had the lot powdercoated and then screwed a bit of alloy floor plate on the top, It'll be easy to weld a wheel carrier on, I'll do that eventually but the whe...

Re: cutting alluminiun plate
I've got a 30mm thick 300 x 300 sheet of structual alloy, 5xxx series ? I've heard talk of using a drop saw ( timber blade type ) to cut alloy window frame sections - question is, will a drop saw cope cutting thick plate ? Anyone done it ? I've never cut thicker than about 12mm, and usually I'm cut...
