Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks Geoffro
I know Sam made them,wasn't sure if he was still doing them or not,or if anyone else was doing similar still?

Thats where I got mine for my rangie.
from Geoff

Haven't heard lately,so just wondering if slotted front bushes are still available,to suit a Defender?

I find the green Disco quite interesting,seems to have a lot of front articulation,be interested to know what it has done to it.

And of course in amongst all these heavily modified vehicles,I see there is a nearly standard rangie riding shotgun

any normal 80w/90w gear oil

but you shouldnt have to use warranty on these things all the time.. They shouldnt fail, you shouldnt 'hear similar problems'..... Ranchos are the same.. I say stick to proven things like OME, or KONI's... Koni maybe but we took 8 vehicles across the simpson and the only vehicles that didn't have ...

thats great but our uhf system works above 439mhz so unless you wanna do some mods to the radio and then you get problems with channel hold etc we have made similar mods to freinds yaesu and you end up with shit quality tx/rx on the the std uhf radio system[/quote] You are absolutely correct about ...

whereas if you want a really good handheld UHF radio you could always get an ALINCO DJ-V5E that will transmit from 87.5MHz - 439.995MHz and has much better receive sensitivity and a mass more functions that you can play with

If they make it an ADR then it can't be made retrospective.BUT an ADR takes precedence over an engineers certificate every time.It will more than likely become an RTA regulation,testable by RTA and local police.

Over advanced ignition timing will give that symptom,will also effect the idle.

Personally I think the problem occured because of dickie looking lights mounted above the bullbar

Davis performance Landies (previously John Davis motorworks) have been supercharging V8 rovers for years.I seem to remember that John drove a Green supercharged Rangie around for quite some time.And also sold a number to the Saudis including the royal family,that were extremely well performed.

according to my genuine workshop manual,it lists the following for the LT95. Fourth 1:1 Third 1.505:1 Second 2.448:1 First 4.069:1 Reverse 3.664:1 Transfer ratios Gearbox suffix A&B,..........

Agree. Pneumatics are much easier to trouble shoot. There is generally a sound coming from where the problem is - unlike with electrics. Electrics are much easier.... Follow your eyes or nose to where the smoke comes out. Bingo, there's your problem! Ahhhhh yes, but try and put the smoke back in

You can not over rule an A.D.R. even with an engineers certificate.If you have rims wider than 8" and had an accident where the coroner became involved in the investigation and they found the rims had been engineered,then the engineer that passed them would be charged.A federal rule will always take ...

I have been in the trade for over 30 years and still have ste same tools I started with. What about all the tools the apprentices lost ? (left in engine bays etc) Apprentices only use my tools for the first 3 months,then they loose their own And all my tools have their own place,so I know when they ...

Unfortunately,with tools you usually get what you pay for.I suggest that if you are going to buy easy outs or taps and dies etc that you consider spending a little more initially and buy something like Starrett or Snap On.And no I have no affiliation with either.But I have been in the trade for over ...

I just had a look online in the Melbourne yellow pages and found these 2 places that may be able to help you out Thread Doctor The 4 Floral Gardns Narre Warren South VIC 3805 ph: 0419 507 633 Recoil 20 Stamford Rd Oakleigh VIC 3166 ph: (03) 9567 3377 Cheers Wayne

The correct order to do the bleeding on rear wheel drives with split system brakes is longest run first then working down to the shortest run.ie NSR,OSR,NSF,OSF on a landy

you might look in the yellow pages under fasteners/industrial,I just checked in the Sydney yellow pages and found a few thread repair guys

Bill,I learned at a very ealy stage of my careerhaving seen a few tradesmen create problems for themselves,when I was working for Mercedes.Glad that I may have been able to shine a small bit of light on this subject,I have read all your postings on subjects regarding Landrovers,and even as a ...

Over the years I have had quite a few brake master cylinder failures after replacing disc pads on early rangies and 110's. When fitting new pads you must push the caliper pistons further back into their bores to accomodate the thicker material of the new pads. After doing this if you push on the ...

I would first remove the starter and try and turn it over by hand,just incase the starter is fouling.If that is ok,then I would loosen the bellhousing bolts and move the gearbox back a little bit and then try and turn the engine over.

I looked at the 34/9.5/16 closely,I know they will fit easily,but was more concerned with the effect on the gearing as the diff ratios are standard and the fact that I only have a Maxi Drive in the rear.I was originally going to get Simex ETs in 32/9.5/16 which are actually 33" tall,but am able to ...

Looking at buying some TSLs,looking at 32s or33s,have looked on the Interco web site and found that they list a 32/9/16 that is listed with a tread width of only 8.5" and a sectional width of 8.8".Also they list a 32/10/16 with a tread width of 9" and a sectional width of 10.1" BUT a height of only ...

Well I can tell you that they don't work real great in Rangies for long either

Micko you have selected shocks from the top shelf either way you go.Most of the bilsteins that you wil find are gas type shocks,the Konis on the other hand will mostly be oil types.You can get Koni gas as well,and you can get Konis in adjustables as well.Koni have just released 2 new model shocks ...

My choice would be that you have either a seized or stuffed universal joint.don't just get under and feel the joints for play.Take the shafts out and check to see if the unis move freely as well as haveing no freeplay.

You also need to know about repeater useage on UHF.Normally used on channels 1-8. What happens is that you actually transmit and receive on different frequencies when the repeater/duplex button is pushed.Your signal will go to a repeater tower in your area,then be retransmitted on the frequency that ...

As Murcod mentioned,I too was always taught to tin the wire before soldering.I still use this principle when soldering thin wires or electrical components.Except when connecting wires about 10mm or thicker to terminals.The connections that are used on Anderson plugs have to be extremely good as ...

Yes, I've soldered some of the larger ones before..... Crimping is the better way to go as the connection is less likely to suffer from vibration/ flexing and break the wire strands over time. I used to work on electric forklifts,and we were always having trouble with crimped connections onto the ...
