Outer Limits 4x4 Board

they may be held in with a fair bit of slicaflex

repair the seal first, I have found redline oil to be very good, bit exy on price thru, other wise penrite oil is good . oil recomendations here http://www.datateck.com.au/Lube/PenriteAus/default.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

if you go to http://www.penriteoil.com.au/oil_selector.php and fill in the details, it will give you all the amounts and recomened oil to use

i found the pro-comp x-terrains to wear really well, trying out a set of wranglers atm, but havnt had em long enought yet

winch first, as it will get you out of trouble, where a locker can get you further into trouble

thanks for the reply, turned out the airflow meter shut the car down, once i disconected the airflow meter, it started on gas, so at least its driveable now

80 series, petrol gas 4.5 did a diagonstic check on the car, came up with airflow meter problem, now car wont start on gas or petrol, no engine check light is on when i turn on the ignition, Can anybody give me some ideas ??

my main switch panel for the eletric windows has stopped working, does anybody know which terminals i have to jump to get the drivers window up and down so i can put in a temp switch while i wait for the part to arrive.

cant see a problem , i am using one that i picked up on ebay for around $5 and it works great. It has been sitting on the roof for 2 years now and is still working.

was wheeling with a mate in his 89 patrol, when going down a steep hill, his front made a lound bang. He seems to still have 4wd without any aparent noise, any ideas of what happened ??.

figures are about what i get, but mine sometimes drop to about 350 for some reason

Running the old pattern atm, have only done 1 trip on them, but was impressed in the way they handled rock and loose shale aka walhalla, havnt had a chance to test them in mud yet. Hoping to get a set of the new pattern when they hit our shores
will be interesting to test them out

why mesure the temp in the sump, there is a mixture of hot and cooled oil, it would be like mesuringing the engine from the bottom tank of the radiator. I would prefer to get the oil reading at the hottest point as this is the acutal temp of the transmission

if fitting a trans temp guage It is very important to fit the sender into the transmissions out going cooler union that the oil uses when leaving the transmission on it's way towards the oil cooler and we needed to measure the temperature before it was cooled and not after. There are 2 good reasons ...

Might be as simlpe as a cracked uni joint, mine 80 was doing a similar noise, it was a metal tinging noise that dissapeared when i lifted my foot.

the main points are rust in the fire wall, rust along 3rd row windows, rust in rear window. Cv jounts, Backlash in the driveline(full time 4wd) but a very easy fix. Power steering box leaks, Dont expect the lsd diff to work, leaking hub seals, I have had and heard of instances of the 4 bots on the ...

Heres a link to look at, was just donr recently

[quote="oldmate"]looking at the website the price isn't that enticing either

"Kit prices range from $735 to $885 + GST"

that will get you a cheap electric winch.


But if you have to add on the price of a winch Bar to that price, it gets very expensive.

I think the problem might be that all tanks have an 80% fill valve. During hot weather, the gas in the tank may expand by up to 250% . Therefore the valve is sensinging that the tank is full , when it isnt.

I had a similar problem with mine, turned out to be the radiator core, I got the radiator joint to pull the tanks off to clean it properly, and when they did the core feel apart. It looked normal when it was togather, and showed no signs of being in this condition. I havnt had a problem since ...

Why ???, Its a big motor, thirsty as hell, and repairs are expensive. V6 or v8 conversion would be the go

i would agree that if you only want to spend $200 go the overlander, but in my experience lead plate batteries dont like the vibration and shakes of off raod driving. Gel or fibermat batteries are better suited to off road work.

wouldnt worry about it too much, sounds like you cought it nice and early

wont work otherwise...

why do you need lockers , if you look into the product properly, it is 1 rope that runs between both wheels, negates the need for a locker.

had this after i drowned my 80, alternator will cause this, so can a loose alternatior belt.

in theroy, the winch works really well, we have done a lot of testing on it, and have found a few problems with it. not really suited to the bush, more for the tourer who dosnt want the weight of a winchbar/winch not recomended to use on front wheels would hate to fit it in a boghole time consuming ...

another thing you can do is to use plenty of silicone on every removeable part, including where the power leads bolt onto.
