Outer Limits 4x4 Board

For those who care I have figured it out.
Turn on the key, while distance to next service & spanner symbol are displayed (in 1st few seconds) depress the button until the distance numerals start to blink then release. Then with every press of the button the distance will start to increase, don't ...

Is this as you turn on the ignition cos it doubles as dash light dimmer when not pushed in while turning

Just thought i would share, I have a 1990 ford fairlane on LPG stock std in the family that had a new battery going DEAD flat over night some nights not all. It has auto off interior lights & a head lights left on warning so pretty much idiot proof, car was checked & tested so back to auto elec with ...

I can reset the flashing spanner but can't change the km's from 1000 to something else.
Have tried depressing the trip reset while turning on the ignition which resets it but turning it like the manual says doesn't alter km's, have tried a number of possible combo's but no cigar. :bad-words: :bad ...

Hmmm can't believe no one on here knows, wow that's a 1st. What about a web site others have had success with this kind of question maybe. Dealer says I have to bring it in & hook up to pc which will have a charge for doing so, I have heard this is incorrect. No surprise there. :roll:
Anyhow will ...

Have a D40 Navara diesel & need to alter the service interval indicator, have worked out how to get rid of the service due now flashing spanner but can't alter the kilometer amount. Have searched through the topics but couldn't find an entry. Thanks in advance.

My series 1 GU did same thing & it was the unit in the drivers door had come loose & would do only 1 thing, open or close can't remember. Remove door skin carefully & have a look.

Nice looking unit, a lot of work has gone into that interior, dash etc looks very good. Well done dude nice blue also. Have been thinking of cutting my long wagon into a mid base with A frame rear 5 link front, one day maybe! Nice rig that!

I wouldn't pull the auto hub appart as they can be terrible things to reassemble

Hey jok my GU does same as you described, when the van is pluged in and fridge on the fuel gauge reads 1/4. It has shit me for 8 years, you say earth body to chassie better. Gunna try this.

The access to the bearing nut with auto hub removed isn't any better with the wheel removed. If you change to GU lock rings tighten the inner one to 40 lbs with tention wrench. (you will have to make yourself a tool with socket drive to fit wrench) I run 36" tyres & no bearing probs.

You don't need to remove the wheel to adjust but i bet he forgot to bend over the lock tab. The old saying if you want it done properly bla bla

Easiest way to tell is remove allen key bolts that secure the auto hub unit take it off (make sure its in auto mode and not engaged) then repeat the movements. Nothing will spill out and wont hurt it. They can be odd units sometimes those hubs making funny noises for no reason.

Don't get me wrong not having a winge (sounds like it) cos we can't tell someone how to hold an event and with what rules but perhaps we should take steps forward maybe, i guess tho's who havn't just bought 36's can't see what the fuss is i spose. But it will be (correct me if i am wrong) the only ...

36's are ok for navruns navnites obc etc etc i think maybe hmmm dunno if i enter i have to replace the winch rope (9 mm B line) that my low mount hauled me into 3rd outright in navnite and replace the 36's and fork out $4000 to fix its damage from last event (no ones fault but mine). Tap tap tap on ...

So is the list of requirements sent to Patrolpaul from Henry incorrect, cos that says 36.5".

I thought it read 36.5" tall and can you do this if you have competed in OBC and were do you get entry form from. Bummer can't use my 9mm B line winch rope.

Well holly crap we must have missed some fun on ss2, we did hear of an 80 series having clutch trouble & witnessed the other 80 loosing the spare but didn't know of what all the fuss was about with the marshals etc. I was told this arvo I should check the web sight, wow lots of opinions flying left ...

My 4500 fat GU is no rocket ship but is quicker in the sand at Robe than a GQ wagon fitted with GEN III that i dragged off, i think the owner was as surprised as i but it wasn't very quick. They might be quick in a 1500kg vehicle but not when they are in a 3t 4wd. Shit a super charged Gen III would ...

How would you like 220kw at the wheels using 35" tyres, kw depend on how much you spend. Do it youself & get it wrong & you will pay a huge price, get it done by someone who has sorted all the probs. www.ontrack4x4.net.au

Oops yeh got me

I know what you meen about the sound, there is nothing quite like the sound of hot 4x4 going sick up a big hill with lockers in & shit flying everywhere, i hear my petrol six on video & want to mute it. But other things to consider are cooling the donk & ratio's, but you said your a spanner man so ...

Nah if it were a cruiser there wouldn't be a bow wave cos all forward movement would'av haulted but if it were a Nissan the van would be skipping along the top

The genuine tool should have half " socket drive in it cos you should tension GU lock ring with a tension wrench!!!!!!!!!!!!

i still think new rings pistons brg's etc refit diesel to GQ will be cheaper, unless a complete gas system falls from a truck sooner rather than later.
might be cheaper to run this week but might take a lotta weeks to start getting any benifit

[quote="sclarke7171"]Ahhh Have we not thought about the fact the wave is Wrong and the caravan would float???
Its a Fake.

Steve[/quote]Yeh caravan looks too big & wide compared to wagon.

Me i would go get a reco short motor put it back togeather, with the fuel price going like it is your pocket would be better off staying with the diesel. A V8 petrol GQ would be pretty thirsty.

I also share your vehicle model & smell, run air con & spray some of ya mum's glen 20 in the intake. It does help. This tip thanks to a friends wedding day prank that had a nice bate smell when air was used.

Yes johnno it is in this pic but as we speak its getting all prettied up at the panel shop. The other side is much worse. Yeh the bar came out ok but needs to be a bit neater around a couple of the bends.

My 4" lift with 36's & no body lift. Spring lifts can create a few steering drama's but body lifts leave chassie rails fuel tanks & cross members lower than need be in my humble opinion.
