Re: 2nd opinion, are my batteries stuffed?

Give them a good long charge if you haven't already with a decent charger and then check the voltage under load for a drop. It's not enough to use the vehicle to charge them even if you go for a decent hoon in my own experience. I have a proper 10 amp conditioning charger, fully conditioned both (d...

Re: TD42 Exhaust gaskets

Thanks man! My old man was getting shafted by a crowd that said you couldn't buy them aftermarket now and I took him at face value.

Since then they managed to MOVE the second alternator to another bracket they made, which has now broken, all because they couldn't find the right belt.

Hey,

Does anyone know where you can get these after market these days, or is genuine the only way to go?

Can't flip the starter gear :-( Unless I'm missing something. Might be able to cut it back and space it forwards again but the gear is machined with a shaft on the other side. Will try source a gear or replacement starter before flipping the flywheel. Don't have the gear to do that myself. Any recom...

Re: Is this farked?

what caused it is the question. The solenoid not throwing the gear out far enough on the shaft of the starter to engage the ring gear properly? It was grinding after starting. I should have looked at it sooner as now it won't engage at all. You can't get off the key quick enough because it's an old...

Re: Hey everyone, I'm new to the 4wd scene.

Nothing is bulletproof. Certain marques and models excel in certain areas and not so much in others (that is to say every vehicle has it's pros and cons) especially once you start modding them. By the time you have to start worrying about water with a petrol there are a few other things you should h...

Buying is half the fun and for 7k you will get something pretty decent. Everything has it's pros and cons. I really like the wee Zuks but I wouldn't get one if it was to be a daily driver or if I had a dog. Terranos seem to go pretty cheap and you can get cheap parts for them too, but you need to ch...
