Re: 93 Escudo auto no spark

Yay great news, I opened the ECU and measured each of the capacitors that I could find and one was leaking despite not being swollen or bulging.......$0.80 later from Jaycar it fired right up. Super happy to hand this back to a friend on a farm at Mapiu for his wife to use a farm truck. Thanks for a...

93 Escudo auto no spark

Gents, I’m at the end of my knowledge and Google results.........G16A 16v. I’m trying to help a farmer fiend get his Zuni running after he turned it off one day and the next time it just cranked and does not fire up. Currently there is a fat spark as one starts the crank, then zero during the crank ...

HID Conversion question

Hi, this may have been hammered over time but are fitting HIP kits to one's truck ok for WOF as long as the defraction angle to the left on low beam is pronounced enough? Or would any HID change over fail other than factory fitted ones?

I just bought some off Alixpress, $79 for 30m. As soon as there is a 4x4 label attached to it the p[rice triples. Yes they are also used in the marine industry and are priced differently.

Re: Disco with electric winch

I've got a Disco with RUNVA 9500-Q winch (upgraded cables) running off 2 x 650CCA batteries and standard 120A alternator. Battery earth cables run to a common point with the winch earth so not relying on the chassis for earth. Entered in Clubman Class and done all 4 rounds so far in the Mainland Wi...

Re: 96 v8 disco

They are great value for money and very capable vehicles. Not the best economy on the open road but then when one buys a V8 one is not theoretically thinking of economy. The Lexus conversion in the Disco have tons more power and also run approx. 8lt/ 100km less than the normal 16-18lt/ 100km....... ...
