LED and HID are loadsa money $700+ for compliant ones

Sounds like they missed a ball bearing and spring on the selector rods. When I had my manual trans recon'd they missed a ball from the top. Had to strip the whole thing down again to put it in. I was driving it in this condition, struggling to keep it in gear and eventually the trans 'locked' to th...

Chasing stray currents is reasonably straight forward. Just need an multi-meter. @Aroma, I have one you can borrow if needs be, can show you what to do too,. Easiest way to diagnose is to pull a fuse, put the meter across it and measure the current. Wont be on the internet much this weekend, so tex...

Based on what I've read you probably need to be looking around the 700-800 Amp range. From memory the stall load on the last two winches I've had were 520 amps and 650 amps.

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...

Hi Guys, I have had to jump start the 80 quite a few times over the last 3 weeks. Over the last 6 months both batteries have dropped to 7 volts (as a pair) 4 times. 3 due to kids leaving interior lights on and once due to a seized starter motor. When parked up, I get a voltage drop of about .4 Volts...

I'm thinking of doing the same thing as my auto trans is on the way out. My question is whether there is any other major hurdles, that I should be aware of? Is the clutch master cylinder a problem to get right? does it need to be road legal? if so it will need a cert. Is it not possible to do bolt ...
