what is, newie atm?

Engineers certificate is required, $350.00 plus gst is the quote I got and I'm told that is cheap. Needs cargo barrier and sealing to stop fumes and noise. Looks like the seat is going back in, damn. For a thousand dollar car its not worth it.

give me some money so i can afford it

Its a work vehicle that is taken out on rough dirt roads and get all types of **** put into it from oil drums and farm parts so I'm sick of dirty seats and want more room, seats get full of dust. Toby

Thanks for that, are you in NSW and has any inspection station ever mentioned the lack of the seat. Any chances of a photo showing what you have done to cover the area, looking for ideas. Toby

Hi, can anyone tell me what problems there could be with removing the back seat and seat belts in a 86 model LEONE sedan as far as registering the vehicle goes, I am in NSW. My plan is to cover the area behind the seat in aluminium and leave the seat out full time. Thanks for any advice, Toby

Thought this may help anybody going for a weber conversion, lots of information on this site.

I have a 86 model LEONE that is getting warm. It has just had a new thermostat and has had the radiator flushed with plenty of water flow. Still can not find the problem why it is running warm, 4mm from top of guage. No bubbles in the radiator. Is an automatic radiator larger than a manual or can a ...

Hi Toby, I think these are the main waterfalls-Manning river falls on Thunderbolts road, Gummi Falls (off the Tuglow trail i think) and Gloucester Falls on the Gloucester Tops Road. the first two falls i think are well within the park so it doesnt really matter where you enter, but Gloucester Falls...

thanks mate, appreciate it very much, toby

Hi, I want to go to Barrington Tops NP. Can anyone tell me where the waterfalls are and which is the best way into the park to get to the falls. Toby

Hi, does anyone know of somebody around the Dubbo area that has SUBIE wrecks, tried the wreckers but had no luck. Toby

My 1986 LEONE, it seems to be losing brake fluid from the hill holder device. Question: can this be rebuilt? If not then how much for a new one or better still does someone have a good second hand unit sitting around? Thanks, Toby

My vehicle rolled on with it still in gear and done no damage to the valve train etc. It was also turned over several times after coming to a stop to see if the dizzy was turning. Both times I done the belts it was because the idler bearings seazed, one due to old age and the other due being the wro...

Thanks Bennie, all help appreciated mate. My old Subie will need it eventually so I will get some gaskets and belts in readiness for the time. Bearings and rings will need to wait till I can measure everything I guess. Thanks again for your help, Toby Hey toby. I'm currently rebuilding a N/A MPFI EA...

NTN BRAND; 6203LLHCS25/L283QP Ok I put in one bearing which failed within 3 months. So I rang the bearing shop in Dubbo and they said about using "High Speed" bearings, so I used the above number that they supplied and they are still going strong 6 months later, no problems yet. Not sure if "High Sp...

Yeah sounds like a timing belt, check your bearings in the tensioners when doing the job, if you replace the bearing only, do it with high speed bearings, I didn't and had to do it again within 3 months :( . A lesson learnt! Done mine from reading a Gregory's manual and had no hassles. Toby Hello ev...
