Electrical gremlins

Hey guys, Had a break down in the mighty l series the other day. Basically it was blowing the engine meter fuse until I found this guy was the offender(pictured) https://www.dropbox.com/s/fho0q0zl8oonr29/Photo%206-10-18%2C%2012%2029%2020%20PM.jpg?raw=1 there is just one wire running to it, anybody k...

Cheers for the reply's. I'm just travelling and bought the car a month ago, haven't done a single thing to it apart form making sure all fluids are in check. They've never moved apart from this saga. No visible leaks in coolant, the level has remained constantly full since. Interesting point on the ...

Overheating

Hey Crew My noble stead overheated on me yesterday. It's a 1998 outback which I understand is pretty common on these things. Luckily I saw the temp gauge start to rise and shut her off. Ended up crawling to an incline, unscrewing the bleed screw, filled with coolant. Turned the heater on full and wa...

I'd say your one spline out, you will have to get one of those pins out with pliers or something then put a pin punch through to knock the other one out, try not to get it stuck as well. Take the cup off then get a torch and make sure that the holes are lined up perfectly before you put the pin thro...

The cheaper way of doing it would be to source an ej25 short block and put the 2.2 heads and inlet manifold on as they all bolt up with a little work on the head gaskets as the coolant channels don't quite line up. Called a high compression frankenmotor, there's a lot about it on the american subaru...

On my mpfi touring wagon the front stubs are 25 but on the rear diff i used normal l series shafts, never counted them but i guess they are 23. Anyone know why they used 25 spline on the mpfi box? are the internals any stronger?

Sorry mate, my muddies are still scrubbing just haven't had time to chop the guards yet, so didn't want to tear the new rubber to shreds. Looks like some good tracks, I definitely need to get a bash plate on after watching those video's though

You could keep looking for gen1 liberty seat belts, shouldn't be hard to find, i'm fairly sure these bolt straight on and the brown should be fairly close

Thats a bargain, I say wreck it, not just because i'd be interested in the engine, but your liberty will look sweet lifted and thats some fairly serious hail damage.

300 seem's a decent price. Just did this to a mate's liberty and had problems finding the spring hats, so if you can get the complete set thats a bonus. If you buy new struts, depending on whether you have the air suspension or not you might have to find the strut tops and hats from somewhere. As fo...

Nice work, how well do they sit on the strut seat? I got a raised set of lovell's that were listed for a leone sedan and ford capri, but the diameter seems slightly to large and they don't sit quite right

Sounds good mate! Are you sure it's injectors that is the issue with the 2 cylinders that are down?? Cheers Bennie Yeah not exactly sure. Changed the spark plugs today, and we have spark.
