ahh interseting, thanks for all this help guys i really appreciate it! well my brother (mechanic) had a quick look at the compressor when i was installing my new spotlights and said it is seized. i will get some photos up in the next hour of the car and engine bay.

hi guys, i have just purchased some 6" pods to put in the doors of my brumby and want to put in 2 6" or 6.5" speakers. i have a 2 channel 180 watt alpine amp which i might use and a jvc head unit. what are some decent speakers as i will only be using the two? i am not after big bass as i know its no...

Probably died- may have obstructed other bits e.g radiator replacement in the past. Also a waste of space and weight if not working. Possibly sold bits for money too.[/QUOTE] i still have the condenser which i have just put back in (he took it off to get more air through shagged radiator) so with a ...

all sorted lads, it was the earth on the radiator! i have not seen the earth wire you talk about steptoe? however for future problems and to save my new radiator i will put a thicker earth from rad to body. Another Update: mechanic just called today for a quote i asked for, - new clutch + spigot bea...

ahh ok, if thats the case i might wait until sat morning when i go to autobarn to get a tridon thermo switch part no tfs 195, i read on here it makes the thermo fans cut in earlier, they currently cut in when gauge is above half and just below 3/4, seems a bit hot for my liking. i was thinking they ...

hey the misses just got home with the coolant and thermostat, the guy forgot to put in a thermostat gasket which i asked him to do. do i need it?

it was happening before i put the new radiator in, but i remembered i put the a/c condenser back in front of radiator so it must of removed an earth somehow.

PROBLEM SOLVED! i after a bit of thinking at work and some more searching i found one post which someone stated the thermo switch earths through the radiator so i earthed it and they both fired up! i know only one is suppose to come on and the other with a/c but the old fella who had it before me mu...

yeah the pass side fan links directly to a/c compressor, so the switch for the drivers fan is the single pin i put into the new radiator. and there is only three cord looking things by the strut tower and three relays. no fuses for fans in cab either.

yeah thermo fans are hooked up, they just stopped working all of a sudden. where abouts is the relay or fuse for the thermo fan?

i havent checked thermostat yet, where is it located? but when i put new radiator in top hose was hot and so was bottom one when it was idling for a while.

hi guys, i tried a search but didnt come up with the right info. my brumby is getting up to the top of temp gauge. the thermo fans have always worked until recently. it is an a/c model with two elec fans, but the d*&^ head previous owner removed the front condenser radiator, the v belt and maybe a r...

problem guys! i was driving out the road the other day on dirt not too far from home, and noticed the temp gauge getting towards the top line while i was shutting a gate. it got a little better as i drove down the road >80kmh i got home let it idle and my thermo fans were not cutting in at all. they...

then yes i have been driving it for a few days after i put new rims on. the old tyres were really worn on the outside and still looks the same after the new shocks. can you get wheel alignments on these things?

ill have a look in the morning, what do you mean by stabilising the rear suspension? the set of tyres i took off were wearing on the outside so i want to get it right before too much wear on the new ones.

oh and the rear tyres look like this \:/ whats the cause of that?

hey guys, quick update. just got some 14" sunraysias put on with 175/65 tyres. they really make the car look nice now. decided to go with a set of ipf rectangle 800's for the bull bar. just bought a new radiator as car was getting near the red line on temp today??? weird. also the rear torsion bar i...

just got some 14" sunraysias on sat and put 175/65/14 looks tough as now! couldnt get 185's because a 60 profile was too rare. i havent got a lift kit either and the wheels dont scrub

they say there 6x4 which when i measured one of my quad lights it was pretty close (without taking the light out) i was thinking i may have to buy four and then fit some globes to my liking. i agree with you about the plastic crappy ones, i have a set on my clubby. i read that an 80 series landcruis...
