If the fans never shut off (with or without a relay) it has to be the thermo switch locked in the 'on' position. Or if it IS cycling then it might be faulty and just coming on at a lower temp? Got another to try? Or it may be fine and the coolant is hotter than you think? (assuming fans aren't on, o...

Phiz, my experience says no prob at all running the EA Rad with an EJ. Mines an EJ22 bored to 2.5 and has no cooling issues at all, but I am not running fans on outside of Rad on the condenser. I know they lose their efficiency big time that way, but also know the space issue for fans on the engine ...

Just found this old post. Just to clarify, from this post I am reading the Brumby had a heavier rear torsion bar than the Wagon. Is this correct ? If so, anyone have any specs on both bars ? Is there any advantage in fitting a Brumby torsion bar to the rear of a Wagon to give a heavier spring rate ...

Great score Jules! That's similar to how I got my GLF5, cause peeps ummed and arrred that it wasn't 4wd!!
Damn, just yesterday I threw out a perfectly good Y pipe from an '82 wagon (freight $$$ distance would have been a killer though)
Love the red racing stripe too!!

Did you solve this problem mate? I reckon you might be right with the assumption of a bad earth. You can get all sorts of weird stuff going on (like the examples you've given) when the earth wiring is not connected right. There is a thick black wire with a round connector (for screw) on it, which ha...

Getting so so close now to being on the road!!
My 84 wagon ran power steering for 12 years without any rubber between the uni joints and had no discernible vibration.

Hi Adam, If you are able to post I would be interested in the steering wheel with boss kit for Brumby and also interested in the clutch pack LSD. Can you let me know the price of that,

WOW sounds like you were just Nano seconds away from carnage!! I'd hate to imagine the consequences if a wheel was to cut loose into pedestrians walking the CBD!! You're very lucky!!
What wheels tyres does the Brumby have? Would someone have been trying to steal one?

Lifestyle channel on cable TV has a show called 'River cottage Australia'.
Based in Bermagui NSW where a bloke shows you how to grow vegies, raise animals and cook fantastic meals.
His well worn farm ute is a white, quad light Brumby!

Great to see you're tackling the problem I have with my 'Brumboid' after doing the L series LCA swap, that of the way different track from front to rear. Alas I don't have the necessary skill set to tackle the problem the way you have, so I look forward to the 'kit' becoming available sometime soon ...
