The problems kept happening after i drained the tank so i replaced the front and back filters today, the old ones were full of mud and rubbish. And just some advice, the rear filter is the main one so there is no use changing the front and not the back.

ok i drained the tank so i will see how it goes then maybe I will look at the filters.

Yeah the bolt at the bottom of the tank will do it, but it will drain all your fuel to so run the ute pretty much dry before you do it. Also have you checked your fuel pump recently? As it could be helping the problem to. Yeah the guage is on the empty line. We checked the front fuel filter the fir...

Hi I have had some problems with water in the fuel tank lately. I put some metho in the tank which fixed it for a while but now it's happening again really badly (not getting fuel going up hill). I think there is a bolt on the bottom of the tank, do I just undo this to drain the water out? If not ho...

Last night I was driving in the city when i noticed the brake pedal felt wierd. It kept going in further and further until it was touching the firewall and I had no brakes. The pedal moved until about 1 cm from the end of the stroke where it grabbed just enough to hold me still in traffic. Luckily a...

thanks for that

Hi i'm looking at libertys and most of them seem to be auto, how much would it cost to convert to manual? (gen 1 or 2)
thanks

Hi recently I have been thinking of selling the brumby and buying a liberty wagon, non turbo because I'm on my P's. I'm not sure which body shape I like better the older (92 etc.) or later (96-8 etc.) I would probably looking to spend no more than about $7000, which seems about right according to ca...

It is the front wheels, I adjusted the handbrake and it helped a bit. When putting the foot brake on you can feel them not retracting properly so yeah it could be something to do with the pistons.

sounds like the brake proportioning valve in the master cylinder is playing up either that or your rear or front brakes are locking on causing massive drag TOONGA they seem to be locking on and dragging, even driving down the highway not using them at all, It seems when the car heats up they start ...

It definately would be a quick race car if you stripped the uneccecary weight and put an EJ into it. I'd like to see how it goes

I just had that problem with my brumby, it was a small crack in the heater hose

So i put some metho in the tank and it seems to be fixed

I had a similar problem with mine. Ran OK normal day to day driving but when I gave it some stick it seamed to be starving for fuel. Tried blowing out fuel lines, reset float in carb etc. No joy. Ended up being vacuum in tank starving carb for fuel. Try taking your fuel cap off and see if it improv...

Hey Soobers, I was just wondering how many P platers like myself are on the site? If you are post a pic of your subie, I will start with my brumby.

I have the same problem in my brumby, on the upper vent the air is cold but on feet or defrost it blows hot air. Some times I have to put the aircond on for a while then switch it to defrost but that doesn't last long.

it seems to be ok sometimes if I take it easy, but if I need to change down a gear and give it some that is when it starts playing up (goin up hill)

Hi it seems that when i am driving in traffic for a while and using the brakes the pedal really gets firm and the car doesn't roll easily as if the brakes are sticking. Could they need new brake fluid? I filled up with fuel and had used about a third of a tank at the end of the next day so there rea...

hi recently when I have been going up hill in my brumby it would start dying and hopping along the road as if it is running out of fuel even when there is half a tank still, then once the road is flat it is fine. It happened one night then about a week later it happened again, the strange part is th...

I found this in google images, not sure if it's real or not
