Good instructions there click. Just one question, do the MY's lights turn off with the ignition? If so this wire install will leave the driving lights on after the ignition is turned off (unless manually switched off from the dash switch) but will operate as normal when the ignition is on. I ask thi...

Yeah that cast manifold transports coolant from the head to the thermostat housing. If the leak is coming from where the manifold joins the head, it is possiably the intake manifold gasket that has sprung a leak. All you have to do is remove the intake manifold and replace the gasket. Make sure you...

Hey Dave. With the issue of the different diametre front tyres, your not going to break anything with this. The diff may be working a little more in a straight line. You'll really notice the binding when in 4wd wether they're on the front or the rear. Even with 4 tyres of the same diametre you'll st...

From my experience, If not buying the entire shaft, RX inners will not be enough. I have travelled this road. I had the RX cups ready to put into my L for my gearbox conversion (25 spline) - but the RX cups were too big too fit onto the ball of the standard L shaft. It must be my mistake about the ...

You should hold your foot flat on the throttle so the engine is on the rev limiter then bang the clutch out in 2nd gear on teh bitumen. It is a very quick way to find out where that bit of casing came from. At the expense of the gearbox? I know you'd be prepared for the worst in this situation but ...

Don't rule out a wheel bearing issue either, but this sounds like a CV issue. This has crossed my mine several times. Spoke to dad about it and he reckons its a CV issue. I'm starting to doubt this as i have heard a ticking (and can feel it in the floor pan) when cruising along a straight section o...

DL's and GL's came in dual range 4wd. I think the single range may have been an option (and it may have had the 3.9 diff), but i'm not sure on this. They also come as front wheel drive only too (my sister has an '84 L front wheel drive GL) DL's for the L series has base everything - 3 guage dash dis...

My Ruby Scoo (DL) has it... i think its a DL, i don't know anymore after changing so many bits :D
If DL's have three gauge dash then its a DL with that "dial" at your knees - i've got AC.

Adrian, Could the TPS be mounted on the other side of the Throttle Body? This would make it work the way it used to - ie it will be turning the way it should be. Or could you mount your TB (from the RX) with the TPS on the spider manifold backwards so the butterfly opens the same as the TB on the sp...
