Refitted the old washer bottle. On closer inspection, I found the exact defect in the bottom plastic casting on both new pumps, not the motor seal I suspected. I bet the whole batch is defective....

Well!! My run of F@#K S%^ttery continues. Bought a brand new after market washer bottle from , Patrolapart, when I was in Melbourne. Went to install it today. I had already siliconed the two rubber...
Just bought an old FG 6 cylinder Falcon and drove it home from the big smoke. Seems mechanically ok, but noticed a few more interior and body quirks. In the middle of merging onto the highway the...
The quick coupler is a good investment. Wish there was a slim model for getting into the unijoints and such. I found I had to undo the front drive shaft to get to the grease nipples!
With the sub-standard crap that comes with every second purchase, whether it be the wrong part, defective part, or just built wrongly, how does society still function?
Same as post #7 of this one year old thread :)
Welcome to the forum, Unless PeeBee scared you off:)
Bugger! In my mind I thought you had a 4.5 or 4.8. But I think I got confused with Bob's rig.
Had a quick catch up with Plasnart this arvo. Talked a bit about the Swan Lake sand dunes and camping area among other things. Gotta get you lot down here for a weekend.
Getting woken early to have to set up the generator for the second time in a fortnight. Must be living in a third world country. Yes, it is more likely to happen on a Single Line Earth Return system,...
Bugger! Interesting choice of a fix, though. When the gearbox plug stripped out. The mechanic welded a socket on, which gave us a whole lot more chance of applying torque.
Sorry to do that to you, but after years in the maintenance game, I've seen and heard of tools, parts and rags being left after repairs.
[QUOTE=jay see;844254]Well it keeps on going.
The wife's outlander needs a new radiator, the worst part is that the hoses are going to be more than the radiator itself. No one has all three in...
Chinesium? Or just used many times?
First yes but on a side street. Last No. Usually a great mob to deal with in Warnambool.
Now know where all our 10mm sockets teleport too!
RIP Whitie. Not a dog but our pet goat that acted as if she were a dog. We bought her and her daughter in 2004-5. They were both pregnant, so we think Whitie was around three to four years old when...
I found that running an alternator with an open circuit in the system quickly destroys the regulator. Double check all your connections and terminals.
There are alternatives to buying regulators. 4-5 years ago I found a youtube clip which included circuit drawings to build a universal type regulator. It is a simple circuit to build. I am pretty...
Overkill, but I use innox MX8. The grease was only slightly tainted after 10ks of driving.
Try clicking on the printable version. It seems to make my computer accept the forum properly.
I would like to but I might have to use them in the future :( if i can't get some parts elsewhere:(. Small town blues.
What sucks though, is I usually cough up the extra to shop locally. Keeps the...
Had a quick look for air operated hubs online and came up with nothing, so we can assume that it is the front and rear diff locks. The one thing to check, would be the front hubs. They will be one of...
Just move to Vic. No Drive on beach. No problem. Or dig a trench either side of where you are!! Sit back and watch people shear off their axles.
I just cable tie the grill to the body, so that the bonnet clips I have mounted on the grill have something to anchor to.
