Yeah Mate I have got a snorkel and breathers, the breathers have been put up nice and high so no dramas there. I was just more concerned about the water getting sucked in if the diffs were hot. Your...
Hi guys,
Well I am surrounded by water at the moment, have been for about a week out here at Wee Waa.
I am hoping to head out of town and down south on Wednesday but will likely have to drive...
Yeah the new belt is longer (something I need to talk to the supplier about). The new belt measures 1270 where-as the old one is only 1250. But the problem I am having is actually with the old...
Hi guys,
Just needing a bit of clarification on the belts. To explain.......I have just replaced all the belts and am now at the point of tensioning them all ready to start the engine and use the...
Tony just took off the alternato belt and the power steering belt but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to loosen the air conditioning belt. Please explain....it must be simple I know but I...
Hi guys,
Just received a belt kit for the GU 4.2 in the mail and was going to replace all my belts this afternoon.
I have done this on other vehicle before and know that sometimes it can be a...
Hi guys,
I am just in the process of changing my brake pads on the GU. I have been looking on ebay and there seems to be a big price difference between brands with Bendix being the most...
Hi Linley,
Welcome to the forum, I have only joined recently and am in a similar situation to you (just bought a 1998 GU with 350, 000 on the clock and don't know much about 4wds). The guys on...
Hoses and Belts
Just thinking about doing the belts and hoses on the patrol as Tony has suggested. I am wondering if anyone knows where to get a value for money kit? I have looked on Ebay and a...
Happy to chip in some AB, this forum is great and it would be a great shame to see it not continue. Will put some $$ in today if I can find the time.

Tony this is FANTASTIC!!!!! Thank you mate, and thanks for starting so quickly. I am going to make a start on some of the things you suggested straight away. I have been trying to get my head...
Hi guys,
I thought it might be good to start a thread about what things to keep an eye on in terms of vehicle maintenance in order to prevent problems.
I know that many of the contributors here...
Thanks Tony,
The water is not mixed with coolant (I have got red stuff in mine). The water is clean, cool and clear.
If it is the air-conditioner would you mind just explaining to me exactly...
Hi,
Recently I have noticed that there is what looks like water leaking from directly below the passenger side of the engine. I am not hugely mechanically minded and I was just wondering what the...
Well after a heap of fiddling about with a spanner and socket I got one of the bolts out of the starter and headed down to get the shop to match it. Bolted everything back on and tightened it up...
Hi Guys,
Sorry its been so long! I finally got around to having a look at that starter, I climbed underneath the rig trying to work out the best way to get it off and low and behold when I went...
Do you know my wife?? Lol
Yeah unfortunately we didn't have any fencing wire handy out in the middle of nowhere. Once we got to the farm and jacked the car up we just took the whole back end of the pipe right off as the rest...
Hi guys,
Just a funny story from the weekend. My wife and I decided to go for a bit of camping trip, it rained all weekend and so the camping wasn't much chop. On the way hope we were tearing...
Finly Owner,
Thanks for the good advice. I hadn't thought of that, there are a few mechanics I know well who may even have one I can borrow for a weekend. I guess the hardest bit is actually...
Yeah Wee Waa is a long way from anywhere really, and not really on the way to anywhere either. But hey thats why I love it!
Thanks anyway Tony, I really do appreciate the advice. I think I will...
Yeah I agree about bloody murphy mate!
I have just finished packing the truck for a weekend camping trip though! Although not too far from home and not really out bush so we will just see how she...
Tony,
Just another line of thought. I have been told that the starter gear is made of softer metal so that it should wear before the flywheel gear? Is this true? Would it be worth just...
Thanks Tony,
I can get access to most of those things quiet easily. The clutch has actually just been done, its a shame the guys I bought it from didn't do this then as well! I have a few mates...
