So...I ended up gettign 285/75 16s BFG KM2s.

I've had to remove the front mud flaps and they rub on the rear inner guards when flexed up. No scrubbing when just zooming around the dunes. It's...

Thanks, I'll check them out.

cheers, Damo

HI Guys

Anyone know a good LPG workshop in the northern suburbs of Perth. The GQ needs a tune up badly. I used to use Steens in balcatta but they have been closed for a few years and I havent...

Thanks, shows a couple of ideas, but some of the ones people said were geat no longer have photos avaialble. Hoping someone might pop a few ideas up.

Hi All

Seems all the good mud flap threads are victim to photobucket non show. Any body got some good ideas. I just put 285/75 16's on my Gq alloys and I fear the front mud flaps are not long for...

Cheers for the replies. Seems I'm not alone then. In the dunes it seems OK. Just plant my foot to bring it around.

Just a pain to park. Seems I'm always taking a couple of bites to get into a...

So, my GQ feels like it has the turning circle of the QE2. Just wonding if thats normal.

MY NEW (TO ME) PATROL MADE ME HAPPY TODAY.

So I bought a 96 GQ 4.2efi a few weeks ago for cheap and have spent a LOT of hours fixing stuff on it due to previous owners neglect. It's completely...

So I bought a 96 GQ 4.2efi a few weeks ago for cheap and have spent a LOT of hours fixing stuff on it due to previous owners neglect. It's completely rust free with only 220Ks on it so I was prepared...

Yeah. I'm gonna have to phone around and see if someone can do that for me without charging an arm and a leg.

I've bought what I think is a good second hand box to rebuild. I've got a new genuine main shaft and bearings ($295 the lot, killer score off gumtree). Just need to get the syncros going. I'm a uni...

That will be for when I've finished studying and can afford to make it into a REAL toy. My motor runs so sweet I'm not really wanting to swap it out. The car has only done 220K. Would be Nice to have...

OOPS!!! Double post

Any recommendations for a brand of cleaner. I think this may help. I did change the filter as its only $30 but the old one seemed pretty clean. It is running better after that, but I suspect it is...

Hi All

My TB42e just doesn't like running on petrol. It runs GREAT on LPG but as soon as I switch over to petrol it dies. I bought it like that recently so not much history I can add.

My LPG...

Certainly WAY better than it was. Not stopping like a sports car, but the new pads and disks did the trick. I think once they are bedded in properly it will stop great.

Luckily the pin...

Thanks. Now off to find a good deal on some BFG KM2 MTs.

Hi All

I've recently purchased a GQ ST with the 16x8 factory alloy wheels.

Will I have any rubbing problems if I put 305/70/16 tres on it. Cant find any specific answers. I have been searching....

So....I got the disks replaced on the front. Not so bad. But I couldn't find any pads in stock for the twin piston GQ calipers so will need to wait a couple of days for them to come in for a trial.
...

It was doing my head in because none of the expected problems were the problem. Also I'm used to toyotas where you can just pop the wheel off swap the disk and pop it back on. All 4 disks and pads...

Because when I brake hard, that wheel locks up.

The pedal is hard and wooden in use. I was making the point that is doesnt sink to the floor, so not leaking past seals in Master Cylinder.

Hi All

I've got a GQ patrol with terrible brakes. The pedal is very hard, but the braking performance is way below acceptable. It doesn't seem hydraulic as the pedal is nice and firm and doesnt...

Hi All

I'm having issues with shift quality in my GQ 4.2 5 speed. It's a real effort to get 1st or 2nd without grinding. Any tips that might help improve or eliminate it. Gearbox onl has 220k on...
