Are you looking for a Log Book or repair manual?
My 2006 ute came with Customer Information Booklet which has service/maintenance requirements at required intervals and history up to 160000k.
...
Yep I already have one of them.
Hi Cuppa
I would say our main rear tank would take a bit more than 95lt (probably 98/100lt) and the sub tank takes about 84/85 depending on where we fill up.
With my present set up (Rhino camper...
Mu UTE 4.2TDi does 2300rpm at 100kph with standard 265/75 tyres so either it is not factory standard or speedo is way out. At 3000rpm it would be a bit noisy.
Hi all and merry Christmas
Planning some trips next year before I get to old and decrepit.
Looking for actual fuel consumption for 4.2TDi on different tracks. The worst I have recorded is 22 lt...
First thing they learn at Uni is that NEVER let the truth get in the road of a good story.
Heard interview live on Friday afternoon while on Fraser Island. Plenty of tailor at present.
Well spoken Cuppa.
I presume wagons are the same but my ute has a bit of a problem.
When windows are down, one of the vents (picture attached) flaps and makes a very, very, very annoying noise and when windows are up,...
Ute is his work vehicle as a painter (and decorator as I remind him) and we only go fishing to Fraser etc so no rock climbing or mud etc.
Back again with update.
Existing drag link is in good condition so does not need to be replaced. It only the cracked rubber boots which will cost $10 from Superior Engineering.
Pays to shop around.
Hi all. Long time since I have asked a question although I have been lurking regularly.
The rubber bushes/boots at each end of draglink on my son's ute are cracked and need replacing.
He almost...
Found on the web a bloke called Ken Rockwell who has heaps of interesting stuff.
Some people hate him probably because he is more successful and bit different but everything I have read on his site...
Back in mid 2014 when I went north--diesel
Hervey Bay $1.60
Weipa $1.66
Bamaga $2.56 except 15c discount every 2nd Thursday according to some other travellers.

Vague plan is to go to Avalon airshow in March and then just head west. No particular time or place except be back by 1st week in October for trip to Fraser with son and the usual group of derelicts....
Bit the bullet and spent some of my son's inheritance.
Really happy after a week or so on Fraser as every thing just works as it should. A lot of time and effort has gone into the design and...
Yes they would do exactly the same and probably last longer
Have not posted for ages but have lurking to keep up to date.
A common problem with GU and GQ's is the brake lights staying on. Most often caused by the broken little plastic insert that the plunger...
Hi Cuppa
Spent a few days on Pennefather a few years ago and was stalked by a croc while fishing from the outer bank on that lagoon near the mouth. Thought it was time to leave.
Friends on mine...
Hi all
Considering a short drive next year to the West again.:tease:
Have looked at a few websites and hopefully permits will be available this time next year. I notice some tour operators are...
My VDO gauge shows 70 psi at cold start up reducing to 60 psi at 2300 rpm on highway.
At hot idle close to 30 psi
315 k on clock so only just run in.
To show value of after market gauge,coming...
This will probably open a can of worms.
We had a very experienced (older) maintenance bloke come over to the Island to fix our generator and he commented on how much rust was evident on the...
Yes MB that is the one and Cuppa your comments are spot on as usual.
They weigh 320kg for the 2.4 and by the time an alloy one is fitted out,weight would be very similar.
The Rhino would be far...
Hi all
Considering above camper. They are fibreglass composite and made on NSW Sth coast.
Was looking at aluminium in previous post but price will be similar when fitted out.
Has anyone got one or...
I have a VDO temp gauge and it took 3 to get it right. The first one had readings too high and then low issues like yours. The second one just kept going up and not stopping until it went off the...
