I suspect your speedo will be more accurate if you put 32 inch tyres on. Ours was fast by more than 10% with 31 inch tyres, now with 32's it's back to about 5% faster than reality.
We've currently got a set of steel factory GU wheels with 265/75R16 (31 inch?) tyres on our GQ Chimo.
I bought them secondhand to reduce the revs a bit when we're towing our van. They bolted...
Tested the fan clutch and decided I've finally got the right amount of oil in it now.
30ml of 30k silicone oil makes the fan start to drive harder as soon as the temp gets over half way on the...
Fixed our odo and trip meter.
I expected to find a stripped gear or one that was loose on the shaft. Gears all looked good so I put the motor from our spare one into it and it all works again now :)...
It was a lot easier than I expected. I drilled two holes in the front of it, blew out the old oil (which was like thick dark honey), and put 40ml of 30,000 grade silicone oil into it with a syringe....
Reco'd the fan clutch. I think I overfilled it though, because it stays locked up even when it's been running for a while.
Thanks for that list. I've already checked some of those things, but you've given me some more to look at.
And thanks for that too. I'm hoping to find an original one to go with the factory...
Drove it for 100 odd K's and wondered why it vibrates between 1800 and 2000 revs. Sometimes worse than others.
Yeah, that sounds more like it.
EDIT AGAIN: I think I'll just give up. Too slow every time :)
Didn't know they were used on Trols?
EDIT: Seems I'm not the only one who's confused here :)
Fixed it today (thanks to Chaz guessing what I'd done wrong) and I see what you mean about the revs. I was expecting maybe 500 less, but at 100km/h it's only about 100 rpm less. As for cutting the...
Yeah, nothing seemed to happen when I switched it on at about 80k/h in drive. Then I switched it off and the computer locked the converter up after I shifted into overdrive, but it wouldn't stay...
Finished installing my manual torque converter lock up, but it doesn't work, and looks like it's damaged something :mad:
Working on doing mine atm. If you haven't found what you need yet, send me a PM and I'll let you know.
