Hi guys,
Please forgive me for I have had unclean thoughts...
Here's the guts.
We had a '88 Non turbo long high safari. We camped in her and drove her up and down the country. But the main...
Hi guys,
Just confirmed a leaky head gasket. Only very slight leak and it's been stable for months.
Probably the ideal candidate for ...
GUNK...
(Rislone head gasket fix)
Anyway added a bottle...
Absolutely... Just hope it IS the gasket not a cracked head / block. That would explain why it's not getting badder real quick...:frown:
Thanks

Hi Dom,
Funny actually. Just done a long trip with hills an' all. Ended up with the expansion tank full and overflowing and radiator quite low.
Refilled radiator and watched with engine running......
Thanks guys.
Will replace with (wrecker) one and try to repair old as spare.

Hi guys,
My Y60 (24v) fast wiper speed has gone west. (weak joke alert !!!) Unfortunately, I'm still in the east.
Seriously- No fast wipers.
Motor runs well on slow, intermittent & autopark....
Hi guys,
Just replaced my expansion tank on my y60 TD42 and found that it is filling with lovely green water. (antifreeze - not slime). I guess that means I have a head gasket failing. When the...
Hi,
I'm also having 'issues' with my hubs. Mine are autos and the symptoms are... Driving along (sealed road 2WD) then we get a buzzing sound (quite loud) we slow down, the buzzing drops in pitch....
Thanks TuckerTrucker,
I went down to the bloke who did the last trans service to check on when next service due. Also picked his 'expert' brain.
He flushed with synthetic fluid which can stand a...
Thanks guys,
No temp gauge, using engine (radiator) temp and assuming that one effects the other. Also there's a hot trans oil smell. Never had the warning light lit.
No idea of heritage of...
Hi all,
I have an elderly Safari which I use for towing my weighty boat. The auto has a trans cooler fitted.
The system gets hot when towing uphill.
I imagine the heating is basically energy loss...
Ok. nearly one year on. Time for an update.
History --- I am old and crusty, driven manuals for all my life. almost exclusively 4 cyl.
My driving habits are well entrenched and hard to break. Add...
Thanks all.
Pulled the relay and jumpered the socket. Real easy. Windows now on 'always' power.
Shame about having to pull the front suspension to get at the relay :)
Only half joking here. I...
Thanks.
Great thread Yendor et al.
Not sure if I'll go for Acc drive to the relay or full time power but there's enough info to accomplish whatever...
Thanks all for the great info.
Dave.
Agreed.
Yup mine is a high top wagon.
Thanks all

Thanks Kiwijase & Tank,
I'm just a fussy old engineer who likes his documentation to have relevance to his equipment.
I did find it frustrating when I was fitting a new radio and had to reverse...
That's an affirmative there.
No joy at all.
I now have 3 copies of the manual from 3 sources.
All have similar details.
None allow for 24V systems.
As far as I can see the discrepancies are...
Hi Rodney,
I have just downloaded the manual from the forum. It is basically the same as the 2 I have from other sources.
Just found the power windows circuit filed under door of course rather than...
Hi Guys,
Anybody have details of wiring arangements for power windows on LWB GQ Y60??
Thanks
Dave
Hi guys,
I have a 24V safari (circa '88). I would love to see the EL.pdf for a 24V GQ Y60.
I have 2 copies of the (full manual ???) and they both claim to be for all models 87 - 96 but it would...
The Voltmeter will only tell you the end steps of the battery charge graph. If it's below 12 it's flat. If it's above 14.4 it's cooked. You can make some guesses about the bits between.
A bit like...
Hi guys,
Just a query here about dual battery system.
Are you setting up a 'house' battery seperate from your engine crank battery?
or perhaps adding extra crank capacity.
Can you pls. clarify.
...
I read somewhere about an A/T light that blinks 10 times on power-on for diagnostic purposes. This may explain the flashing.

:shivering:
What effect would fuel gelling have on this? I imagine the pump would push the stuff through anyway. The stuff squirting everywhere is liquid.
I have heard that adding a litre of petrol...
