is for auto
power / changes gear harder when overtaking
auto / every day use
hold / holds in that geag longer when going up hills while towing
Great to see your enjoying this again Healy. And nice looking q for sure.
As for the sway bar disconnect, there should be a lever top left of the drivers side foot well, and when pulled a light come on top left of the dash.
The actual unit itself is small and quite easily missed if not looking for it, but it sits on the rear bar drivers side between the bar and the chassis.
It will have a cable and wires running to it but essentially it just a block and pin.
I'll photo mine tonight if you can't find it.
Anyway enjoy the q mate.
Cheers
Great to see it coming along. And yes, much happier now you've changed the avatar. :-)
Between Jamo and Woods Point.Quote:

Sorry I know where all the bits are but I just wanted to be able to see if it all works properly before heading out on the tracks just wondering if it needs to be greased or anything like that as I know it wouldnt have been used since it was bought 20 odd years agoQuote:

Just rock yourself back and forth in the drivers seat going uphill mate, the Q takes some getting used to when you revert from a UQuote:

Q is an icon until today i love its shape
Im thinking of making the Q a 6 seater as we will have 2 baby seats in the car so instead of 2 3 2 it would be 2 2 2 with the fridge in the middle of the second row. Has anybody done this looking at the 2nd row seat frames it looks to be a absolute f##k around id have to find seats that would give anothe room for the fridge to fit. So then that leaves me of doing the battery somewhere else I could fit battery under bonnet only if I can change the size of over flow bottle. So can I change the size of over flow bottle?? And has anybody heard seen or done the 2nd row seat idea any help thanks 1 more thing has anybody know/ where crab bars are bought in melbourne I can only find someone in Ballarat to far thanks again
Wow that's a decent job. Could you do a split rear seat and half draw system?
Do you mean in the 3rd row? My plan is to build to side boxes in the rear as I can use the timber from my other draw systemQuote:

That's the overdrive button, you'll see an O/D light on the top left instrument cluster when over drive is off.Quote:

Well that's why happens with mine anyway.
I just keep my switch on power and the OD off on all roads except when I'm doing over 80, the OD goes on.
Starting at second row I want two commodore seats with fridge in middle and the 3rd row us the normal seat with two boxes on the sides under sliding windows but ice just gotta work out what seats will fit in the second row with the fridge commodore etcQuote:

Why not get a ute front 3/4 seat and put it in the front. its a direct bolt in. i done it to mine so i still have the full boot space. we regularly travel with my 4 kids(8yrold and wife in the front) and have no probs with it. Being an auto will be even easier as sometimes changing gears my daughters leg gets in the way.
Had to pull apart my draw setup and turn it into this I prefer this setup now its done
Nice mate awesome gq
Ive had a leaking diff the last week so ive decided to fix it myself. Ive just stripped it all out and will put a new kit through it tomorrow I thought it was gonna be a prick of a job but it is simple to do.
New project one side done let the rumours begin
Great idea Healy
Fark em!!!!! Liking those mate, are they glass?Quote:
