Bloodyaussies TD42 a new beginning

[Sir Roofy]

Well after this latest trip to Licola I have had a few things happen to Bruce including ..... Broken engine mount (left side but have not checked right yet)leaking clutch master, Panhard bush (bloody hard to get home with violent shakes) and now there is a lot of vibration and the car is not smooth to drive.. the clutch I think got some shit in it from the first deep crossing.

Also the radius arm bushes on the left side were starting to knock and after this trip are moving a lot.

Funny as this trip was not tough but seems to have taken its toll.

Must be telling GU something time to up grade your parts list

stupid question but i ahve done this and the vibration was quite specific. Have you unlocked your hubs? even in 2wd with the hubs locked your front end will be dragging around. Quite a bit of vibration is created, like a hummmm or buzz. drove me nuts until i figured it out.

Did you fit New engine mounts when you installed the engine? they are less than 5000kms old?

I have just topped up my oil as it was low and now my car is smooth again....

I will try and fit the clutch master today if I get a chance and see if my clutch feels any better.

I also need a better catch can.

Fitted a new radiator today and the quality is much better..

Also fitted a provent 200 catch can.

Have a few other things that need doing soon including radius arm bushes when mudski gas them back in stock and i need to replace the transfer fuel pump.. the piece of crap one i got from Patrolapart is stuffed.

Also waiting on my zd30 air filter housing (cheers colin) as my stock td42 pre filter is crap and was letting water in on the licola trip.

Want to go on a holiday with the kids in September so need to have this stuff sorted.

There's always something needing or wanting to be done and we don't even need to look too hard. Best to get onto things as soon as (funds available) possible.

Just got home from the hospital mate and your bushes are here.

Thanks lucas...

Mark i think I will use your press this time.

[Bloodyaussie]

Today i took my rear calipers off and freed up the sliders and fitted up new bendix heavy duty pads.. also adjusted the bias bracket.

Brakes feel good but i could only gravity bleed them.. was going to get my daughter to help but im sharing my sons cold and couldn't be stuffed by the time i picked her up from school.

See how we go with this.
