by the way, just worked out my fuel consumption and im gettin 15.1 MPG at the moment. This is with a 2inch lift, roofrack, 265/70 AT tyres, and probably 60% highway driving at 60mph, 20% sensible town driving and 20% "wow listen to this! iv got a V8!" town driving. Sound reasonable or should I...

Hi guys, already posted this in general chat but I figured it is more suited to this section. 6 - 8 week trip Melb - Perth, up the West Coast - Darwin & back! - Melbourne travel partners - Gumtree Melbourne Free Classifieds Planning the trip above, probably for two months. Its not set in...

hey, im a pommy! just living over here for a bit :D

haha i know... but its 8.30am here and iv been up since the footy started (4.30) and im waitin for it to stop raining so i can go and do something outside!

ok I realise this is a bit sad.. but Im bored (plus i think I might win!) So work out how many landies you have had.. 100 points for past 200 points for current. So in my case, 3 past (1989 disco, 1991 disco, 1995 disco) and 3 present (1987 90, 1988 110, 1990 range rover) comes to 900. Divide...

cheers matey, very helpful . that can be this evenings job then, few hours of reading and searching (perhaps with a beer or two for company! :p) .

cheers mate il have a read through and a search.

woosh! in dummys terms please?! im still learning!

preparing for the drive of shame :(

sorry. faulty ign. coil. the mechanic reckoned it mite have been failing intermittently which could have caused th symptoms last week. im still not 100% happy though... it has been idling to low for my liking. just have to keep goin and see how she does! $180 mite sound a lot for a coil (well...

must be early over there MHM... what u doing up!

haha. well this is a good result, im now on the train back to warragul where they took it, as they have fixed it already! and its under $200 . i wasnt expecting to get it back until at least tues as this weekend is a long weekend over here in oz, queens bday weekend so monday is a bank...

plus to top it off, the ticket machine was broken at the station so i jumped on the train without a ticket . when the lady came along i explained the machine was broken, and she (clearly not beleving me) was like "its a computer" well i know but the ****ing computer was broken!!! "oh well...

well it broke down again! was goin down a biiiiig winding mountain hill, and noticed the steering getting heavy, tried accelerating and it was lagging, not really pulling. Then saw the dreaded ign, lights on the dash telling me it had stalled :( this time though i couldnt get it going again...

true, but if im spending the money buying it id rather fit it. take the old ones as spares.

i was thinking, should i replace the ignition system before i go? coil, dizzy, plugs n leads? or if it aint broke dont fix it?

Wouldnt a K&N be likely to let more dust in than a standard paper filter? I would have thought 2 or 3 spare paper filters would be a better bet. Good call though, and fluids is def. an important one as well. What else.. waterpump? hoses and clips? UJs?

Nah she should be alright... fingers crossed... :o

Oi!!!
