I have to agree... here in the outback, on flat roads, much more fuel effecient, but further south where it starts to get hilly, even the slightest hill will have my V8 auto kick down a gear and accelerate to maintain speed. This is most un-nerving when you are approaching a narrow crest of a...

1st to 2nd changing in any gearbox is usually the one that has problems with the synchro ring. Changing 1 to 2 should be a two stage shift with that slight pause in the neutral section, then gentle pressure into 2nd, this will give time for revs to drop and teeth to align.

I kicked over to "Senior Member" when I hit 100!!!! And yella and slob are still senior members and yella has 1900 and slob has 2500!!!...WTF? :D:D

By the correct conjugation of the verb "to be", that should read "should HAVE been" not "should OF been" :D :D :D :D

The company I work for pays my fuel :D :D :D (most of it anyway)

Wolf...you and I discussed this before, but I am curious about the snorkel. In high speed running the funnel at the top might assist with a little forced air induction but cant see it making that much difference. I would have thought the headers and exhaust would have made the most impact...

)(*&^%$#$%^&*()...would love that much!!!..last lot for me on a trip was 20.1mpg....and about 17 around town

Gday Yella Its been a long time coming, but way back on post number 20-something, you said a bloke had to have 100 posts before he was allowed to have a go at someone, and I know this is number 99 and all, but I just cant have a go at a bloke that owns a yellow 4WD....I think he has suffered...

When I first went to use the jack that is stored under the bonnet, I found it in a pool of oil and not operating. Still under warrenty, I spoke to the dealer who was happy to replace it with a $10 cheap taiwanese jack that looked like it would hold up my wilted John Thomas. I bought a heavier...

Too true.... and she also fell in love with the handbag hook on the left side of the transmission tunnel/centre console!!!! (I have to admit to liking the little compass in the rear vision mirror and the external temperature readout!...Shhhhhhh)

Oh great councellor of knowledge....you have me ROFLMNO

Similar thing here..I had a 5 hour trip to pick up my beasty having been down a few weeks earlier to purchase it... promised to fix the fuel filler flap (kept flapping open!) and the drink holder on the dash.(sticks and wont come out..until you hit a bump..and we hit LOTS of bumps out here). I...

This is the only drawback for me..the turning circle. I have to do a three point turn in a road that was designed to turn a 50-head bullock team.. and I CANT get round!!! I did a 73 point turn on a bush track the other day...great having power steering is all I will say. Let me know if they...

I had the pleasure of seeing a D3 up close the other day when a guy on his way through town stayed with us. Him and his mates in their tojos had just come through the kimberly mountains and the D3 was the main vehicle that had to save/rescue/support all the others. I got a good look around the...

Mine changes quickly, as soon as I back of the throttle it drops into top straight away. Sorry cant suggest a solution for you. S2 V8 Auto '01

Shoot me now and put me out of my misery!!!..please!:confused::confused::confused:

Behind the right hand rear tail light.:):) I know this coz I have been having a lot of fun with my tail lights recently :P

OK..I have had a play with stuff under the back and my car bears no resemblance to what's in the manual. I have to dismantle the lamp to get the globes out of the middle and the rear bumper lamps clip into the bumper not screw in. The lamps on the body of the vehicle have two globes at the top...

When a friendly Mr Plod pointed out that one of my brake lights wasn't working, I got to noticing just which lights came on at the back of the vehicle and which didn't. It seems the indicators in the rear bumper work fine, but the red ones next to them dont at all. Are they fog lights? if...

Gday Paul I have a V8 auto, and it depends on what you are towing and where. On the highway, the auto is brilliant, much smoother, but if its over 35c, autos overheat more often than manuals as you have the auto gearbox dumping its heat into the radiator as well. Around town I might lean towards...
