HDP's not much cheaper than the OME's...I fitted Safari's in the end that I got from Mikem, the ones they use with their 50mm lift kits.

Also thought the shocks were gone, but it is more the blades that are getting pap in the front.

Hi Buks, eintlik omdat ons heeltemal te opgewonde geraak het oor die aluminium sweisery :laugh2: Die tubes wat tussen voor en agterste "arches " loop is te naby aan die hoeke in gesweis, maw die deur se raam bo gaan by die kontoer vd "arch" verby steek. Hulle moes minimum 10mm na...

Alu canopies for SFA's are only custom built it seems, haven't seen any that could be bought off the shelf....mind you most fabricators these days only build by order which kinda makes sense with the current economy. I saw what looked like a Rhino canopy on an SFA 'bout 3 weeks ago, maybe give them ...

Sal sien of ek kan terug kom....

Made it from pta to OR Tambo without cutting out

Not really the same issue but I had the entire cluster replaced because 2nd & 3rd were worn on the edges, causing a bit of a whine. Gearbox places will charge up to R4k to open & check. First you could check the pins in the turret where the gear lever goes into, I posted a pic or two in a si...

Tx oom Dawie...het vmiddag n 70Ah gekry vir R1490.
Sover nog nie gevrek ni...hoop maar dit was die fout

I sincerely hope it is that although it would still not explain only the signal disappearing unless the batt has an internal short somewhere.Will have to put an oscilloscope on that trigger line with a new batt fitted

Hi Louis, omtrent so 14.2V op idle, maar dan het die batt oornag gelaai op die Benton. Gister die NL solenoid uitgebrug en die clamp op die hoof batt + los gemaak en geisoleer. Hele ent gery met 2de batt sonder probleme...tot ek die ligte aangeskakel het, toe elke 200m gaan staan....Alhoewel die roo...

Could it perhaps be the battery that is on its way out?

Ok so when it died again tonight about 3 times on the way to the local Spar which is less than a km away, I noticed on my test LED that I wired in that there is 12V on the sensor, There is a TTL low from the ECU trigger input (in other words the connections are fine) and the led flashes when I crank...

Bring hom bietjie verby eendag by my. Wil bietjie 'n log maak van die Ecu. Op Rudi sin was dit ou drade wat op die Altenator was wat sy enjin laat uitsny het. Kon dit duidelik op die log op die Ecu sien As ek daar kan uitkom... vandag elke 200m gaan staan Hoe maak jy die logs? Ek het sagteware en d...

No real progress over the weekend; work among other things... The fancy gull wing doors to give level access right to the top of the roof inside are not going to work out so lekker with the elements and some of the dimensions, plus it would be an awful waste of the cladding sheet (besides, I hardly ...

Stef

Was kinda my thinking as well....component failure should be permanent not intermittent; what I find strange is that it comes right after it has been left off for a while. Wiggled every wire & plug while the engine was running; haven't tried a replacement wire yet (new harness is R380 so contemp...

Stef

Problem still persists....wired a led straight onto the optic sensor output so I can see whether it is the optic or the dicktator messing around. Personally I think it is the latter so I'm looking at Spitronics models & prices

Let's see how these two...well 3... turn out.

The beginning of our rendition of a canopy; we're not professional aluminium fabricators but not looking too shabby so far 2 full days' work and 2 basic frames done; I now understand why these things are so expensive...it's a lot of work!! Cutting & welding the angles is really time consuming, n...

Stef

Eish...that is super annoying; funny how it almost always is the thing you least suspect. I got the optic as part of the entire setup and at the time thought it to be better than the magnetic pickup, simply because it worked flawlessly with the TP100 and did not require having that extra little box ...

Stef

Might have found the problem... Been driving with the ECU out in the open where I could monitor the LED's to see if there might be any indication as to which direction I should focus. As it turned out I had another cut out and I could clearly see that the orange and green LED's were completely dead ...

Definitely not the ignition switch...the actual switch part is separate from the key barrel so whether the key/barrel is worn is irrelevant. Checked the switch contacts & they are as clean as a whistle. Remove the white cover to access the contacts...ring setup similar to the steering column swi...

Thanks gents, I sincerely hope it lasts...I will have drive this bakkie until it takes size 13 rims... I was tempted to weld the nuts onto the high tensile dowels, but that would make them soft again, hence the stud lock/epoxy approach.

Stef

The < R50 fix:

2x 6mm HTS dowels - R4-40
1 x 5.9mm HSS drill bit R40

Nice tight fit with stud lock, nuts on the outside also tight fit with stud lock on the dowels and epoxy between the nuts
and the housing

Been to Gemini yesterday during lunch hour, they also don't have...(they did however have the infamous crank seal that no Toyota dealer in Gauteng had in stock, I'm talking Toyota OEM seals, not the R100 samples).

Thanks for the heads-up.
Call me old school, but I still like to be able to walk in, look , feel , touch and then buy. I find places online, generally avoiding online shops and naturally any business without a website, unless recommended by someone.

Pretty much the same as the w56...those pins in the turret, that's what need; don't want to buy the entire turret/retainer.

Stef

In this case the pin more than the Alu:

Pins are actually pressed into the turret with slots machined into the sphere on lever.

Stef

If you want to get the SACHS kit, ask for kit # 3112 (235 mm), it is listed as the 2.2 clutch but actually meant for the 2.4
The pressure plate assy of the catalog listing for the 2.4 doesn't even fit on the flywheel.

Stef

Where in Pta can one find those 6mm pins in the gear shift lever retainer, the ones that the lever hinges on? Or do they have to be riveted/pressed in place with a special tool

Stef

Well I think Mazda & Ford are very competitive with their prices, and the techno gimmicks don't look like a tablet stuck to the dash. The raptor stickers on a Ranger seem to have the same "cult following" as the so called dolphin shape 3 series BMW among certain sections of the populat...

Stef

not to mention their "genuine toyota parts" stamp...LOL

Like when I went to VW Mcarthy once for brake pads....so I ask: "do you stock ATE's?" and the answer :"No sir only VW genuine pads". So when I asked to see it...it was ATE with a VW stamp on it....go figure

Stef

my SFA is with Hollard (prior to that AGriSA), so far I 've had no issues with payouts. Theyr'e just strict when comes to car rental.

insured for 113 100 @ R503 p/m which includes R53k in extras

Stef

That's what the guy said...haven't verified it or tried getting one. I would imagine that it would not be from VW though, probably an aftermarket one manufactured under license from VW or something to that effect

Stef

My issues with VW and their after-sales support is also "well ranted" I suspect VW would have kept the car for a week simply to order a new gearbox for R6k from Germany and told me that they fixed it and then they have a spare that can be fixed up for under R2k as I've already paid for the...

Supply in SA is meant to be 50Hz Frequency is not really doubled, the latter half of the sine wave (180 - 360 deg) is just inverted, the period from 0 -360 is still 0.02 sec.

Stef

I expected to see nothing....'cause they don't catch fire LOL

Stef

Just extend the socket loom & relocate the socket or buy a plug & socket and make up an ext lead that just plugs into the socket on the box.
The Warn manual has a wiring diagram, if memory serves it's just a 3 wire loom.

Take it a step further...hook up a wireless controller

I'm no expert but in my experience intermittent problems like this are very hard to troubleshoot. When it happens again you must try and see if the problem is spark or fuel related. That's just the thing...the symptoms are so momentary that that one can't check whether it's fuel or spark. Although ...
