Thats an interesting trail of thought you re suggesting cause i did replace the aux belt not too long ago

listening to it again, it sounds almost like a wet belt, checked the hoses to makes sure everything is ok. a buddy driving behind me also noticed that it is leaning slightly and im getting an intermittent fault related to accelerometer readouts too different so today i cleaned the plug of the...

100% what i did not understand is which cable has melted? is it the thick positive between the battery and the starter?

thanks for the update!

100% there is a reason why s/s exhaust manifold will not last a week

i have hydraulic hoses and they work fine. also quite easy to fit. i think if you want to fit stiff s/s pipes you will need to remove the body

On a serious note if i planned on doing any significant rock crawling i wouldnt be interested in the stock 3.54 ratio anyway but would be looking at something a lot lower

Well im about 3000km away from Ashcroft's, so that doesn't help 🤣🤣

Correct, i just found the faq section: There will be a ratio difference but it is quite small, with the centre diff locked on a low traction surface this will be OK as occasionally one wheel may slip to stop the driveline ‘winding up’. When on road with the centre diff unlocked, the centre diff...

i will probably just fit an air locker for now as its a simple change and will reinforce the diff by A LOT (Their biggest weakness is the chocolate single pin center which is currently rattling a little bit when the wheels are in the air, so something is probably coming loose)

aircon compressor is brand new. im 99.999% sure that its something to do with the ace as it goes away when i remove the ace relay

to be honest i already sent them an email (waiting for a response) but i did want another (unbiased) opinion

its almost like a scratching noise, had a similar noise when a wheel spacer came a little loose and the wheel was touching the brake plate a little bit. the high pressure pipe is genuine and (should) have the valve. anyway, dont think its the issue because the the pipe has been in place for a...

thinking about rebuilding my rear diff and use the 3.5 Heavy duty crown wheel and pinion from Ashcroft. My question is will it work ok with my from 3.54 standard front diff? eventually i will also rebuild the front one but as it will cost around 1000eur each (including a locker) i was hoping to...

I currently have another strange issue which i managed to narrow down to something related to the ace. I have what sounds like a friction noise. It comes up when the car starts to warm up a little when cornering and when it is fully warm it is a constant sound. It sounds like a backplate...

Found a thread here where someone blew into the tank and guess what, that worked 🤣🤣

I had to replace the Ace pump but i cannot get it primed. I filled the reservoir with fluid left the pressure hose off and tried cranking with the injectors disconnected and nothing. I even started the engine but nothing is coming out. Is there something im missing?

i just put a thin piece of copper around the terminal so that now its nice and tight!

i might go this route although i m not a big fan to be honest as i like being able to "brag" when the temperature is showing 44 degrees Celsius on the control lol. If i bridge the earth for the compressor and fan relays, would this engage the compressor if the ecu decides to turn on the AC fan...

Replaced the engine bay fusebox as it had lots of corrosion and now there arent any errors anymore will still hack the system though so that the fan comes on whenever the ac is on. Was planning to bridge the earth of the two relays unless there is a better method?
