Thanks Clive :) The Rock Nemesis buggy should be bigger, better and have a more experienced driver by next years competition too, keen for it but not keen for the many late nights work again haha. A Christine update, since i bought a car that weighs 2,000kg I needed to be able to tow it, so i...

Back from a lenghty period off forum, havent changed a lot on the 105 but i did pick up a comp truck RJ70 about a week after my previous post, which is the main reason the 105 has been living life on the sideline. Not sure if id bother with a thread of its own but if anyone wants to have a squiz...

Thanks Clive i will have a read through that thread :) A customer who comes in to my work pretty often is an Automotive Electrician and i asked him about my issue (he's worked on lots of 100 Series mine vehicles) and he said Ill need to replace the pump, as it is irrepairable and flush the...

Yeah I will just buy a replacement new one to fix my issue, but wouldn't mind tearing the dud apart to see what's happened and how they work. Yeah I believe so, not sure about the oil/refrigerant level though.. how would i check that? Okay thanks Clive I'll look into that so I can sort any...

With mounting your table in the upright poisition maybe look at something like putting an extra bit of ally pipe between the cuttent 2 and weld a 25x10mm bit of flatplate with a hole drilled out and then notch out a 10mmx3mm(plate width) hole in the table and use some sponge tape or rubber along...

Made a small bracket for my extended diff breathers, just back from the air filter box for the deeper river crossings I'll meet in future travels.

I own a 100 series with solid front diff (105 series) and i have front free wheeling hubs fitted and part time gear fitted to transfer case instead of being full time. Personally I prefer it, steering is lighter, yes you send all the power to rear so it cops a bit more but rear diffs are a lot...

Ah yeah i could imagine, my father owns a 1976 Holden and it's steering is like trying to pull up an anchor haha. That's good, besides the shaft snapping, I'm going to buy the kit shortly with all seals, bearings and the shaft included so hopefully it will last another 17 years. Also found a...
