    Bought my second 80

    That's a nice clean looking wagon. :thumbup: You don't have the problem in the UK of the sun cooking the paint and vinyl but, then again, we don't have salt on the roads in winter in Oz - I think I'd rather have the sun. That's an interesting place for the exhaust to exit.

    My 80 is gone

    Thanks for the replies. I bought it for AU$20k 16 years ago so the depreciation has only been AU$375 per year. It doesn't come much cheaper than that. We will live very comfortably on our pensions so if I want to do a trip I'll just hire a Cruiser for a few weeks.

    My 80 is gone

    I've just sold my 1991 HDJ80R, it went this evening. I was the second owner and have had it for 16 years so it was quite sad to see it go. We had three vehicles for the two of us (a BMW520d, a Ford Falcon ute with a tipper body and the 80) and we are currently selling our house and downsizing to...

    Adjusting 80 series steering box

    Well, if a new one is 1300 and a rebuilt one is 1200 then it's a no brainer as our American friends would say.

    Adjusting 80 series steering box

    Sounds expensive to me - that's over AU$1900 but you did say it is new and I don't know how much a new one is in Oz. However I had mine re-done with a reconditioned (genuine and rebuilt) unit in 2007 and I just looked up the receipt. It cost me $660 for the unit which is 445 Euro or 380 Pounds...

    Dreaded brake bleed issue

    Remember years ago when paper filters were just coming in they did not have non-return valves. So, every time you switched off the oil would drain back into the sump and have to be pumped up again on switch on. It think it was Volvo that first put non-return valves in their filters, though I...

    That's better: 654 -456 =198 +891 =1089 Good one Clive

    I don't think that can work Clive. If you take any 3 digit number and make subtractions from it you can't finish up with a 4 digit number (i.e. a bigger number). e.g. 654 -456 =198 -891 = -693
