Hi, might be worth checking the wiring inside the tailgate. Mine was doing similar and I found 3 of the 5 (I think) wires that are bundled together inside were shorting. If you take the trim off and look towards the bottom left hand side you should see the wires coming into the tailgate. Its the...

Thanks guys, looks like mine has the same clearance. I did try a pry bar and block of wood but the balancer seems solid. I have a problem with alternator belt squeal. I have fitted new belts and adjusted them as per normal but it is still there under acceleration. Don't want to go too tight...

Hi, I am a bit concerned about my harmonic balancer or crankshaft pulley clearance. I have heard of the rubber deteriorating in them allowing them to move and possible rub a hole in the front cover. Here is a pic of mine, how does it look to you guys?

Unbelievable , the hose arrived at my house (which is out in the bush) yesterday. If that was Australia Post I wouldn't have seen till next year I reckon . Excellent service from FedEx

Fantastic, thanks jibberjabber

Any idea where I can get air conditioner hoses for a 2003 Australian delivered hdj100. My hose with the high pressure service valve in it is leaking around the crimp. My aircon guy tried recrimping, but it hasn't worked. Looks like they are no longer available here in oz. Thanks

Thanks, I would be in town at sometime in the next couple of weeks so will drop into a windscreen place ask. Will post back what I find out .

Hi, anyone know how these plastic bits are held in? Mine had a new screen put in before I purchased it & I think they may have broken some clips as it feels loose & rattles from the wind passing over it. The faster you go the worse it gets. I stuffed a bit of rag under it & the rattle went away...

Hi, anyone put a oil temp gauge on their 5 speed auto...what's the best method & position as far as attaching the sensor? Cheers WC57

Pics a requested. I am lucky in that I have access to some fabrication equipment, but there isn't a lot in it. I used one of the original horn bracket mounting holes & an existing 'spare' hole. On top of the fuse box would be ok I guess...I have also seen the mounted over near the fuel filter...

Hi Ben, I made a bracket to mount it behind the grill on the drivers side. It sits nicely just above the intercooler. I had to move the two horns onto my bracket & used their holes to attach the new one. I know the charger is supposed to be ok under the bonnet, but it will be a heap cooler out...

Hi, just reading through the instructions for wiring up my Projecta dc to dc charger & can see that the ignition wire is only needed for vehicles fitted with a smart alternator. Does my Australian spec Nov 2002 Sahara have one, or can I leave this wire off? Cheers.

Thanks Dave, just ordered a Projecta 25 amp charger, a 'Power AGM' 135 AH battery & a couple of 50 amp circuit breakers to get me started. It will be a couple of weeks before I will have time to install them.

Thanks guys, mine is already 12 volt so not a problem there. Looks like I might star start buying some bits...money, money...but its fun hey, only live once.

Hi, my 2003 TD 100 series still has the factory standard dual battery system & the batteries are on their way out. When I replace them I will definitely need to isolate one to run my fridge (went camping a few weekends back & flattened both). I am thinking of installing a large SLA battery as a...

Hi Higgy, I recently bought a HZJ100 which is my first auto 4x4 after having many manuals. Its taking a little time to get used to it but I am becoming very happy with it...especially when driving in traffic. I have only taken off-road once so far & it went well. I remember being out in the...

Yep, CEL light is off & running fine again. The wire has repaired a few times...but never properly. The first time it happened to me was just after I had paid the seller all my hard earned $$ (after test drive, inspection etc) & was driving off in it. I turned back around & he knew straight...

Well I got it fixed this morning. I pulled it off & got a good solder on the broken wire...I will put some silastic or similar around both wires in case it gets bumped again. It is a switch & works with the air shutoff valve. It is in the closed position when the valve is fully open i.e...

Thanks for the feedback. My plan is to try & fix it this weekend. I will test it first & let you know what I find. Luckily I still have my trusty 80 series to run around in until this one is sorted. So far I have blocked off the EGR & put a catch can on (that might have been when I bumped the...

Yep I think I will have to take it off the vehicle to get a good go at it. Would be nice to know what it does...anyone?

Ok, sorry...looks like I put the pic in my albums not here. Can I move it?

Hi, I recently purchased a November 2002 100 series Sahara & am trying to identify the sensor shown in this pic. It has two green wires coming off it. As you can see one is broken off. I think it has been re-soldered before. The engine still runs, but is lacking power & the engine check light is...
