Hi all, My 4 speed auto 105 has a smooth transmission, besides the change into third gear which is rough. It basically jolts into third. It also sometimes, when putting my foot down for a hill, will change down a gear and rev high for about one second and then change back into the previous gear...

I'll check the radiator for sure. It is an automatic. The fan clutch sounds like the most viable reason, I really find it hard to believe that the spotlights would cause cooling issues. The car wasn't towing anything, and was in the 2400 rpm rev range (ocationally up to 3000 rpm on hills for s...

I was thinking that as yes there would have been high air flow through due to speed. I don't think it could be bugs or dirt on the radiator or ac compressor, as I keep both very clean. It has spotlights but I feel like that should not cause overheating...maybe if I was towing a 3t caravan...

Ok sounds like that could be it. If there is an issue with the fan clutch or oil, would that mean the fan is not running? Or would it just not be running at a high enough speed? Cheers,

I have for the first time ever since owning my N/A 105, had the engine temperature move out of the normal operating range. This happened driving back form Albany with a full load (full roof rack, boot, and three adults), constant 110kmh with intermittent hills, and it was a 40 degree day. I know...

I was wondering if putting an exhaust system (including extractors) on a hzj105 NA would be of any benefit. Has anyone done this and seen tangible results, power or fuel economy increase? Cheers

It was just serviced when I bought it single oil has only done about 1000ks. He probably just overfilled a bit but I'll keep the oil I drain and send it in for a test to be sure.

Diesel. I'll drain a bit and keep an eye on it

My recently purchased 105 seems to have a high oil level reading, the dipstick level is about 5mm above full when read from a cool engine. Is this fine? Or is it better to drain some to get it perfect on full? Cheers
