I'm really thinking of having an auto locker 'auzzie' fitted to my rear diff. Is it a complex job? I fear it's beyond my capabilities. Is there someone who fits these? What's the process? I just felt my kzj70 would be so much better with a rear diff lock. I miss the diff locks I had at the...

Hi Ben, Sounds like a great life change, just watch out for the poisonous bits! Take care and have fun, are you going to ship your cruiser or start again? Ps thanks for all your help! Cheers,

Thanks for the tips. Sorry I was referring to work use on private land, I don't have a 4wd tractor any more and my old power major is a serious mess maker in the boggy peat soil. All i want to do ferry logs from a few fallen trees for fire wood reasons. Do the chains give good grip if used...

I changed the timing belt and idler pulley. What a pleasant straight forward job. I found it helpful to drain 1/2 litre of coolant, remove the top hose, viscous fan, pulley, shroud and belts. (10 min job) It just gives a little more room for examination. The last timing belt did was on a...

What the... Why would you do that!? Mad man.

Yeah that's the way to do it. I saw this video last year . mad machines. The yellow one was my fav!

Hi Rodger, I haven't done yet. I'm having the underside wax oiled this week/next week Before I did the brake work it felt more like solid or that's what I seem to recall. I will try isolating method prescribed by yourself and let you know. One another subject, I was planning to replace the...

That's really cool! Nice job!!

Hi Ben, Thanks for your advise. All back together now I kinda did similar regarding the torque wrench. That's a handy trick!! Your right it's a messy job for sure. I borrowed a friends flaring kit and made up some new brake pipes. Milner also gave me £20.00 back as of a good will gesture when...

54mm socket arrived so I've stripped the hubs again to set the preload on the bearings. Is the Pre Load taken from the first test after torque setting the preload nut? The second test seems to pull easier? +my torque wrench does't go down to 5.4Nm?? So I've had to guess a little. Well I...

Wow Ben that's some serious thread... I will have a good look through. Loads of help and info , well done! Do you think is possible to keep the original bumper look and mount the winch behind?

Thanks Rodger, I think I see where I went wrong.. I had my assistant (the mrs) push the pedal down, hold it down, then I quarter turned the bleed nipple once the fluid stopped moving i closed the nipple until the pedal was depressed again. Is this not as good as depressing the pedal with the...

Few yeah... just ordered one of those for 1/2" drive 54mm sockets an hour ago! Do you think the fishing scales will be accurate enough for the Pre-load? I checked them before I dismantled against the FSM (thanks again) And they were at around 3kg before the hub moved (without break calliper)...

I changed the oil, filter and fuel filter over the weekend. Fuel filter was seriously rusty. I was thinking of trying o remove the drain plug a flushing the tank rather than removing it. Oil pressure seems to be the same as before. I also changed the brake fluid as it was like black.... I...

Hi thanks, I ended up using water pump pliers and a chisel... I plan to check them again next week. I measured the locker and hub nut at 54mm?

Hi, Does anyone know the size of the Pre-load and locking nuts allowing removal /fitting the front hubs. Has anyone used a fisherman's spring scale as a tension gauge to load the wheel bearing preload? Ed

Hi, it was a lucky find. In the right place at the right time!!! Well it's not perfect I've found a little rust patch where the body just above the running board meets the rear wheel arch. Has anyone found this? I gave it a good tap still seems solid? It did 8k each year for the fist 2 then 2...

Hi All, I've just bought a seriously cool low mileage 95 70 series with the KZT 3ltr engine. Its a very tidy example with 70k. I had to sell my 98 4.2 tdi amazon recently which I was very attached to. Some of the guys helped me fix a diff fault (thanks to all).. Amazing collection of...

Sorry it's a diesel. I would always like to improve the durability. But times against me. The last 2 pinion must have lasted a fair while and I don't give too much stick! I really need to get her back on the road pronto so I might need to go with the repair! Onto the rear axle. Is the rear...

Ha Ha 2WD, Landy boys around me would love that! Well I've had It looked at and it's the front diff for sure just as you guys thought!!. It's stripped off 5 teeth and munched a bearing. I've had the parts costed to replace at 850.00 I haven't had any joy finding one! I rekon. Could buy a used...

Hi Jon, Sorry for my late reply I've been unable to unlock my computer! Putting in the wrong case... The drive shafts appear to be intact. I've started to look around for potential components. Blimey they are few and far between ! I will probably have someone else do the work as I really don't...

Hi, Better than the transmission I suppose! I was towing forward although I did have to reverse through a snowdrift. Done that before too. The rear dif actuator ceased about a year ago too. Shouldrobobly do that at the same time but everyone I have asked/enquired with just say "mmm must to be a...

Blimey tell me about it. It just ain't my day! An hour before my 53 plate run-about golf gt tdi engine light came on. Im praying that's simple I'd prefer an amazon warning light any day! dear oh dear. 2 cars in 1 hour!

Hello, Can anyone help? Thump bang and grind. I have a 98 auto amazon 155k I was trying to pull a medium sized car up a snow covered straigh track with no success. I've towed a variety of things in the 7 years I've owned my amazon. I tried the central diff lock in Hi low , then Low box. It...
