hi all, i was trying to do the same job (replace suspension bushes).... but can seem to get the eye bolts to budge, they dont look rusted at all, but even after fully releasing the nut and after a few hits with a hammer, still no movement, in the end i used a shifting spanner on the outside of the e...

ok so what sort of price should i look to pay for;

a 948 - $??
a 1098 - $??

and what sort of modifications are required to fit a 1098 where a 948 used to be?

thanks

well thats no good... how can i identify what type of gear box i have?? ive been offered one to purchase out of a 1000... does this mean it is off of a 948 of a 1098?? (probably a silly question, but i want to make sure it will fit) at current i have a 948 with a remote control that looks like the o...

Hi all, was driving my van the other day all was well, then i went from reverse to first with no problems but then as i accelerated in first a loud clunking had developed in the gear box... the clunking only happens in first and reverse.... all other gears are fine, what have i done?? thanks in adva...

not much smoke, and it looses very little oil ( maybe 200mls in 5 weeks) how ever when it does loose a little oil is when it been driving hard...ie hy waydriving then sitting at traffic lights after this long drive.. i dont think i had the throttle open when i did the compresion test, i guess i will...

hi all, my 948 is currently running at about 90psi in all 4 cylinders.. i have heard around the grape vine that the standard/new pressure is around 160psi.. how much difference does this make to the engine, and is it worth either reseating the valves or replacing the rings?? what sort of work is inv...

i took the speedo all apart, and there apears to be no way of 'adjusting' the spring, of coarse i can try to unbend it i guess, but that isnt very accuarate.

can you suggest an accurate way to unbend/loosen the spring?

hhmmmm sounds like fun....


any thing else i have to think about other than maybe detach handbrake cables and maybe brake lines?

hi all, i want to replace the bushes on the rear springs on my 58 van.. i ve done the rear ones with the shackle plates, no problems there... however the front ones seem far from simple... do i have to undo the Ubolts and the rear shackles to slide it off the front or is there an easier way.. thanks...

i took the speedo apart and there doesnt seem to be any means of adjustment..

now i guess it is time to get a new speedo...'''

how do i determine the correct speedo to get?

yes the filler is in the back of the diff, which i believe makes it the 8/43 ratio...

what do the two screws on the back of the speedo do? is there a way to adjust the spring tension?

is the a more accurate/easier way to check the diff ratio??

replace all filters, and checked the fuel flow, it is fine.. the problem is that when you accelerate, all is fine until you get to a certain RPM (on each gear) then it just splutters.. and losses all power until the next gear change (up) then it goes fine until it gets to a high RPM, this happens th...

it was contaminated with some horrible looking sludge, and even the fuel that was still in there wasn't to great looking. whats the best way to see if the piston drops down easily? do i just take the suction chamber off and then lift and drop the piston? or can i just push the piston lifting pin and...

found the was a lot of contaminated fuel that i bought just prior to that drive.. after cleaning out the tank fully and cleaning out the whole system... the same problem is there... will start and idle fine but as soon as you try and put it in gear, and drive, it just coughs it self to death...

hi all yesterday i was driving and all was going fine... then i got to a round-about and decelerated going into it... when i went to accelerate to go through it, the engine died, not a complete stop but it sort of splutters as if you turn the key off for a second then back on again.... i then had to...

could it be in the steering box as both sides started to become affected at the same time?

i have developed a rattle in my front suspension somewhere on my 58 van. i assume its some of the bushes. its fine on straight road but when there is a curve it starts to rattle. does any body know which bushes (if it is bushes) would cause this. and also how long does it normally take people to str...

it a 58van....

so will a standard ute "bubble" fit on the back of a van?
