It seems like it is a problem on forums these days. Every one is a expert. There are some people with good experience and then there are google catchers. Unfortunaly the google guys overshadow the experienced. Ryan (sorry) is a good example. He is strongly opiniated, but also goes out and uses...

How do you know? My 3.7 have done 115000miles and only headgaskets becouse of viscous collapsing 15km into lesotho. Not bad engines, you don't get really bad engines these days. Only bad tech's and bad operators. A car is as good as it's looked after either by the owner or the tech.

Good for you not nudging little puffa. We encountered alot of them in the eastern Cape (Patensie, Baviaans, Willowmore) and what i've noticed is that the one you've shot (with your piccy catcher) is much brighter than the ones in EC. More than once if we stopped next to it on the road, it turned...

The snake is a pofadder iirc.

Glad you did it Adam! Nice pics. I notice that it not as green as i remeber it, and that changes the complete picture. Looks more rural. Did you also noticed the power loss on your way to the top? Whats next? Baviaans? Namibia?

It is posible, depending on your diy skills. The black plastic lining inside the bumper is for parking lot mishaps and help the bumper to regain some of its original form after light impact. You need to remove the front bumper (i think there is a how to somewhere iirc). You need to remove the...

Did you check for any misfire, dead plug or dead injector? Coolant loss without a leak? I assume it is the 3.7?

It's 12L/100km and that equates to 19.6mpg. Thats it. Stop go all the way 7km takes up to 40 minutes. And the Focus only have 8000km on the clock. Regarding the jeep, its intresting to note that with the 31'' BFG's the speedo shows 120km/h and the GPS shows 121km/h. Spot on i'll say. With the...

I've scanned through this thread quikly and feel that if your car is in good nick and the engine well maintained you can't complain about mileage. I get 11.7mpg in daily rush hour traffic. When on the back roads and highway i get 18.81mpg. That compares with The toyota's and Land Rovers. My...

What he said.

4.10 is the diff ratio (Crown wheel and pinion ratio). If you have a 4.10 ratio in the rear and a 3.73 ratio in the front and you engage 4wd, you will break a prop or the transfere case. Reason for this is that your front wheels will turn faster than the rear and you will brake something! Just a...

I used the grease that came with the sliding pins.:freak3:

But thats the thing, it was replaced. With new ones! From the agents.

Last night i replaced my jeep's front brake caliper pistons. About 800km ago i replaced the sliding pins on the calipers becouse the dust seals was torn and resulted in the sliding pins seizing. The dust seals came with new sliding pins in a complete set from Crysler. (The pistons also came in...

Yip, the spin on filter is for the 45RFE, the other pan filter won't fit.

True words.

Ja, its a rip off. No wonder its not on every spares shop shelve. BTW, will a optima out perform a Deltec with 30ah more capacity with R2757? i doubt it. It reminds me of the two guys with their fortuner's with every modification under the sun that made remarks when we (me and a friend with a...

Just as an FYI, the Optima Yellow Top and Blue Top Deep cycle batteries are designed for starting as well. Also, a quick search on Google.za turned up this: Deltec 34 Sixth Street 2090 Wynberg Phone: +27 11 786 4911 http://www.deltecpower.co.za/ Thanks for that link Ryan, every day...

The only optima batteries we get here is out of Chrysler cars. There is no agent here that i know off. Steve, a switch sounds like a good idea. did not plan on jumping or starting from the second battery becouse of the distance to the second batt, and then you need really thick wire and to...

On the 2.4 and 3.7 i know you have to remove a piece of the down pipe, 2 clamps. Diesels not to sure.
