Tyre and other advice sought please
jjsaul:
on mine ive fitted a steering guard (did its job as well...when i hit a road sign lmao!)
other things i would suggest doing are removing the rear bumper end caps...you will only lose them offroad hehe
Old Warthog:
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the advice. I think the diff guards will be the buy this month, plus the tyres. I think I will go AT as I've got Camac MT 31 10.5 R15 on the Daihatsu which is by no means a fast vehicle, but you can still get some "interesting" handling on wet/greasy roads plus a load more noise. With the greater weight/power of the Rangie plus it will be my day to day vehicle, I'll be a bit more road biased.
RRB, perhaps you would like to PM me a price for your ATs if you want to get rid of them.
So the plan is: Tyres and diff guards this month. steering guard and tank guard next month, then a modest lift later. Then remortgage the house to pay for the petrol :D Still it's worth it for the lovely sound.
Cheers for the help

Now I've seen the pictures I'm just a tad confused, it's an '86 but it's a 3.9 EFi, do I sense a retrofit?
If so then get it on GAS, halve your running costs and make the engine last longer.
I've PM'd you BTW.
Old Warthog:
RRB:- Yes - well spotted, the previous owner did say that his son had put a new engine in it - which allegedly came from a 91 EFI police rangie.
Thanks for the PM, I'll have to take a rain check as I've got some problems to sort out on the electrical side.
Problem 1: the main beam doesn't work when you put it on main but works when you flash, side and dipped are perfect.
Problem 2: Neither front window operates, but the back ones do. I've checked the fuses and they are ok. There appears to be power drawn when the switches are pressed, could this just be something simple like stuck windows or jammed motors?
Problem 3. Press the front wash wipe - nothing happens, press the rear screen wash and the front washers operate :?
Are the last two likely to be MOT failures, since its due shortly?
Cheers for any advice

1 you must know needs sorting
2 isn't a failure I think but could be classed as unsafe. I've never seen them tested though. Some cars have 2 fuses, one front, one back...Occasionaly it is known fore the label on the fusebox to be wrong :shock:
Otherwise it could be worn motors, the switches could be upside down (sorry if that's too obvious) the mechanisms could be jammed. Go steady if you strip them as the steel runner/glass channel rusts away, under a tenner form Paddocks :wink:
The mechs are farily simple beasts though.
Oh, just check the front and rear havn't been mixed up or something daft.
3 dead easy, there are 3 washer motors on the bottle, the big one does the headlights, the other 2 samll ones do the front and rear screens. Someone has mixed the 2 up, reverse the connections on the 2 motors.
Nedd any more help just ask.
