Try sensors... I very much doubt the accumulators/spheres are cause for consern. Lack of suspension movement is to my expirience the sensors that does not recognize the vehicle being raised, and thus the AHC system keeps pushing hydraulics into the system (and the accumulators), leaving no...

Other threads have some info on AHC too... for instance this one... https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=137234 AHC is in my view very usefull, can if slightly modified carry huge loads. Possibly not for racing drives, though, and the sensors have not been completely waterproof, so...

Sure it is my DD, another car would cost... approx as much as the fuel it might save (I know, sounds strange, but I'm from DK where cars are taxed 180% on purchace). :confused: Having a 99 V8 with all options anything else would be a step down in comfort etc too, so I really dont see any...

vx-r: be welcome to make a contact... henrik.christensen and-this-sign-you-know dk2net.dk, then I can send you a phone number. My AHC has no load problems anymore (smiling)ans i nmuzj100: thanks. I take it that you suggest mine is overfilled.. i'll double-check when cold...

Just my 0.02$... Do not overlook the sensors... they tell the computer about the state of the AHC system, and if the sensors are fault the computer may try to lift the vehicle for quite some time, before it realises it cannot, and then marks it to be in some indefinite state... Low it you...

Hm.... slight diversion here, sorry... but NMUZj100, if your A343 in your 100 is not getting hot, how do you threat it under heavy loads or slow speeds (in low, I know, but otherwise?). Mine gets very hot if I 1. Run D/High (O/D off) uphills at 12-15% incline at less than 30 mph (mountain...

Just for the record.. my exhaust on my 1999 v8 has just been replaced, at 270K Kms (175K miles), for the first time... bought an original again (yes, expensive...), as Borla's etc arent damping the sound quite as much and TME does not last that long.. no sign of trouble on my manifold..

I have towed a 2T caravan, having at least 250kg on the tounge (wich may not be recommended, as heavy loads are on the moving parts of the trailer coupling). I have had the cruiser loaded to 3600kgs++ and no problems with the AHC - as it is adjusted to handle additional weight above what the...

Generator short? My 100 developed a generator short that killed the vehicle like that. Even a new battery only lasted 5 kms, then the vehicle went dead again. New generator, and both old batteries are still working fine. Happend at around 240KKms. And it seems as the charge happens around...

front storage options Hi as an addition to my previous post: No, the water bladder is resting on two jerry cans, that in turn rests on a crossbar, that rests on two halves of a roof bar. Each half roofbar fits the ARB round tubing, and is mounted vertical, resting on the top of the ARB bar...

Two higlifts? Hi I think something unintended must have happened during upload/storage of pictures... it sure looks like my rig on the pictures, but the text is not mine... ?? Nevertheless, the two higlifts are there because I have one, and my trailmates hj61 resp hj61½ (80-engine :-)) did...

Alternator... ? Hi My LC100 V8 had a bad alternator - it actually discharged the battery and when that happens, nothing works anymore... Refitted a new battery just to get the vehicle home (5 mi), and it nearly did not make it!:crybaby: Had run nearly 130K mi when that happended, though...

Hi OME T-bars and stiffer springs can work with AHC. Mine has such a setup and I am very happy with it. Other treads has more info on this, but principle is to use the stiffer springs to increase height and/or carry more load. To have the AHC system function as it was built, it needs to...

few points... Hi If engine dies when A/T is set to move vehicle, it may be the converter hard-coupling engine and transmission - could be converter failure, but I am no A/T expert... Or it could be some electrical signal that is not telling the engine to increase power to maintain the...

Replacement Hi Had mine replaced at 204K Kms/120K miles due to overheating->converter disintegration->metal parts all over->new unit (ouch...):confused: Well, I have not seen the A/T light up, but have done long-time slow driving on tracks in hot weather (30 celcius in the shade). It was...
