Hi all. My wipers have slowly been getting worse and hitting the bottom of the windscreen now. I got told about an "easy fix" of replacing some worn plastic windscreen washers. Ordered the (hopefully) correct parts, but I'm having a hell of a time getting them seated. Can anyone advise if in...

Awesome, thanks. I ended up doing exactly, basically spent the entire afternoon undoing a bunch of work :-D . I ended up sorting it all out though! Lesson learned.

Hi everyone, I've been reading through a few posts here but can't quite get the answers I need on aligning the front panels on my 85 HJ60. I'm putting together my front radiator/headlight support and the fenders seem to be sitting a bit lower than the support. Is it just a matter of loosening...

I forgot to thank everyone for thier advice on this thread. Alas, it got worse and I've dropped a second hand motor in there. Which is running heaps better.

Thanks guys. Looks like it's rings/rebuild either way. Nice $7k bill :) At this stage I'm wondering if I can take it on this road trip in Tasmania over xmas/nye . 7 days, no more than 2hours of driving per day. No towing/roof racks etc. Mostly tarmac with a couple of dirt roads. I don't want...

Hi everyone, so I'm troubleshooting a few issues with my 85HJ60 (Aus spec) and would love your help/advice. I've searched this forum and haven't really found anything specific to this issue. So really looking forward to learning from guys. My 2H engine with an aftermarket turbo has done...

Can anyone confirm if this is the same in a 2H ?

I haven't measured exactly, but I'll for a short run tonight and then see what the catch can has. Move to the 24 volt/diesel forum? I didn't think that a 2H engine question would work there. But I'll post up. Thanks for the info tho!

Thanks for the detailed info! Comp test came back even across all cylinders.. so I'm confused there. Results below cold/hot: 1: 420/440 2: 453/420 3: 340/420 4: 425/440 5: 420/440 6: 450/430 Will it run for a bit longer or should I stop driving it straight away? We were planning...

Hi everyone, so I'm troubleshooting a few issues with my 85HJ60 (Aus spec) and would love your help/advice. My 2H engine with an aftermarket turbo has done 424,000km and has the following symtoms: - Blows black smoke when running for an hour - Blowby (not sure if excessive) - Catch can fills...

Following this with interest

Thanks for this. Happy to lock/delete this thread if it's unnecessary.

Is there a parts compatability list specifically for 60 series? I've done a search here and online and only found things for 80 series and bits and pieces. Happy to turn this post into one and compile in this first post? I know that 80 series rear suspension bolts in to widen the track...

Looks be dammed! 😂. I'm pretty wary of rust. Especially down here in Melbourne. I think I'll go the generic route tbh.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I'm afteafter a set of these as well. Really curious to know what other options there are for non genuine mud flaps.
