    HJ45 oil in water jacket

    Reposting here in the hope of a wider audience - I posted in the diesel section but tbf I rarely look in there even myself. Got my engine a bit warm last year because the rad cap was leaking and my gauge wasn't working at the time. It hadn't lost much coolant, so I topped it up with water to...

    HJ45 (H engine) oil in water jacket

    Got my engine a bit warm last year because the rad cap was leaking and my gauge wasn't working at the time. It hadn't lost much coolant, so I topped it up with water to limp home. Forgot all about it and it sat most of the winter. Ran it for a while today on the drive, and I've got steam...

    Colour Code Confusion

    Ok, I messed up... My HJ45 was originally white, and despite a colour change to grey, it retains an aftermarket white roof which matched the white dashboard. It was getting shaggy so I decided to repaint it. I searched online and found the colour chart. The only white for 1977 is code 031...

    Total Eclipse 2024

    Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of an eclipse expedition in April anywhere along the path, or a good place to watch from (so many I'm sure). We last saw one in 2013 in Uganda which was pretty cool, so would love to blend another one with some 40 Series action!

I can see that the pins are worn, and I've adjusted them to the max, but I'm feeling like even a new set of pins will not close the void at the top. Its as though the door and the hole are a different shape. My HJ45 was converted from new...

    Alternative to a Winch - Front Bumper Storage?

    I don't have a winch, and don't plan to fit one. I'm looking into the gaping hole behind the front bumper and wondering what to do with it. Looking for suggestions and photos of what you (non purists) have done I'm thinking I might fit a large Ammo case in there to store my jack / ropes /...

    How good is your handbrake?

    Ok, so my new shoes need to bed in still tbf, but they can't hold me easily on a slope - I haven't tried swinging on the lever but I'm just wondering what to expect when the handbrake is working optimally! I've read of people shearing off the plate in low gear - I can't see this happening at...

    Transfer Seal and Handbrake replacement

    I'm sure this job has been done to death already here, but I've struggled to find a few snippets of information while researching the Transfer Seal Change, and so I thought I'd start a new thread to try and help anyone else in the same boat. I have a 1977 HJ45 with 3.6L H engine and H41...
