    Trailer hitch/loop thingy...what the hell is it?

    Looking at a HDJ81 - Please help

    I have an auto 1994 HDJ80 1HD -T and have driven the manual version, personally I would choose the auto over the manual box; it is far smoother and better off road in most situations. The manual is marginally more economical running about town but this difference disappears on the open road...

    Land Cruiser vs Ford Escort

    The 4 holes on the rear bumper are perfectly adequate for towing suitable trailers with pintle hooks such as the NATO type which is what they are designed for. http://www.dixonbate.co.uk/html/pintles.htm They can be found on many vehicles used by NATO. It is usually used to tow military...

    Help, CDL stuck, cannot undo

    As Rich has said wind up may be binding the CDL, it is good practice to lock and unlock on a loose surface to help prevent this but we all forget sometimes to do it quick enough, especially if one is jawing at the time, I have found that reversing will unlock a stubborn CDL almost immediately...

    Acetone in fuel?

    Acetone is miscible with water so may be it can help in removing any water from the fuel. It is a very good way of cleaning out vessels that have water in them, just add acetone shake to mix with the water then warm up and it all just evaporates very quickly.

    swap switches on transfer case???

    Both switches on mine had gone caput and no amount of working on and soaking in WD40 would encourage them to work, however I don’t think that they are inter -changeable as the terminal blocks are different, even though they will screw into each others holes. :eek: :o

    What you think I should do!

    snowwlfwarior, Consider looking around a little more and talk to a few of the specialists by phone rather than e-mail and see if they can tell you what it is about there system is best. It may be just possible to get a very good system for a few £ less if you are prepared to shop around and...

    What you think I should do!

    Dan, The majority of LPG conversions over here still allow the the use of petrol (gas) and are therfore duel fuel. Normaly starting is done on petrol and the system automaticaly changes over to LPG and reverts for starting,k the better Multy Point systems can I believe start on LPG and so...

    What you think I should do!

    Scamper, Power is usualy reduced but only maesured at 3%-5% which most would not notice and I think that some of the best Multy Point Injection systems over come this.

    CDL Switch Only???

    Raven Tai, As far as I am aware these manuals are not available and are out of print, the dealers are less than helpful here when it comes to that sort of thing. I missed out on a FSM a few months past when one came up in Australia, I would have bid if I had realised that they were so...

    Birfield repack DVD. (not bad)

    This DVD is an excellent tool to have; it is much better than any manual that I have ever seen and was very well recorded and performed by a confident crew. The whole job was made to look very easy and at a relaxed and at a comfortable pace, so much so that I feel that any one, novice or...
