Hi All,
On my 80 series, during rain season I get wetness on front passenger footwell and also at times rear seatbelt, is the water comming in via door rubbers? Appreciate any help
An update on this issue, I put in new power steering pipes, reserviour bottle and the problem dissapeared. Looks like some air was entering the system and causing the hard steer when cold.
Hi Guys,
I have a Return to centre steering (RTC) damper which I want to fit on my HDJ 80 but want to use it as a normal damper.
If I fit it without the spring would it still work well?

Are the...
Hi All,
I am soon going to re-spray my 80, looking for ideas on two tone or single tone grey colours members may have done on their rigs. Pics would be helpful!
Thanks

I had fitted a Heavy duty steering damper and could not even turn the steering, the pump seemed not to have enough power to turn. Once I switched back to the original damper, power steering acting up when cold but is ok otherwise. So doubt flushing the fluid will help, looks like pump seals are...
Hi All,
I recently noticed my steering is very stiff in the mornings, but as car warms abit it becomes ok.
I feel the pump may be getting weak. Anyone out there know if there is any adjustment or anyway to tell if the pump is weak?
Also if weak would you recommend changing the seals? or put...
Yes the new ABS sensor fixed the pulsating issue, now only pulsates on a rough road (which it didnt do before) so I suppose thats just the ABS doing its job
