Hi guys, This seems a little silly,but I am having trouble removing the globe from my front left hand blinker that is surrounded by the bull bar. The bull bar is the common 'Irvin' brand found on most Brumbys. Because the bolts that hold the blinker in place have corroded and wont release the blinke...

Thanks Bus driver,Brumbyrunner and SubyWanKenobi.
Yes it is a manual,I may look into putting an overflow in from a Liberty soon.
Appreciate your replies guys!

Hi all. Can anybody tell me if the Brumby (91) radiator comes fitted with a top up container(not sure what the correct terminology is) to the side of the radiator? The reason I ask is because not long ago i had the whole radiator taken out and serviced. I noticed since then that there seems to be tw...

Thanks steptoe I'll check that out.Just hoping its not a cracked head!!

Hi guys. I recently checked my radiator coolant level as the temp was rising rather quick and the radiator was way down.Couldn't spot any obvious leaks but when i checked my engine oil level it was way up and milky..... could the radiator be leaking into my engine oil somehow? If so this sounds pret...

It turns out the thermo switch was loose so replaced the clip and presto,fans are both working again.Seems the fan kicks in when idling at 85 degrees or just before halfway on the temp gauge as Subaman suggested.
So thanks guys you all hit the nail on the head.Problem solved.

Thankyou all for your replies.
I checked and it seems the thermo switch is connected.I will check out whether it kicks in while idiling.
Dfoyl,what is the 'OP' you refer to?I have air con if that matters.
Thanks again guys

Thanks for that guys.Now I know Ive still got about 10litres left when it hits the empty mark,Every drop counts now,petrol=liquid gold!

Ever since I spent a small fortune on a thorough overhaul on the Brumby Ive noticed that the engine temperature seems to heat up alot more,especially when stationary. The temp gage was fine before I had the radiator taken out and reconditioned and so was wondering if perhaps the mechanics forgot to ...

Hi all.

Can anyone tell me the size of the fuel tank on the 92 series Brumby as my fuel gage doesn't seem to work correctly.I used to think it was 45litres until recently when I managed to put in more than that amount so Im thinking it may be 50litres ? any help appreciated thanks.

greg

Thanks for your input Matatak,Gardiner and Jack. Sounds as though Im getting the usual mileage .

Greg

Thanks 90Brumby.
Mine is stock standard.Perhaps the fuel/kms is normal.

Hi all, I've just purchased a 91 Brumby and shes sweet. The only problem is she seems to be sucking more fuel then i thought for a 1.8,and so was wondering if anyone could give me a comparison of what they get to a tank. I'm getting strong petrol fumes which is why i thought i might shout out for co...
