some of the other symptoms on my l series include, missing the popping out of carby. through experimentation we also found it runs smoother and with no missing or popping if a spark plug is fully removed. we have compression tested it. cylinders 1 and 3 get around 1100 kpa while 2 and 4 get around 8...

cheers fellas

had thought bout wreckers was just seeing if there was any other options

hey guys the steering linkages on end of steering column have sum play in them. . they are small uni joints, however they do not appear to be replaceable. does any one have any idea of where i can get some new ones or how to replace the uni joints? car is a late 88 lseries non power steering 4wd wag...

can post here but not over there

hey camo is it auto or manual choke? if manual make sure that the butterflys are fully closed or at least half closed when the choke is fully engaged. mine runs crap cold atm without choke in the mornings even in townsville 'winter'. if auto choke then maybe it needs adjusting?? not sure on that tho...

Hey Which local guys did u talk to? Fulrcrum, pedders? I know me brother (username Matt) has replaced those bushes with poly urethane on his Brumby and he got them in townsville. Talk to the guys at Cheapa Auto Spares on Ingham Rd, me bro most likely got them thru there, but he will confirm that if ...

username (??) u do not have to disconnect brakelines, you can just take the caliper and hang it out of the way. me and my bro usually hang it to the strut using an ocky strap or rope. u do have to disconnect the hand brake cable off memory though. u should replace or get someone to replace the inner...

Hey Matts me bro and yeah he means a dual port EA81 running 32/36 weber, lumpy cam, some ridiculous timing, unifilter, snorkle.... He will be able to fill u in with a couple more details. Think he is mainly after bit better performance and a grunty note wouldnt go astray. it already has 2inch from Y...

Brumbys have a filter under the tray and another in the engine bay. i would b definately investigating the fuel pump as well and possibly replacing as they are only around the $100ish mark off memory. i had a simliar problem in me l series

i got the same ones from sunspares one or two weeks ago and they were 27.50 each. i doubt PBR has stopped making them.

They dont have to be red to have a grey interior... Mines a beige-yellow colour and it has a grey interior + grey vinyl floors. It is a later model at 89 though. Grey is even rarer in L's than MY's i am lead to believe by the wreckers at Beerwah in QLD.

Thanks for the replies I will check the wheel bearings, but they were only replaced 10000klms ago with new bearings after being replaced 10000klms b4 that with new bearings. If it is the bearings i will b wondering what i am doin wrong cause the car is mainly used on road. How do i check if the wash...

My l series has develpoped a clunking noise from the front passenger side. It does it at all speeds constantly, does not change when clutch goes in and coasting, and turns into a creek when slowly turning. All the cvs have no play in them. It will do it when i hit a bump on the road. Vechile in ques...

I think i know the one my brother is talkin about and if it is the same one it also has a non replacement bullbar, chrome fuel filler cap, also some weird glowin stuff on the dash and i agree really straight and clean. It also sounds like it has had some engine work done to it maybe EJ but not sure....

I am after a paint code for my L-series subaru wagon. It is a december 88 model DL. It is a pale yellow colour, some people call it beige but it is definetely (to me) a yellow colour. I dont believe it is a very common colour. The sticker with the paint code on it is long gone. Thought i would give ...

Thanks for the suggestions ppl but i think the noise has stopped as i havnt heard it in a while, could b my driving style and my exhuast burble though. I think it was some of the bushes creaking as that is the only thing we really touched, (sprayed about half a can of silicon spray on all the bushes...

My car has recently developed a constant creaking noise that is something to do with drivetrain or suspension as putting the clutch in at speed has no effect of the noise. The noise also only seems to appear after driving the car for a while. The suby in question is an 89 lseries dl 4wd wagon. We fi...

Also easier, i believe anyway, if u dont have aircon u can remove it without the dash removal. I have air con so i had to take the dash out.... Agree with lang, much eaiser second time. If u break one of the connections to the flaps, replace it before u put it back in....
