as far as I'm aware that rules out all L series. But I've been wrong in the past

Hey Rich how did you go getting a car. Find anything?

try a delivery company called "Can Deliver"

Hey SSS1600 . Did this problem ever re-occur for you. Exact same thing has happened to me and it came good after i gave it some herbs. Then a week later it has started playing up again today and wont idle at all now. Whats odd is i did stop at one set of traffic lights and it would idle fine but i h...

Not long ago i was faced with the same decision. I got a valve regrind gasket set... pulled the motor out. did all the top end gaskets and put the motor back in in a day. No more leaks and still brilliant offroad. A lot cheaper then the ej conversion if you dont have the money right now.

Good luck getting it registered if its one of the three. Possum Bourne couldnt register his in Aus.

On Way home from Pinjarra yesterday saw a nice lifted right up L series with wheels hanging half a foot out the side. It was a Dark Grey one i think with Private No. Plate NJC-**9 .

Seamed to take of from servo a bit quicker then a EA82 would too.

Hi Shark , Im just down the road in Mandurah. I have a 91 L series with a ea82 carb. 14"'s and it has a slight suspension lift. I'm on the hunt for a lift kit at the moment but even so it still goes fantastic offroad with the ea82 and its current height. Through sand im generally in second gear low ...

Had a look at the car today (got time afer work, with daylight) cheers for the info on timing, i was a bit baffled, also why are there 2 belts? redundancy? ill fill the tank and run it low and calculate the fuel usage properly, the car cold starts fine, though i idle it for a few mins before drivin...

Hi, I have been in this forum for a little while now but i never introduced myself.. Im Gary.. im south of Perth in Mandurah.. i have only had my 91 L series for a short while but i am already addicted to taking it bush. I go out a bit with some friends in their land cruisers and I'm looking at modd...

one trick we have always used to protect the dizzy is to cut the the fingers outta a rubber glove and run all the leads through them then put the rest of the glove over the distributer then run some silicon around all the wholes then cable tie them all. it seems to work well unless you do get water...

Hi, Im just wondering if anyone has had any luck waterproofing their engine to go through some deeper water. Things like sealing leads, sealed dizzy , snorkel ? If you have, and it worked well, any advice? So you know I am going to attempt this with an EA82 Carby motor. Sick of having to hold back a...

how far south do you want to go and what is your Subi. Mike. Hi mike, preferably looking for some 4wd tracks. I have a lifted L series and i like to push its boundries. I would go a fair way and do some camping but I am sure there would be some fairly descent tracks around Dwellingup / Harvey / Ser...

Is anyone from or around the peel region that has some decent areas / tracks they can recommend for taking my suby.

I will have company so it can be anywhere withing the fun to extreme category and we can help recover each other.

with the speedo difference, i found my speedo isn't out i'm running goodyear tg's, i tested it against an 02 corolla and its still right. Weird or what It must have been out before the change. technically speaking. if you increase the rolling circumference it will travel further per revolution. mea...

...Another factor often overlooked is that larger diameter tyres roll over obstacles easier and don't fall into holes & ruts as much as shorter ones. ... . The difference offroad (and on-road) was well worth it. Good to know its worth it. I knew it would make a difference to power but thought it wo...

OK, .
Just to clarify the questions im asking relate to having larger diameter wheels on my gutless workhorse. but i think i am happy with what info i have recieved now thanks to all.

yes with 27's and a lift-kit it was abit slower. But 14inch wheels make f/a diff if they have low profile rubber, which i was referring to. on a side note, my wagon does a friggin mean burnout with little cheese grater 13's. uhuh :) alex There wouldnt be any point going to 14's and a lower profile ...
