Just back from the local Mechanic, he reckons gearbox, I am lost for other ideas other than that except for perhaps the Power steering. Last night I went all over the L and tightened every loose bolt and nut, Paul Suggested that I check the fuel pump (good idea) as it was loose but not the problem, ...

Just about ready to go back to an EA82 in my L Series, I have an EJ22 converted L series with Liberty front running gear, everything south of the adapter plate is L Series (Clutch, Diff, Gearbox). I have been spending reasonable $$ to get this L up to scratch, but it seems the more I have something ...

Success, the two core radiator along with the genuine Subaru coolant (recommended by Paul) has nailed the overheating problem, also had the twin Davis craig thermos mounted on a bracket in front of the radiator pushing in. I was heading back from the beach at Wagoe on a 36 degree day and a mild tail...

Heya Bennie,

Yeah radiator is a two core 40mm http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-40MM-For ... Sw8d9UxyJ6 cost $175.75 plus postage, cheap as chips for a quality radiator.

Cheers

Heya Doug,

Heya Andrew T, Yeah normal running is fine but most of my driving is in soft sand within long distances with a tail wind, now my Silver L Series with an EA82 ate the sand and almost never overheated in the same conditions. I may have solved the problem with a two core radiator and genuine Subaru Coo...

the waterless coolant stuff ... a good old dose of cleaner stuff to remove scale and crud rather than just an RSR flush What is an RSR flush ??? - just had an image conjured up in mind of Paul in a wizard gown :D electric water pump and controller is not exactly a low budget thing - tambo - your th...

Ensure there's no HG issue. Paul will be all over this I'm sure. Yeah quite sure Paul has that one covered. Get a gauge that actually shows the temp value rather than relying on a factory gauge that points into space between a "C" and a "H". Spoke to Doug last night and I am sure he said there was ...

All of the above, especially the speed holes lol I would run it without a thermostat first, to see if the cooling system is actually able to cope overall (assuming the whole cooling system is not gunked up at present) Then if not go for the bigger radiator option. Also, when are the fans kicking in...

A thermostat that opens at a cooler temp http://www.mishimoto.com/subaru-racing-thermostats.html A twin core alloy radiator http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FOR-Subaru-Liberty-1-8-2-0-2-2-4cyl-94-98-non-turbo-40MM-Aluminum-Radiator-AT-MT-/221910477274?hash=item33aae529da WRX vents in the bonnet http://ww...

Looking for advice on how to improve airflow under the bonnet and through the radiator. Just bought a lifted L series with an EJ22 conversion, it has a liberty radiator and twin David Craig thermos, however it has an overheating problem when towing or in the soft stuff which causes me concern as my ...

Maybe some spoiler like thing underneath to really scoop the oncoming air into the radiator ? My Brum ran a little cooler in summer when I removed the pair of 180mm spotties from its airflow path - just can't see the natives as easily anymore:( Yeah gonna have to try something, took the L for a goo...

One snapped bolt and half an hour later the changes to be compliant are complete, as I had to turn the bracket upside down the bolts now stick up so tonight's job is to cut the bolts flush so no sharp points protrude upwards. On the upside of all this I researched the DOT W.A website and found some ...

Is the Department of Transport W.A being run by the right people to make decisions in regards to fitment of Light bars. Lets have a look at the stupidity of it all, firstly the fitment of a slimline light bar to the top of a roo bar is ILLEGAL "Really" what clown decided that one, there is no impedi...

Spoke to Paul today, he has a problem with his mobile phone and hopes to have the prob sorted soon.
