Well not long after I bought my Liberty for a grand I found it was tending to overheat so out came the thermostat and all was good until this winter. So duly went and bought a thermostat and that when the fun started. It turned out the upper sealing face on the thermostat housing wasn't flat and it ...

G'day Guy's, Well this '90 liberty has been my daily driver for work since I got it, the fuel gauge came back to life after about 20 refills too, but got one niggling annoyance some time when I get out of the car the central locking kicks in and locks the 3 other doors. Other times it doesn't and it...

We used to get Roo's in the front garden a few years ago but when we got Ruff he soon learned to take them on and now we hardly see one and the fruit trees can grow without being munched. Yet if we go out the back of our place there are roo's everywhere but aint seen a Koala here although there are ...

G'day Guy's, Anyway found a 3 watt 33ohm resistor so bent the legs to fit in the connector and it slipped in nicely so taped it up to keep it in there and more tape to seal it. Did the battery dance for 1-1/2" and undid the 2 plugs. Put the battery terminal back on and kicked her over. YAY no more '...

G'day Guy's, I got in contact with the buyer and the old motor is still sitting upside down beside the carport. So I'm heading around there in the morning along with a DMM and I'll rip the one off the motor. Hopefully get to see just how they do come off. It does look like a split pin spring type ar...

Well just went and measured the resistance of the purge solenoid wire and the specified resistance is 35.3 ohms. I measured .345Mohm so looks like a trip to Repco tomorrow for a new one. Next jobbie is crawling under and ajusting the band brake for a smother operation shifting gears then finally fin...

G'day Guy's, Well finally found those plugs and got them connected then started up and checked and got Fault Code 35 C/U Motor Faulty vacuum pump motor drive circuit Now as the cruise control doesn't work guess I've nutted down to what to find and glad there was only one fault code up there. Now the...

G'day Guy's, Well finally got a service manual after a google search and it was on this forum albiet in seperate chapters those of us on fraudband. Anyway I've had a good read and before knowing nothing about auto gearbox's got a nice steep learning curve :D Anyway reading away the fault I have with...

G'day Guy's, Ok finally took some pic's so here they are [img] https://www.dropbox.com/s/8wb7l5ls22c5kzj/liberty%20rear%20view.jpg?dl=0 [/img] No signs of any rust but the clear coat on the paint is starting to peel in places.

G'day Guy's, Aint got the car home yet as still waiting for the seller to get it re-registered and should be picking it up tomorrow night. Anyway it is a 1990 Liberty GX with 175K on the clock and a fully reconned motor fitted less than 1,000 K's ago. The car is straight with no signs of any rust an...

Well this is one SA subi lover thats getting another car but will be off the compass for doing anything for the next 3-1/2 months as got a contract at the Flinders Uni. A 4 door Liberty with all the biscuits and with the joy if I want to drive around the farm I can do it in comfort.

Cheers Bryan

Gday Guy's, Well starting on a new job on Monday and my hilux unbrakeable broke with the centre bearing for the tailshaft giving way. Saw a FB post for a liberty which looks pretty neat so going for a look in the morning and dropping off $300 to get the rego sorted then pay $1000 on Monday night so ...

G'day Guy's, Well my days of my ol' trusted subi driving days are over so rather than just send em to the scrap yard I would like to offer them to you guy's. The deal is one subi still driveable with a bit of rego left on it BUT must also take the older subi which only has one wheel left on as it wa...

G'day Guy's, Well with 374K on the clock my subi has finally what looks to have blown a rear seal. Now wouldn't it figure aint really used the car in the last month as the Getz is our main get around car and the subi was put into service delivering firewood. Well with that comes a rant Inbetween job...

G'day Guy's, One of the projects I intend to do is turn that cnc I made into a 3D printer. I had a chat with my good mate who gave me that subi who is also an engineer about it and instead of using plastic wire using grated plastic. I explained my theory to him about how to go about it and he did sa...

Anyway weekends gone and was too busy with other jobbies so didn't get a chance to work on the engine. Today I machined up flange to hold the 400mm saw blade I have here which I'm setting up to cut upto 3" branchs. As the fire season is almost over this spring when I get time I'm cutting a heap of f...

I'm starting to have a rethink about the cylinder liners now and I'm thinking a hydraulic ram or 2 may be the go, already polished bore so no real honing needed. A quick lick in the lathe so get a good surface finish on the OD then shrink a heatsink casting over the liner tube. As you guys have stat...

Hi Stork, From the research I have done on the 2 stroke diesels you have got it wrong way around. Slots are machined into the liner just above the bottom of the stroke where air is forced in and as the piston starts to rise the single or double exhaust valve opens to expel the exhaust then just unde...

Is this engine a diesel? Hi AJ, First I need to learn to crawl with this project so it will be setup as a driven air compressor to prove what I've made can handle the rpm etc without failure. Then I'll make a radial cam so it can run off compressed air and get the timing and everything sorted that ...

No worries mate and sorry I forgot to thank you for looking for me too. Thinking on $200 + postage for the set of 5 isn't that much and I do like the look of the piston as they have a low profile which is what I planned so I can get more stroke. My next bathroom starting next week is worth over 2K s...
