I was going home on Friday on South Eastern fwy (Monash Fwy) passing Dandenong/Hallam saw this L series 4WD Turbo Sedan on a trailer with Mitsubishi towing it... Does anyone know about this L Series? What was it used for? Know what specs it has? All I could tell it was used for Rally, has Roll Bars ...

or air leaks? Sometimes if you have an air leak it'll idle fast.. or um throttle cable needs adjusting?

60L tank, fuel light is supposed to come on at 8L but the fuel senders inthese cars tend to get out of wack with age.. My guage is all over the place, btu the fuel light still comes on accurately at 8L left Yeah over the age the gauges becomes un-reliable, only best way is to spend over $400 under ...

I've always used an G Clamp and a block of wood on the pistion to retract the psition, never had problems on a few cars (XT130 Corona, numberous of Camiras, Toyota Camry, EA82 L series, 95 Liberty) haven't had a problem, just be careful what you do. I find this brake pad change job very easy, just r...

10 litres roughly - Lasts around 100 - 120kms depending your driving style.

Once run out of fuel at 620kms at 59.5 litres used but lucky fuel station was down the road and managed to get to the pump!.

Named him Jared. So the car is at a standstill for a week or so atleast. Will source the parts and update u ...

Heh When I got my Liberty I wanted twin exhaust, so went around a few places some laughed, some said can be done but needs body work to be done plus price wont come cheap and you will have some small power loss, and you go and have a look under the car see what it needs to be done! and also the fuel...

[quote="Pete"]Since you have gone that far I would suggest doing all the rotating bits while you are in there. I think the collection of recommended stuff is something like ] Yeah I agree, because its a pain in the arse if you had to change the water pump or bearing in next 5000,15,000, 25,000 klms ...

i never knew VN's came out with four cylinder engines.... :? i thought they were the buick 3.8L v6??? 2.0L four cylinder was the camira family II motor, yeah? how does what you have just said, work??? Yep thats correct, Holden Family II Engines 2.0 litre OHC (Same what they used in Astra, Camira, P...

it'll be either -

SOHC EJ25 or
DOHC EJ25 or

isn't there a legal problem with putting in an engine older than the year model of the vehicle? dam sorry spoil.......tho i'm not sure how you tell the year the engine is anyways........ No as long the engine is same "model" such as EA82 1.8 litre then you won't have any problems. About 2 years ago...

If you wanted more power, you could get EJ16,EJ18 EJ20 or EJ22 engines without any problems, maybe talk to Brain at subabits in Clayton and maybe he'll give you pointers, In Ringwood there is an EA82 engine at "Pay n Go" on Heatherdale Road, looks like it has been recently rebuilt as I could tell it...

I didn't realise there was a 2.5 SOHC ? I am more than happy to be corrected on this one, if they do exist I will be giving it sime serious thought for my conversion.. MYSUBA, there is a sticky about fitting the 2.2 SOHC liberty to MY's and L's it covers most of the gotcha's and for anything that i...

If you are mechanically minded & have a bit of expeirence on working on engines or a close mate/know someone who knows how to rebuild engines would be a best bet, buy him a slab of beer. All you need is parts for it, I estimate would be below $600 for the parts if you took the engine out and take it...
