Had something happen to me yesterday in the Brumby that I've never heard of before, 4sp DR trans. I'd just started the car and selected reverse with the steering turned close to lock (as I'd been parked in from both ends and I'd not had enough room to get out onto the road on first attempt) and the ...

Thank you all, that's amazing help!! Especially the pics!

Hi all, Firstly apologies for being absent on here for quite a while. I've just relocated state, changed job and 100 other things which are only just beginning to settle down. I have an EA81 twin port engine in the final stages of rebuild, and my attention is now turned towards the fact that I have ...

Put a new battery in the Brumby...and this seems to have fixed the stalling problem I was having after first cold start.

Also fixed the problem of the battery running out of charge after cranking over about 5 times...

I've been offered 20k for my restored Brumby with low km EA81.

No way that resistor should be getting that hot. The resistor getting that hot would not normally be an indication of failure of the resistor but of an overly large amount of amperage (never mind voltage) going through it. It's like you have some sort of short happening on the other side of the resi...

My Brumby is always accurate and always has been - low kms though on mine. I believe my situation is an unusual one though...verified by my mechanic asking me "does your fuel gauge work??" Edit I will add that they are susceptible (I believe) to problems with voltage and that I had to replace the st...

Perfectly normal, mine is the same and it's never been touched.

Yes they really do, especially with low kms like I'm lucky to have. Mine's also just had the ignition system overhauled with new leads, cap and coil (was badly corroded) and boy did that make a difference!

My '89 had it.

I have one sitting in storage in Coorparoo that I need to get rid of - it has no manifold. Purchased running/no issues off eBay a while ago but I can't be sure how many km it has on it. Let me know what you'd give me for it and it's probably yours, especially if you can pick up. I'll PM you my phone...

Responding to the original post, why go to the trouble if the standard cooling system is coping fine? Seems like a lot of effort to go to (JMHO) to eliminate fans more of the time...

Today I got a brand new cover for my ute :smile: Went down to the trim shop expecting only to get it measured up, but it ended up being ready in 2 hours! It needed a new center bar and brackets, all up cost $270. Now it hides the mangled rear chrome strip nicely :rolleyes: Very nice indeed! Anybody...

Auto electricians generally have them, Tridon is the brand I have used.

Phantom, those two items in the list are how the wiring harness should be operating. The Fans will come on in the accessories position if the interior fan is on AND the A/C is switched on. Turn either off and they should turn off. The slimline fan will turn off with the lights on while the other fa...
