needs to be pass worded and name linked with the forum. But its mediawiki and has weaknesses in this area. Rather disappointing because I did some pages in there too, all crapped up now. If it is to be revived, it might be best to see if there is a backup say 2 or 3 or even 4 years old - before spam...

the tensioner is very very expensive to replace though.for what it is I reckon if you can release the tensioner and then re-tension it, and the seal on it looks good, its as good as a new one. It should be obvious if it is a failed part, so needlessly replacing it?:rolleyes: Cam Seals are a good thi...

had this exact problem some weeks back in OBW. Found some plug under the dash worked loose, one of those long rectangular ones that are difficult to get to. I had fiddled with them earlier in the year, and didn't quite fit their support back properly hence worked loose. For a while it was intermitte...

Are those Phillips Xenon bulbs more bluish than white ?

have fixed much worse than that at home, but you need a welder, best is a MIG welder that can do gasless and gas. Use disposable gas bottles - cheaper. And its a very good excuse to buy a welder and learn to use it. The cost of it is quickly recouped on your first repair, your own labour is free, pa...

Sell various L series 4WD CV shafts

one front shaft, never used, so new. I'm told its not the best of brands though, so selling for $50 should still get value out of that.(less than 1/2 new price) another front shaft, its been well used, and still good. The boots are good, ifirc, the boots have no wear as i replaced them so ready to g...
