yeah heard that one too, manual said it was a roll connector so just used that... its a monday mission i think

send me an sms on 0415615015 and ill call you back to arrange a time and place to get it.

gday everyone, just wondering if anyone had the steering column left over from a half cut, specifically the roll connector behind the steering wheel. Need it urgently for the B4 - pic attached



Cheers, Jay

She lives once again... Massive shout out to subarino for sorting my wiring issues, turns out the problem i had with the alarm and fuel was related. As well as the brant keypad immobilzer there was another alarm that was stuffing up, pulled that out, primed the fuel a few times and she's idling like...

yeah i dropped mine to 20psi before we got started. the cruiser that got bogged first didnt drop his.... and look what happened:)

you can see the roof of the x5 in the 2nd photo behind the hill... just thought i'd point that out to validate my reason for getting bogged in the first place:)

Yep, went on an AHG recreational 4wd course today. Got it free when i bought the forester. Got to use our own vehicles so that was a plus. Day was great, only a couple of hours theory and hen hit their 4wd course. Was expecting something pretty lame but they had a good variety of climbs, descents, a...

yes...

just about to start hunting for the brandt manual now

hope not... that mean taking the intercooler off again:) definitely bled it through till i got the new oil and no bubbles... feels normal now, have to wait and see if it shifts okay

yeah got the master and the user code but neither seem to do anything... there is a box under the dash that has a battery in it that i've heard can go flat when left for ages, so that could be the problem. will be investigating on saturday

righto, all sorted, was engaged all along, had to pump the clutch about 30 times to get it extend the operating cylinder ram to pick up the fork, bit more oil and good as gold. ready to fire up now apart from issues with the crappy brant alarm system .... got it cranking over but no fuel is getting ...

problem solvered..... pumped the clutch till my leg went dead, topped up the fluid and she's working good now.... rather overestimated the problem:)

but thanks everyone for suggesting ideas.... i must try harder next time:)

righto, it appera the clutch bearing was engaged the whole time, tried levering it towards the firewall to no avail, so thought i'd test it by levering it forwards (operating the clutch) to find that its definatelt doing what its meant to. Next question is - The pin of the operating cylinder isnt ap...

thanks for the advice fellas, the slave cylinder is mounted on the box, yeah took it off to bleed it and held the bleeding nipple on top, cycled about 100ml's through it to give is a clean and ensure no air bubbles. I have definatetly put the thrust bearing on the correct way:) and i never stuffed a...

just going to have to try harder, this is what the manual says...

Move the pedal out first then in ? They click in when u first press the pedal. im sure the ones ive done have been like that, i do realise it pulls the Release bearing away yes, but moving the pedal in and out a couple of times i would be surprised if it doesnt engage itself right, so its a pull cl...

pressing the pedal pulls the thrust bearing away from the pressure plate, so thats the opposite of what your saying

its a hydraulic "push" clutch

complete opposite from from the cable operated pull clutch in the L and my

i haven't adjusted it if thats what you mean. The thrust bearing is not engaged, thats the problem. its not grabbing the pressure plate like its designed. slightly different than an MY or L
