Interesting again Alternator belt squeals when a/c is turned on. No a/c belt ATM just pulled in the a/c clutch Maybe I was chasing the wrong belt? I will do the a/c pulley bearing and have the gas checked. Finding a replacement A/C compressor on the interweb is very difficult, so I will hope I...

Yes that's the kind of thing I was thinking of doing Had my eye on a space wagon tyre carrier to refit but I don't think there is enough space to fit it into the RVR I'll keep thinking about it and do some more measuring Driving without a spare is not an option out in the country, especially...

I was thinking of doing the same thing but when I measure the diameter of the wheel it doesn't look like there is enough room to fit it (well at least not the way I wanted to do it) Bolt through the floor seems a bit ......well not right?

As far as I can tell the a/c was working OK just has a stuffed bearing in the pulley Magnetic clutch pulls in just fine

Yes I can put my hand up to a small panic when this light came on for the first time 100km from home Thought it was coolant too. (but of course it wasn't)

Aircon pulley bearing is shot. Pulley has some sideways slop. Question is.... A/C man suggests that if pulley bearing is gone the a/c is probably stuffed too. Toying with the idea of replacing the pulley bearing but am i wasting my time? Still my time is cheaper than $80 per hour. How long do...

If you want rubber bushes try Febest. If you have the Mitsi part number there is probably a Febest number (Amayama trading and Parts Souk also list Febest parts for Mitsi.) Freight kills, so if you can get the bits from Febest Australia it works out about the same and you have an Australian...

Also going to replace two perished rubber mounts on the rear torsion bar Old cars need attention

Maybe that noise I heard was something more important? Now have an intermittent squealing drive belt which I think is the A/C belt All belts were old so replaced them (not with Mitsi ones one of which was $125, the whole AM set cost less than that) Might get away with a service and gas even...

Are you really, really sure it's not the 60 amp fusible link hanging off the battery terminal? If nothing works at all it has to be that There should be voltage at the Starter always as there is no fusible link there and at the alternator connection (not the 3 pin plug) which is via a...

A belated update I bought the Febest parts, they fitted nicely and are doing OK so far

I got nothing else , unless the immobilizer needs resetting (or is f..broken)

Tinny metallic scraping noise which stopped and I can't see anything wrong (yet) (I have been only faintly hearing an underlying noise like something revolving and making a metallic contact but finally just turned the radio up. That fixed it.) Maybe it was a timing cover bolt that I lost many...

I'm an impatient ..... wanted it now so paid for the pleasure. Think it's fixed now

I read a thread like this and realise I still have a lot to learn

Short version of a long joke. There are about 30 million people (or more) in New Delhi Rich man decides to organise a fun run in aid of charity, gets 250 thousand expressions of interest. The police can't control such a large crowd and refuse him permission Tries again specifying all...

Ugly fat woman comes up behind me in a bar and squeezes my bum "You look pretty fit. Got a phone number?" Me "Have you got a pen?" "Yes" "Better get back in before the farmer misses you" I only got 4 stitches (I can't believe I posted that. You guys are a baaad influence)

Old but not dead Says to young blonde in bar " I can tell when you were born by feeling your breasts" "Really?? "Yes really" "OK show me" After about thirty or forty seconds of feeling and gentle squeezing etc "OK that's long enough, tell me when I was born" "Yesterday"

Gone off it for a while, being dead lazy or just don't organise myself very well (or both) I'm now hating windows 10 (still running 7) and all of the adverts Tried it and swapped back May have to do the swap to 10 before it gets expensive, although how do you charge for something you have been...

Still wondering why??
