    I must be insane .... Even more so

    How lucky am I ( just ask me wife ) A fellow forum member that is local contacted me and offered me this.



    Did you spot it ?? It has the right number of pedals in an early 90's model with a 3.9



    See why my wife is so impressed. Two rangies, both broken in the same places I was fighting with this bloody great heavy thing trying to get it into the shed.... When it occured to me ..... Well given it won't move under it's own power. That means the borg warner transfer case has died "open" rather than "locked' like the car sitting beside it. So why has it trashed a CV (definitely a 'CV as I have no steering lock when I turn the steering wheel).



    Other than a tiny about of gear oil .... The 'CV is dry There even looks to be traces of rust in there. Gee's the factory sure was scabby with the grease when they assembled these cars. How on earth has this 'CV lasted 300,000km+ with no grease

    I'll whip the "unsmashed 'cv" out of the other car and stick into this one (given the borg warner is broken in "open" mode, this is safe on the driveline .... I'll just get bogged with one wheel spinning... so keep out of the mud and off the grass ). Then we'll see how this car drives and make a descisiion on what I'm going to do with the two of htem. They are sister cars, except one is a factory manual, and one is a factory auto.

    seeya,
    Shane L.

    Well a previous owner of this Rangie must have been here before.



    Wow there is some serious grease on this ones 'cv. So I chucked this one into the manual for now without fitting new gaskets. You see I just need to see how it drives. The front diff obviously needs to be pulled down and checked for dry joints and oil weeping across from the center.

    It seems to drive really nicely. The gearshift is centering to the 1st/2nd gear plane. Which makes finding gears "intersting". I quickly googled this, it's just a spring plate on the top of the R380. A simple fix as it'll have to all come to bits to remove the borg warner transfer case either way.









    Though it seems to run really nicely, surely this gas kit must massively restrict the intake and loose a lot of power ?

    The two cars are really in incredibly similar condition. The interior is ok in both of them. They both look good in piccies, but the plastics will be broken on closer inspection These '92 cloth interiors seem to last really well.

    No doubt it'll all come apart to try and find where the A/C is leaking (that is always fun! ).

    You're a true sucker for punishment Shane, thought I was bad. At leasy you'll get the other one going again. Hard to get a Rangie made in that era that is manual, most were sold in auto 9which doesn't bother me because as I have said I am a lazy **** )

    Might know of that Rangie you bought, think the previous owner bought bits off me

    Yeah he has bought parts from you .... There both good sound daily drivers .... That need transfer cases and cv's!

    The new one has apparently done 50,000km over the last couple of years (including towing car trailers over the place, so I'd consider it a very reliable car). It does have a serpentine belt disco v8 and r380 box in it though. The one I bought from you has done 10,000km in the last 8months and hasn't missed a beat either ........... until the transfer case died (which I was kind of waiting for, so I'm not that fussed).

    seeya,

    Should be too hard to find. What will you do with two such great vehicles.
