Gday All,

well picked up the Rangie and was impressed with it on the drive from the old owners place to our shed. The V8 was a lot better than I expected and the 5sp was smooth thru the changes, everything bar a couple things work so that's even better. The sunroof still worked

So a couple of questions if I could , I have searched but lots of varying answers.

Tyres 205r16 ? this is new to me , not sure on the profile.

rear windows don't work but the motors are ok - known issue ??

other than the roof lining , a good service and cut and polish the old girl is in pretty good nick

Cheers Ean

Noice.

Oh, and Ean, you knows the rules!

BTW, the original tyres were 205R/16.
I think the aspect ratio was around the 78-80% mark.

I've discovered a couple of classics mouldering away under ripped tarps only about 5km away from me on a Macadamia farm.
I have no idea how far gone they are.

Anyway Ean,

But the silly old duffer doesn't know how to post pics

.

So Ean that is your first job before you pic up the RRC (you know the rules you haven't picked it up yet as there are no pcs) is to sort out your pic posting abilities.

Good luck with that

Regarding the windows - If you're getting power to the motors and the motors work, the mechanisms will all be gunked up and probably the motor gearboxes too. I cleaned all the runners, motor gearboxes and lube the slides up with some silicon spray on mine which took them from very slow/stopped to all working fine.

And yes, where are the pics? 😉

Sticker say Trocadero red . gave it a cut and polish , came up good except the roof and the rear drivers side panel.

Wonder who will and wont be able to see these.

Cheers Ean

Nope - cannot see any pics - just the grey dots.

Also checked this thread on my phone as well - just grey dots as well?

No pics so hasn't happened yet.

Odd, I could and can still see them on both, but I can't post off my laptop atm and can't work out why!

**trout1105** · 29th July 2018, 05:49 AM

I can only see grey dots with a "-" in them, Is it a PC/Mac thing?

**rick130** · 29th July 2018, 07:01 AM

And I just opened the laptop and no piccies either, but I can see them on the phone!

At least I can post again from the 'puter, I have no idea why it's suddenly working
?

Anyway, it's a really nice Rangie Ean.
