:roll: turns out the culprit was the lower rad hose (the mech had told me to replace it "just for peace of mind!),it has a split two inches long that just dumped all the coolant all over the road leaving it to run on oil for cooling as well as lubricant,and oil is not multi tasking :oops: ,and it all happened on a hilly twisty section of road so eyes werent on the guages at the time,that is until the smoke started to pour into the cab from said fried motor,well at least i wont have to fork out $200 + for a new water pump,at a rough guesstimation parts should set me back around the $500 mark,thats just a rough listing from the 4wd catalogue ,so will have to see if any cheaper from local sources,oh well , better here than on fraser island amongst all those tojo's 8O
oh and getting towed by the tojo ,it was my tojo so not that bad,it has redeemed itself for a couple of weeks till thumper is up and running again https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
glad to hear it isnt heart attack material Al....
will be interesting to see how far out your estimate is,, :?
:roll: tis nuthin major,will be a little set back is all,mite take a few weeks to get the cash sorted but ,it happens ,thumper will ride again!!!
twas actually trying to justify buying a second rangie for spares if one came up cheep on ebay,and was wondering if the EFI gear would simply bolt straight on to a carby version or is there something slightly different?
The first thing Cousin John did with his "new" 84 Rangie was to replace the hoses.
He forgot the heater hoses...and guess what leaked :wink:
