Demmo

xg is a fixed window expensive mmm so I had better take good care of the ones on my stock piled parts down the back

just a thought maybe you could get the bolts from Mandurah bolt supplies as you know what size ect

that's great mate so when do you want to do mine ??? haha glad to see another au done up

it may have been repainted had had the standard metallic tinter removed and had a harlequin metallic tint added in its place looking at the mint condition of it I guess its a professional job um that's my opinion and I have been known to be more wrong than right oops what does everyone else think

lol

I had a similar thing happen on the van and the passenger door would open if left unlocked while driving locking the door seemed to stop it from memory the mechanic changed the door mechanism but I don't think he changed the pillar striker plate. that's handy to know that the striker plates are same as rear sedan doors I have only owned utes and vans in the e series so I will have to have a look next time I am at Tipmart cheers demmo

are you wanting to fit them to an xg as that white ute is an xh with the rounded window trim so they may not fit tight on xg cheers demmo

just a simple idea as I am a old fart with a cbf outlook especially when it comes to pulling a dash apart easy but putting it back together well !!!!!!!!!!!k it as our local station plays cru!p so I installed a fm transmitter hard wired in it has a usb port headphone jack as well as extension speaker jack I mainly use a usb stick with my grampa music on it and play it through the original stereo. the other advantage with this that music can be played on any fm radio while you are within transmitter range.

my au did something similar the other week and then stopped an refused to start. lovely 200+ks from home. local rac attended and after all usual checks decided to change the crank angle sensor and it run. so 5 days on it is still going. maybe same problem, not sure how you check it but I am sure someone hear will enlighten us. cheers demmo

so my claim to fame is I shouldn't play with cars period. I undone the clips that held the wire harness and the two missing screws (not mine the cars)were there behind the wiring harness for the electric trailer brakes. so know I have replaced the dash panel which works and removed the wire and hardware for trailer brakes and some switch gear. now i can get my fat hand up under the dash ya!. thanks 4 your help dean cheers demmo

thanks mate I will have another look just wondering if they are the screws that are holding the small wire harness below the speedo unit even though they don't appear to be near the cover guess I will be brave an remove one to see what happens then cheers demmo

yes you are correct with xf xg but xh I can only find 2 screws on top and 2 midway under light switch an opposite side but across the base is all smooth it feels that its attached directly below and inline with the top screws but I cannot feel or see any attachment points the 9 kg gimpy has crossed my mind to make it unattached I rang the local wrecker an he has no wrecks of that vintage they have all gone to scrap so I guess I will wait for someone to post answer it will be simple and I will be in the dog house lol

hi being a male !!!!!!!!!! I thought it would be simple to remove the dash surround so I can remove the instrument cluster to replace the blown globes. I only found 4 screws the top comes free but across the bottom seems still fixed in place now I have looked but I can not find anymore screws or clips so before I loose it can someone tell me where what to look for I am at the point to let the gremlins have it an ….k it go to the pub cause I am beat and I dreading the answer that a five year old could fix it lol

have to agree with deano if the wires are 1 black and the other is yellow with red trace they are low coolant sensor as on my zl wreck they are connected to radiator if you want a pic of lets know cheers demmo

ok i need some advise from the knowledgeable re auto 4 speeds i may have sourced an auto box from an el 4ltr falcon as a replacement for my xg 4ltr auto can someone tell me if it is a straight swap or is there modification needed sorry for limited details as i haven't laid eyes on the transmission so i am in the dark a bit its typical demmo style need fast decision if i want it the driver can grab it tomorrow arvo as he has room to squeeze it on the backload so any advise would be appreciated cheers demmo
