Thanks for all the replies ok the battery case is gloss black the transfers say it is manufactured by century-Yuasa Queensland. Stamped across top of case says. Made in Australia. The sticker on the side says repco. Sealed battery with 36. But it doesn’t have anything stamped or written to indicate the age of it. Why I would like to know the age is it’s fitted to a camper with duel battery’s . The other battery a century is 2 years old it’s a 24 month warranty so towards end of life. I’m told it’s best to match the batteries in age and cca. So looks like it’s best I replace both before I go a wandering cheers Demmo

what after building it driving it almost flying in it now you want to stop just use a she'll be rite mate haha ps some pics would help too

wow this post was short lived

"its fixed n fxxk does it haul arse" after an explanation like that Dave he is probably out running the blue lights somewhere between borders from vic to qld on the covert 2020 run haha hmm maybe I should give him my outback to wake it up a bit

bump how did you go did you find the location of switch and how did you fix???? cheers demmo

ok thanks I would love one of the 2 door models but that's a pipe dream anyway thanks for reply cheers demmo

just checked your pics in December post an noticed in background a red ford which looks about a 64 model which looks in good nic are you the lucky owner ? if so would love to see some more pics of it if you would cheers demmo

cheers for the info

thanks for the suggestion Dean although this problem is spasmodic, I have a feeling that it may be the tumblers in the ignition switch. before I left on my last trip away in it I sprayed an electrical contact spray into the barrel. For the first two days where I was stop starting heaps I only had to knock the steering wheel a couple of times. So I sprayed some more into lock and the remainder of the trip it was back to square one where the steering wheel is the immobiliser. Think I will have to go find a wreck an have a look see an maybe try an ignition swap, or just sell the outback and put the money into the xg that has been neglected over the years. one less car licence may make the war office a little happier

Just to add to that I have same problem in my xh where it won't turn over half the time with key in start position them bump steering wheel an hey presto your away it does have the j3 chip fitted already so you maybe like me have another underlying problem that I am still searching for anyway sorry to put a dampener on this I hope your problem is not same as mine an you get it solved cheers demmo

nice deck out what material is the bricks cut out from they look great love the idea cheers Demmo

now that is an idea would tell you which ones are loosing pressure would some fluro colour in balloon's first would show if that air is escaping around outside of injector as well just a thought

well thought I would get the old ute out of the hay shed an take it for a run. so back it out ,left it idling while I closed up shed. jump in the ute ,motor dies and I can smell burning plastic behind kick panel. !can great so found that mice had got in chewed the wires and sound deadening thus frying wires. long story short pulled the wire harness out .made replacement still wont run. found and replaced the two green relays which switch tank selection, relay under overflow bottle seems to be engaging when ignition on, but I now need some pointers to where I might find more fuses or relays that need to be activated when motor is turning over to fire up pump/s. I am hoping someone might be able to post suggestions guides ect as I would like to get it running so any help would be good thanks

thanks jack I did find your uploads of wiring ect but when I downloaded an try to enlarge them they came out blurred an difficult to read. when the daughter visits I will get her to have a go at downloading the pics as she knows her way around computers better than I. I found one of the relays was burnt out and the wire had plastic covering burnt/melted. looking at your photos that you posted of xg setup is identical to xh. cheers Demmo

pumps are not working have ignition lights the immobiliser light flashes when key first turned on then goes out motor turns over but does not fire. have fitted a pressure gauge in the fuel line as it enters injector rail and shows no pressure even when cranking. waiting on an inline spark plug tester at moment postage is slow lol. when switching tanks neither pumps prime but the fuel gauges appear to be working. I believe there should be a signal from the computer that engages the pumps when cranking and shuts pumps down when engine doesn't fire. I think this is correct if so can someone point me where I would find the start point of this wire an where it would feed from an run to if I hotwire one of the pumps to try and start the motor could I do more damage to the electrical system ? any thoughts anyone?

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

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
