Well i put her on yesterday & noticed a slight leak so drove the car to work anyway & after work got a 22mm socket to tighten the bottom fitting that screws into the box really tight then tightened the top fitting then noticed & tiny little weep of fluid from where the guy welded the fitting to the pipe so went to Bunnings & got some knead it with the intention of plugging the tinies hole then drove to the atm & steering went all tight again so long story short i noticed a massive pool of fluid pissing out from the passenger side near the crossmember so something has seriously shit its pants there so managed to get the car back home & up on the ramps again & am gonna wait til tomorrow after work to see what the damage is:( -

I went to Lukes last night & bought a v8 pipe & cut the flare off to get the fitting (the pump end had a female fittting instead of a male fitting) & did the same to my "new" one & reflared it. I didnt plan on the steering box fitting on lukes pipe to have a smaller hole so spent a few hours filing out & increasing the hole so the fitting will go on my pipe anyway its on now & i hacve relared it so it should work i tested the fitting before i put it on the pipe & it screws in. I was looking at those crowfeet spanners too on ebay last night haha & will either get that unless it has to be ordered in cos i want to put this pain in the arse of a pipe on todayonce & for all otherwise ill buy an 11/16 stubby spanner or just a normal one & cut it down -

I love your style of bending the pipe i didnt think of that but what i did was stick a small * head stubby screwdriver up the pipe & bend it that way then started getting worried & second guessing myself thinking ive fucked it up more. My gf came around tonight with the fitting & it fitted into the Steering box perfectly but unfortunately did not fit the pipe fitting. & she bought me a screw pitch gauge & digital caliper. The fitting on the pipe is 16.5 according to caliper but needs 18mm to fit into the fitting which she bought & the screw pitch gauge came back with a thread size of 18G. I will be back on the road soon haha -

Yeah Dean i was told that it was a Saginaw pump, the pipe i put on it back in 2012 had no adaptor the fitting just screwed in. Damn i have posted this in the wrong section -

Was driving back from training b4 & the left hand wiper was sort of free spinning (i guess the thingo is threaded) anyway tryied tightening up the nut & then the wipers didnt work at all so went to bp took oit the old fuse which was fine put in a brand new one & still no wipers but the squirters work tho, so i dunno if its an earth problem or what.......its in the FD btw any help would be great thanks -Chris

My original assembly on bottom, one out of zl on top Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

I swapped motors over & put it in the plenum area but kinda mucked it up cos i wasnt sure where abouts the assembly was on its cycle & turned on the wiper switch & it got jammed then had a shit fight getting it out of the plenum then blew a couple of 15a fuse while trying to turn the motor on with it plugged in but resting it on the drivers guard & yeah just had enough so tomorrow i will go to diy autoparts & hopefully there is an xd xe there & take the wiper assembly out of one
-
I think last night when i tried tightening up the nut on the post for the wiper arm i must have bent something cos when i unbolt the bolts to the assembly the thing is working fine but when i bolt up just 1 bolt or more the motor goes err but isnt moving so im guessing its catching on something so ill take it out & compare it to the spare i have, id chuck that in but its off zl & has different plug but i guess i could use that assembly & bolt up my wiper motor to that if need be

Hi-tech exhaust in Sunshine, Duane does a great job & isnt too expensive

I didnt check it when i took it off i just saw fluid dripping out the hardline & was excited, im guessing the flex hose was blocked cos it was bone dry at both ends & i did the job at my brothers cos my trolley jack is fucked too now & i just threw it in the bin
