Hi 

im doing some work on my x flow 250 and ive got the sump off and im looking to find how the oil makes it to the chain. Can anyone give me any location of the oil galleries that prime the chain? 
regards

yeah i'd have considered reinforcing if the dash part was solid but it might break next. i'd probably support it to the floor better. 

 

does look good though. 

thanks .. there is a floor bracket and it mounts behind the ashtray .. ive also put a reinforcement on that because the whole thing was broken through the centre.  It feels very strong now .. ive tested installing it and its fine ... Im just in the process of reinstalling the dash, after completely refirbing the heater and vacuum controls .. will post a pic(s) when im done

Excellent.!  That has come up MINT.!   JB weld and Araldite are similar products, both use a 2 part epoxy. Should be stronger than the original plastic. You could even epoxy a small piece of metal/alloy on the back of the plastic for added strength. 

theres actually 2 thicknesses of plastic because I wanted it to mount at the same 'level' so i made bits to fill the broken off areas then put now pieces shaped like original in front ... 

Sorry its taken a while to respond, work etc gto in the way of things .. I bought the JB Weld.  See the pics of the fix the JB weld smells same as Aryldite .. but im guessing its just a very good quality version of it .. if you are patient and leave the item alone for a few days after clamping its stuck like it was never broken here are some pics  ..

From what I can tell from pics, the sedan is shorter and includes the recess for the bumper. The ute and van panels are longer but stop at the dropped edge to the bumper, not including the corner.

Ute

Sedan

Wagon

thanks .. this is very helpful.. i saw the pics on rare spares and also resto country but i couldnt work out how it fits .. i understand now because of the cut where the vertical fold is ... from the pic of the red ute ...

I'd say different as sites listing repair panels have sedan, wagon & ute under different listings

thanks .. ive been checking and i think you are right there is a listing for ute and they are different ... i can see another response below too .. 

Hi all. I just want to check something.  Is the outer lower rear quarter panel on an xd-xg ute the same as the sedan or wagon? Any help greatly appreciated 

phil

thanks to both of you for your advice .. they both look like good options .. ive bought the JB Weld 2 part urethane adhesive...see if that works... ive got a spare glovebox that im going to take cuts out of to make up reinforcing for the broken areas 

Ok thanks ill take a look at it.  

Gday 

Just looking for some advice.  Ive got an xd ute with a pretty tidy interior but i want to repair a crack in the centre console and the mounting points that are snapped off.  I also want to repair the usual breaks in the side speaker grilles in the dash. So im looking for what glue will best fix this type of plastic? I will also do a bit of plastic  welding to strengthen it 

Any advice is appreciated.   Phil
