Pretty sure Steve Mcqueen installed a smartlock by pass? But think an auto sparky did that for him!

Hey guys!

Got an issue with the door locks on the pano!

When ever I unlock the doors, when I open it, the locks try and lock again flat out until my backside is in the car and I've shut the door behind me!

Anyone had similar issues they can shed some light on why its happening?

Mines a 90 litre (72 usable.) I usually fill it when its just flicked over to the read light and its between $55 and $60. If I run the tank dry, depending on what type of driving I do I can get from 450 to 550 kms out of a tank. Although then its closer to the $65 to $70 mark to fill up again.

It all depends on tuning on duel fuel I guess, Wagon was about the same as the pano.

thanks chris. But in vic Gas is 55c a litre (was today anyway) and petrol is $1.54. Makes for a cheap daily.

 

If i was in tassie i wouldnt have gas. Its crazy spensive down there. Infact the only gas car i saw was that weird FD with massive rear tyres.

That's incorrect, I run the Pano on LPG

And when you use it all the time (like I do) its cheaper in the long run! $50 per 300kms on gas, $80 per 300kms on petrol

So I've read this before and thought I'd already commented, obviously I hadn't!

My dad had one, we sold it last year to a young girl for her first car!

His was the reverse colour of yours!

Will always have a soft spot for this! One of my good mates ZGMitch302 still has his first one! Bright orange 250, 4 speed wagon!

Anyways, just thought I'd show some affection!

That's a tight fit!

Fucking hot though!

Get another one from a wreakers?

Oh dear!

I like the red, but only really ever seen it on tyres with a low profile!

Ahahaha..... an electric water pump and thermos on a cortina that has <150 rwkw......

Got anything positive to say about other people's opinions and ideas?

Sure was!

Just advised him it wouldn't hurt to have another one

Yes, it's worth it!

I think we could devise a way to get it through without pulling the dash out dude

Other then the vacuum line not being connected properly, only other thing I can think of is the vacuum line is split?

This is a puzzling one dude! Coming into winter you'll need those heaters!!

Looks like Daves, Robbie would be able to clarify!

Just had a read! This is epic, congrats on the mark too

Who's is the blue XE?

^^When doing this, wouldn't it be a good idea to remove your coil lead?

True that. Be interested to see if any engineers could perhaps give an explanation as well!

Displacement of weight is a huge factor though Dean?

Same as when driving and pulling up, the front brakes do most of the work?

Bingo!

If it makes sense and nothing else can explain it why not?

Think about it, how long could you hold 10 kgs at your side, as opposed to holding the same 10 kgs above your head!

Windsor block fits easier then a clevo from what I've heard!

I can explain it!

Its all to do with the amount of weight behind the wheels that pulling up the load to stop.

When the ute is facing up hill, majority of the weight is forcing back, making it so more weight is pushing it back down hill.

When the ute is facing down hill, majority of the weight is being suspended, less effort (or force) is required to hold the load.

Hows that!
