  1. the thermo fan on my ute was stuffed and it was awful fan noise at anything over 1500rpm

    it wasn't until i drove low km XG that i saw a clutch fan that worked how it should (it kicks in like a thermo fan and slows down enough that ya can't hear it when the engine cools)


  2. Those controllers seem the most common solution. I just don't like the probe in the hose, eveybody reckons they leak no matter what. Bit untidy too.

     

    The EF and EL fans were wired differently, can't remember how. It relates to them being able to work at different speeds. I'd just ignore the extra stuff and go full speed, they will go for a bit then turn off.

     

    Normally one is triggered by the AC too, but I'm guessing the ute doesn't have that. Just run a wire off the compressor switch wire to the relay trigger for one fan.

    get one of these then the probe won't leak

  3. Do you mean spark or park? If spark you ignition module or cap and motor might be dodgy, pull the cap and rotor ( pain in the ass on a xg) and try to wipe it out and spray some crc ot wd40 in there to try and drive the moisture out

    looks like my finger missed the s key

    yep i meant spark i tyred the wd40 and found the trigger wheel had a bit of surface rust on it

    do XGs have TFI similar to the XF EFI


  4. well maybe dellow or mall wood

    and have a look around at swap meets and ebay because i think its something the speedway crowd would do

    re drilling the bell and bolting the bell to the box could work but you will need some sort of ring around the input shaft bearing retainer because the singel rail is smaller


  5. no point making 2 threads

    first the XG it has no spark something to do with moisture because it only happens in damp cool whether

    I would probably find the problem easy if the manifold wasn't so awful so any help would be good.

     

    The XF has parasitic drain that makes the hand brake light glow dimly when engine is off what should i check

     

    thanx


  6. Watch out for chuck norris i got him to remove mine and he pushed crank right through the radiator haha, nahh well ive made a small slide hammer for them and the work well, or cold chisel it from the lip in two seperit spots bit by bit and they come out easy as.

     

    chuck noris if an old fucker he probably can't even lift his dick
