Hi I'm about to undertake a manual conversion on my tj 3.5l series 2 auto. Auto is stuffed. It's got cruise and srs. I have a te 3.0l manual car to tear everything out of. I'm going to reuse the auto ecu without a piggyback and bypass the neutral/park immob. And wire the brake light switch...

I've just got back from a 2000km road trip around the south west corner of WA, and while the experience is still fresh in my mind I thought I'd comment on the new Hyundai Tucson that I hired for the trip. Unfortunately for long drives I found it almost unbearable. I take no joy in saying this...

Hello Gentlemen. This might look like spam but it isn't. I'm just sharing my recent positive experience (so far) using an Auto Transmission treatment called Rislone. Some background. I have a 99 TF wagon with about 320,000 ks on the clock. I usually do all the work on it myself. I've replaced...

I have a rattle. I happened to notice it when I had the hood up and gave the throttle a couple of bursts. At idle I can't hear it, but I can hear it reasonably clearly when the engine is sitting at 2000 plus revs. However its most noticeable, briefly, when the engine quickly decelerates after being...

Hi I've got an annoying rattle/squeak coming from the vicinity of the tailgate that I cant find. I've removed the tailgate liner and everything from the spare wheel compartment. I've checked around the back seat. I've crawled around under the car and oiled and tightened everything. I've sprayed...

My son in law has been quoted about $750 to replace the front welsh plugs and the starter motor on his TF 3 litre Magna. (Apparently coolant has leaked onto the starter and fried it.) . He says the workshop has said the tranny needs to come out to get at the welsh plugs. I've had a look at my own...

Hello Gentlemen. My Magna TF speedo has been dodgy for a while. Sometimes it doesnt work at all. At other times it displays about 50 kmh over my actual speed. (The odometer and speed alert both work fine). I've removed it a couple of times and poked around but havent been able to fix it....

As described in another thread I've removed the heads from my son-in-laws TE 3.0 Magna Auto. So now, under the hood, basically all I am left with is an engine block bolted to the auto transmission. It seems like now would be a good time to lift out the engine and replace the welch plug behind the...

Hello Gentlemen A stone punched a tiny pinhole through the headight lens of my TF. I plugged it with a drop of silicone and its been fine for months but I notice that its just slightly 'off color'. Some dust must have got in before I discovered the hole. My question is, can the headlight be...

This may be of interest to some members. My son has a 3 litre TE Magna with a weeping welsh plug between the engine and transmission. The leak causes the starter motor to fail. Its a major job to fix the cause so a quick fix was to whack in a new starter (about $85) while considering the future of...

My TF wagon with 350,000 ks on the clock has been a great car but lately the sound and feel of road bumps is starting to bug me. Dunno if I'm just getting old, but I feel like every little bump is being transferred to my backbone. I havent crawled under the car for a good look but I assume there...

As mentioned in a previous thread I've been thinking about a new wagon to share shed space with the Magna. So today I test drove a brand new Hyundai i40 diesel wagon... https://www.hyundai.com.au/vehicles/i40-tourer I was hoping for a real thrill, something that would be a significant upgrade...

I've ordered a couple of new rear shocks for my TF wagon. While I'm at it I thought I would replace the coil spring isolators (sometimes called insulators or seats). Mine look hard and squashed. Has anyone done this on a wagon and found if it made much difference? Where did you get the isolators...

Hi. I'm working on my son-in-law's TE V6 3 litre. He has either a blown head gasket or cracked head. I'm wondering if I really have to remove the crankshaft pulley and lower timing belt cover to remove the heads? The Max Ellery workshop manual says I do, but sometimes the books take the 'long way...

Hi As posted in another thread I'm working on my son-in-laws Magna. Assuming I'll need new head gaskets does anyone have a source for good priced gaskets either as stand alone items or as part of a larger kit. This is a 24valve, 3.0 TE Magna. Engine is a 6G72 I believe. Does anyone know if...
