Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Hi all, Just wondering whether anyone can recommend a decent mechanic in the Sydney area to replace the timing belt on a 3.5l TJ at the 200k mark? I was quoted $850 by my local mechanic (incl. tensioner, new water pump) and that seems a bit steep. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Well, I knew this day would eventually come (ironically I was just talking about it this morning). Early this afternoon whilst driving into the driveway at work I heard a nasty sounding clunk from the front of the car. I parked the car thinking "I hope that isn't my diff...". A couple of...

Hey peoples, I got cornered again by our local Neways rep - he saw me under the bonnet twidling with my engine and started talking about Roil Gold. Left me (after an hours ear bashing) with some brochures claiming it as being better than sliced bread! His chemistry explanation wasn't good, but...

Ok, I've got the fog lights plus the factory indicator, light, fog light combo stalk. How hard a job is it to install these - what else do I need? Is it the same as for no stalk, but just using the stalk as the switch? Or is the wiring already in the loom? 2 different service centres have given...

Hi guys, Just trying to track down the source of some water leakage, mostly in the passenger foot well. From my digging around I think water from the windscreen should be flowing down channels to each side of the car near the door hinges just behind the plastic covers in the wheel arches. From...

Can someone supply the gear ratios for the 4 speed auto and 5 speed auto, including final drive? Also the manual 3.0 and 3.5 ratios. And, does the 5 speed shift smoother than the 4 speed or are they more or less the same gearbox bar the extra gear? Thanks

My TL's windscreen leaks sometimes in the top corners. I called windscreens obrien and they said: They would like you to take it to the centre, in Brooklyn, to have it done. They will completely remove the windscreen, clean out the whole area and apply rust proofing to the window frame. then...
