Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

I decided to get the KL RW for Vic Reg and got the check done today, it's not too bad apart from one thing I'm seeking a second opinion about. All Tyres. All Brake Pads. Front Rotors. RH steering boot. Engine Mounts front and rear. Bonnet Struts Oil Leaks ..... one he says is the...

Just curious as to how much better my car would be , a tj s2 ralliart, with a 6g75 motor in it its pretty good now just something to mull over in the future. Just any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hay guys Has anyone on the forum tuned there cars on e85? Wat are the gains to be made from this fuel.? Cheers

So I have been reading about people in the United States blending there own ethanol fuels at the pump. It seems that a surprising number of vehicles can run higher blends of ethanol than the government mandate allows so I thought I would give it a go. Really I've got nothing to lose, so when...

Hi guys, I posted a little while back about a surging problem that’s been driving me crazy. I’d appreciate any advice you may have. I’ve had a lot of parts replaced recently, so I feel like that should narrow down the possibilities. Car is a 2002 Auto KJ Verada with duel fuel. Description of...

I took my 1999 TH sports in to Beaurepairs for an alignment today. The guy tells me that (apart from more oil leaks than the middle east) after the alignment, the front passenger has a camber of about +1 when it should be -30. I am getting a 380 put in a 2 months or so (already have 380 brakes...

Sorry if this has been covered, i did a search but could not find anything similar. The central locking on my TW AWD started playing up yesterday. If I use the remote or the key to lock the car it locks then immediately unlocks. If I use the inner door locks I can lock each door...

Hi guys, I've had my ralliart magna for only a few weeks and there are a few small niggly things I need to sort out. Firstly was the seeping water pump and slapping timing belt, so I had my mechanic fit a new timing belt kit, tensioner kit (which had no tension in it and was leaking) & water...

Hi guys, My TJ has developed an annoying issue in the last few weeks where it will transmit a a harsh vibration through the accelerator pedal and floor at highway speeds (80kph+) under load. The vibration will persist and worsen depending on how long you keep it under load but disappear upon...

Hi everyone, I am in the midst of changing the stereo in my TJ magna and there is a blue cable on a seperate plug in addition to the main plug and antenna. Is this the security light wire? I am also putting in a camera, im looking at wiring it up to an accessories circuit so that it can be...

Posted something related to this before, where on most cold mornings my TJ will almost refuse to turn over, it takes about 3 or so minutes for it to start up and when it does, the usual cold Engine symptoms happen, Stalls, Backfiring exhaust, etc. Could gumming of the fuel injectors be causing the...

Is 4-5 hours labour to replace timing belt, pullys,cam seals, water pump, spark plug leads and the distributer O ring, a fair quote for labour time. Cheers

Hey guys, quick question about the steering racks, is the arm from the rack removable? I have a bent steering arm and a spare parts Magna and would like to just replace the arm and not the whole rack. Is this doable?

Hi guys, I'm having my fuel pump/filter replaced today by a new mechanic, and I'm wondering what I should expect to be charged for labour? They said that the fuel tank may need to be drained, because I suspect that old petrol has restricted the fuel supply somewhere. What's a rough estimate...

Can the dash lights on a TJ II be upgraded? Mine look a little dim and it's not the dimmer control. The climate control panel is unreadable in the daytime. Sam

Okay...I am still searching for a worthy replacement for my 96 TS station wagon and I chanced upon a nice-looking 2003 Magna wagon in a car yard. It's done about 115K and looks and sounds very neat. It has no tow bar and that's a plus for me as it suggests the guts haven't been pulled out of the...

Hi, I purchased a 3/8in drive torque wrench (6.8 - 108.5 Nm) from Bunnings after I read several posts on here that Kincrome were a good brand. I got it specifically for using with the Nm scale as the workshop manual has everything in Nm. ...

hi guys, im wanting to put cruise control in to my 2002 TJ magna series 1.5 (manual converted), so, im guessing im going to need a few things, if you guys could rattle off the items i need it would be very much appreciated :)

Hi guys, Does anyone have instructions on how to operate the central locking remote for a TJ as I recently just accidentally activated the horn siren, panic function of some sort. It's the control with a large green and red button. Also, is this model fitted with a factory alarm or just...
