Forum: AWD Magna / Verada

How are you guys finding oil consumption on average. Any of you's owned a FWD third gen magna before and can giv input

So.. I'm more than alittle frustrated right now with my 2001 Verada XI Long story short, Basically.. I was driving along when suddenly my radio started to crackle and smoke appeared around it... after which the Dash cluster went dark.. no LED's (the speedo and tacho still work) .. the middle...

G'day all again, I've finally sorted out my Verada's dash cluster, I replaced the radio fuse and it suddenly lit up like a Christmas tree :P Still... there's a couple of problems still plaguing me though. 1) The central locking system has died 2) The boot no longer opens 3) The fuel flap...

I've recently acquired a 2003 TJ Magna AWD and my Dad's mechanic has been giving it the once over and fixing any issues that need to be done. It's been sitting around a lot for the past few months and hasn't had a battery in it apparently. It's now got one in it, but there's an error code (I...

hey im just wondering on my 03 tj awd what would be needed to return the brakes back to single piston? apart from the caliper and rotor is there nothing else required to put a tf magnas brakes on to the tj awd?

hi all, i have been offered a set of extractors (pacemakers) and was just wondering if their was a set for the FWD and a set for the AWD or are they all the same?......they are cumin off a FWD if that helps, i am brain dead when it cums to this sort of stuff, tryed searchin but could not...

After reading so many posts on lowering an AWD im still not really sure on what the outcome is on eyebrow height after installing Kings lows in an AWD so does it drop 10 to 12 mm more than a FWD or not, if i use Kings lows will it drop 30 or 40/42 mm, id hate to order the wrong spings and either...

Just got back from a 1 week trip from Penrith to Brisbane via Putty Rd and New England Highway and noticed a clunking noise under brakes and right hand turns when I got to Brisbane, it wasn't real bad and the car still drove extremely well through corners etc. When I got back home the clunking...

Hi guys. I just changed the o ring on the distributor and pulled apart the rear tappet cover to resolve a leaking gasket. I started it up and it is missing pretty badly, down 1 cylinder at least. Want to make sure there is no way of putting the dissy in the wrong way, it seemed to slip in ok when I...

Hi, I picked up a TL AWD over a week ago, I have done the usual tappet covers, plug seals, plugs, coolant brakes etc but I still have a major leak going down the centre between the motor and gearbox, It looks like it is tracking from around the distributor though there is too much oil for that...

Recently bought an AWD owned by an elderly couple who sold the car because they were handing in their licenses. I had to travel around 800k's home so I checked the tyres and they looked fine, heaps of tread and the sidewalls had no damage. I took it down to the tyre outlet for a balance and...

I am looking at replacing my rear coils soon as the car sits with a full tank at 355mm from centre of wheel to wheel arch. The question I have is are the springs lowered to start with and what height should they be? I am looking at Dobinsons springs though their catalogue do not mention AWD, so...

Looking to buy these springs for my AWD with standard 16" rims. I am located in Penrith NSW, anyone know where to get hold of them and the pricing? Interested in oponions of shocks as well. Thanks .

Cahnged interior light globe. It sparked. Now no interior lights work and door locks dont work. Also now getting 4D on dash and car idling poorly.

Does anyone know what clutch pack is, I need one replaced.

Hey all, I'm going to start planning a Magna build for when I buy my next car, leaving my TL AWD open for mucking around with. I love the handling of the Magna, I feel the AWD drivetrain is great however I would love some more power. I dream of having it race-prepped for both hillclimbs and...

When I purchased my car it didn't have the splash guard under the front bumper. I've always meant to buy one, but do they actually do much? Is it just a matter of keeping a bit of dirt away. Your thoughts? Thank you.

Okay so since putting on 225/50 r17's i hear a slight clanking noise over certain bumps. I must stress this isn't all the time, just every couple of bumps in the road i will get a noise. I think it could be the front right tyre scrapping on the strut as the dirt/dust seems to have been wiped off...

I'm selling these TL AWD wheels, they are the 16" standard ones and on the inside it says "16x6j 46". Does that mean they are 46+ offset?
