Should really be done every 10,000kms, or 6 months of subjects to high speed (according to the service manual). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilMeUp Member 1,045 Member For: 16y 7m 4d Gender: Male Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 22/10/14 09:31 PM Share Posted 22/10/14 09:31 PM (edited) Recap: bought a crash damaged 2005 BA Mkii XR6 Turbo ute a few months ago. Did a heap of work on it, got it licenced a month ago, washed it, parked it in the back of the carport… and lost the key.A month later, and lots of tearing the house apart looking for the key… got key blanks from a locksmith in Queensland, got them cut in Perth last week and then got them coded to the car yesterday (auto electrician). Paid $82.35 for three keys (2 x flip and 1 x normal key), cutting was free (know the guy) and coding cost $99 for a total of $181.35. Not too bad - I previously only had the one key so was going to have to pay for at least one more key blank and coding anyway.The rear end has been noisy. Done all sorts of mucking around with axle bearings and other things before finally resigning myself to the fact that the diff is stuffed. Managed to find a complete replacement diff recently, and fitted it tonight. Back end is nice and quiet now. Also replaced a squeaky blower fan.Found a set of ROH Flare wheels a couple of weeks ago so bought them. I’ve got the same wheels on my taxi, so this means that I can rotate wheels between cars if required (eg two flat tyres on a weekend). The Flares clear Brembo calipers - I’ve got a spare 4/4 Brembo setup here but can’t decided whether to put it on the ute or sell it. The ute currently has brakes from a BA GT (ie 325mm x 32mm front).It rained in Perth tonight, and a test drive confirmed that the unheard-of brand tyres on there right now are lethal on wet roads. I’ve been using Neuton NT5000 tyres on my taxi for the last few years with great success but they are no longer imported. Maxis Pro R1 tyres rated very well in wet conditions in a recent magazine test so will check pricing on a set of those. I put a set of Achilles 2233 tyres on the taxi last week but they are also quite slippery in the wet.Bought the diff with a whole bunch of stuff from an FPV Super Pursuit ute (including the Brembo brakes). Got Bilstein shock absorbers in the lot, but haven’t yet decided whether to put them on the ute or the taxi. The leather console lid and handbrake cover went into the ute tonight. The fake carbon fibre dashboard spears and FPV door trims will go in later.4am… time to knock off for the night. Just a leeeeeeeeeeeeedle bit tired. Ute is now running much, much better. No diff noise and no squeaking blower fan noise. Absolutely rapt to get those two extremely irritating noises gone.

Likewise if one of the window regulators dies on a busy night - takes minutes to get a door off, so will grab a ute door until I have time to fit a new regulator (did that back at Easter with girlfriend's taxi - borrowed a door off another car and fixed her door after the weekend).I bought a Ryobi heat gun this week to get some sticker residue off one of my Aprilia SXV550 motard bikes. Reckon I'll have a go at getting those fake FPV badges off sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
