Geluk met die kleintjie

Net jammer daai BlouBul sticker halveer die waarde van die bakkie...

If I rember correctly we're on Classic Saver. Costs me 5.6k/mth (5 of us - TV broke at some stage... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ) Savings component is around 12k/year. That helps quite a bit. Fairly comprehensive cover and no limitations as to which hospital/docter you use. Don't forget the part about whic...

Thanks, will do.

Ok, so I'm full of questions today.

What's an acceptable oil consumption for our vehicles?

Mine has 190 000 k's on the clock and I'm at about 1pt/1000 km.

This sound right? It doesn't smoke or anything.

Depends where you currently are... Married? Single? If single I'd consider a medical insurance. Way cheaper and, If I remember correctly - tax deductable. Only covers in-hospital cases. I had a back operation that worked out + R60 k and no problems. If you have a family, I'd consider Discovery. A bi...

Thanks Guys, appreciate the feedback.

Hi Guys,

Just a question: A mate of mine told me a while ago that mags are much stronger and less prone to buckling than the old steel rims.

Is there any truth to this?

I'm considering replacing my old, standard rims with mags but don't want to waste my money.

Welcome Tinus, you'll see there are some good guys on this forum!!

Thanks Guys, appreciate the input.

Sorry to hear. Condolences to family & friends. May God comfort you.

Hi Guys, Forgive me if I repeat a previously discussed topic - I did a search but could't find quite what I was lookinig for. Question: Which suspension would you recommend for a SFA? iRONMAN, OME ....? If possible please state the pro's & cons of each without dissing the products. Don't want to...

Welcome Llewellyn, look forward to some interesting posts from your side!

At the end of the day they have charged you for repairs that didn't solve the problem i.e weren't necessary. You shouldn't have to pay for that! Beeing professionals they should be able to diagnose the problem and any unnecessary costs should be for their account. Consider the CPA if you must. The a...

Ek verbeel my ek het eens op 'n tyd in die Wegry gelees dat 'n mens nie meer as 80 km/uur moet ry in 4H nie. Kan self nie daaroor getuig nie maar as iemand vir Jaco Kirsten ken kan hom dalk vra?

Thanks Guys, appreciate the advice.

Piet, I saw the ad and will contact the guys on monday. That's my second choice - I have a thing for the SFA ' S but that model is definately a strong possibility for me.

Thanks once again.

:eh: Ok so this has been one of the toughest weeks of my life. I have decided that I need to upgrade to a vehicle that can accomodate SWAMBO and my extended family - 3 kids and a (good) SWAMBO IN LAW. Due to the fact taht I'm not especially nuts about the newer vehicles on the market nowadays (plus ...

Ag nee manne! Sien julle dat 'n rottweiler hom steur aan die grask$ker poedel wat heeltyd vir hom blaf? Hoekom voel ons ons moet onsself bewys? Daar is 'n ou engelse gesegte : Young people think old people are fools while old people KNOW that young people are fools! :boss: Dieselfde geld hier. Die m...

Hi Guys, I've been "net"less for a while so I couldn't partake in all the discussions. It looks as if this topic has gone gone a little quite lately.......???? Anyway, I pledged to stop right in the beginning. The first two weeks proved to me that I would be unable to quit cold turkey so I...

Hey Guys, Soos hulle se - agter os kom ook inni kraal! :mrgreen: Typical - and this has happened a few times - I joined the campaign to qiut and by monday morning I'd forgotten that I'd quit :shock: I'm just so used to my routine that it was lunch time before I remembered... :oops: Anyhow, I think I...

Hey Naas, Went down to Mark today to get the lowdown on all the possibilties . Must say I envy you - you know what you want to do. Anyhow, I must say that I was impressed by all I saw and his knowledge on the different conversions. Seeing that I haven't yet decided what to do (and I won't rush my de...

Mark,

SMS your no. I'll be in JHB today & tomorrow. Maybe I can pick mine up & pay you at the same time.

Dewald, Sal jou kom ondersteun by die midmar. Hier inni vrystaat ken ons nie sulke groot waters nie en ons groot swembaddens is soos julle "splashpools" so oefen plek is daar nie! Maar dit sal 'n goeie tyd wees om my Lux se brandstof verbruik te toets as ek teen daardie tyd die ombouing al...

Mark - 1 x SFA PLS!!! (GREY)

Hey Naas,

Your 22R an EFI? IF so, what do you want for the whole setup, engine and all?

:thumbup: Gysie ek's in! Het gisteraand vir Adventures4christ ge pm en 'n soortgelyke voorstel gemaak. But let's take it one step further - a year from now we take the money we saved and use it to go on a lekke weekend - sort of a celebratory weekend. :yahoo: Dan kan ons mekaar lekker leer ken (die ...

Thanks Louis, kyk nog maar.

Which ever way, dit ga 'n ?'? huis vol kos as ek nie goeie tweede handse parte kan kry nie! Maar plan sal ek maak.

Hey Nic,

You need to speak to louis from 4x4 megaworld. He pulled up a site yesterday that sells them new. I think he googled it. Gonna look for it later.

George - you're a sick man!!!!

Where did you say you live.....?

Ok, so I've spoken to Louis from 4x4 megaworld. As can be expected, sourcing all the different parts could be an issue. Especially a complete intake manifold with injectors and all. I see there's a site that sell new intake manifolds for around R7000. The guys also sell 2cnd hand 22R engines for aro...

Thanks Guys

Hi Guys, I'm sure you've read about this topic too many times already but here goes... I've decided to go tha EFI route with my '95 22R lux. Please bear in mind that I'm mechanically challenged :alvarin: Anyhow, I know that most of the spares probably have to be imported. But what I'd like to know i...

Thanks Lollie, much obliged. Will check that as well.

As for the EFI, seems I don't have a choice. As soon as I scraped the money together I will be back on the site looking for parts.

Thanks Mud Dog. Neglected to mention that I pulled the engine to replace the clutch plate so it could be mountings. I also tend to "feel" the vibration more on the gear lever so I'll definately chek that out! A difficult question: How much of a difference does an EFI system make? See I use...

Hi Guys, I hope you can help me with 2 problems: :problem: :problem: Firstly My 95 lux (22R) has picked up a vibration that I cannot sort out. I have balaced the propshaft, replaced all 4 rims, balanced the wheels, replaced the centre bearing. Stil at 80 - 90km/h it vibrates! The vibration isn't fel...

That's what I've been doing for the past three years! Truth be told, I don't trust my backyard mechanics (aka circle of mates) and I'd rather just make sure..

I have been a contented owner of a SFA lux forn 3 years now. Then suddenly I stumble across this great 4x4 site where the guys give good feedback on conversions etc. I mean I've always known about these things but I've never really thought about it.... Suddenly a whole world of possibilities has ope...

Hi Guys,

My 95 lux has a slight tap-tap sound when idling. I have been told that it's most probably a sticky valve or tappit. When I drive I can still hear it but it's really very faint.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

Thanks Guys, got lucky when I bought her, 163 000k's and great condition!
Still standard but that might change with time...

Thanks Guys,

You've confirmed what I believe to be true. Just needed to hear it from you guys.

Die Baasvark

Ok so here's the thing, I've had my 95 Raider for 3 yrs now. Not being a mechanics backside, I decided to do as many repairs etc myself thus teaching myself in the process. A while ago I felt a slight vibration creeping in while driving. As my bakkie has 183 000k's on the clock I decided to balance ...

Hi Guys,

Just to say I'm a newbie. Can't tell you how ecstatic I was when I stumbled across this site

. As soon as I can I'll post pictures and details of my Hilux SFA.

Regards,
Shane
