A mate and I competed in a Push-Pull Comp at a local powerlifting gym in April and managed 2nd and 3rd out of 18 lifters. This is my 2nd deadlift at 235kg, I PB'd on my 3rd lift with 245kg. I managed 130kg full pause bench press.

Got my second hand fuse panel and new bonnet cable and now installed. Phuk me dead, don't want to be doing that again any time soon. Big hands make it harder!

I never drive it anymore and we've got a 3rd ratbag on the way so getting rid of the fuel bill that comes with it. Still got my patrol to mod and take the tools too when I get the urge

Thanks MiKa, I got mine to a mechanic and it looks like 4 of the coil packs were farked and the spark plugs needed replacing too. Getting a roadworthy while it's there. Time to move her on.

What if I take spark leads off one at a time and start it to see if it makes it worse or no difference would it help me locate if it's a coil?

No mate. There's no engine light or anything on

How would I do that mate?

Mine's pretty much undrivable at the moment.

My fuse bits busted too. The whole show is cactus

RACQ have been and he says could have dropped a coilpack? It does smell very fuelly while running, so could be right.

Hey guys, Took off from an intersection today trying to get out into traffic and while under almost WOT I hit a wet patch of road and the traction control kicked in (pretty violently) and the car immediately began to misfire. Limped it home (only half a km) and sounds like pile of shyt. Starts fine but runs like crap. Got RACQ on the way around to see what they can see. It still has the original valve springs in it and has 124,000k, could one of these be busted??

Yeah mine just gets more and more fcked every time I try and open it.

Any help guys?

Got a picture of the bit you're adjusting at the latch end mate?

Hey guys, this has happened to me as well. I've broken the tabs on the bottom of the fuse box where the handle clips on to as the bonnet was quite hard to open. I've read the last 4 pages and it seems like I can remount the handle with a few zip ties but I'm just wondering if I'm pulling the lever all the way and still having to pull on the cable with pliers even with handle fully extended does this mean the cable is stretched and needs replacing? Or is there an adjustment I can do on the latch to make it easier to open the bonnet?

Hey lads, haven't posted on here for a while. Haven't been able to do much leg stuff due to a still undiagnosed knee issue but have got my bench up to a 145kg 1rm and only a couple of weeks off a 100kg strict military press I reckon. Also building a stronger back using meadow rows (really work well) and dumbbell rows. Been doing a lot of weighted decline push-ups as bench accessory as well. Been easing back into deads, did 5x5 at 120kg today, trying not to aggravate the knee.

Did a deadlift workout today after not doing any legs for at least 5-6 weeks die to my stinking knee. Managed to work up to 3x170, 2x190, 1x210 and a single at 220. That's after spending 4 hours in a car heading home from my olds, drinking very little water, and eating very little food. Pretty happy with it out of the box. I don't want to sacrifice form as that will ultimately damage my knee further.

Thanks guys, mystery solved.

RACQ just came and tested battery, jump started it and all was good. Couldn't believe it could've flattened in the half hour between starting it to check oil level and trying to start it to put in the shed but apparently it's not that uncommon.

Thought about the battery but it had only started half an hour before.

Guys I just finished servicing the XR. It's an 03 manual turbo. Started after I replaced the oil, oil filter and fuel filter, ran it off the ramps. Went to start it up to put it back in the shed and she won't start. Only thing I did after it started lasted was clean the K&N and fill the washer bottle. I've checked again to make sure the fuel filter is in the right way. Still no go. Here's a video of what it's doing. Help!

Made it through the last workout of my Smolov Bench Program without any failures or pauses. 10 sets of 3 @ 125kg today. Will shoot for a PB on Tuesday I reckon

400mg of caffeine and 1.5l of xtend and I've survived 10x3 @ 120. Pretty happy given that I couldn't even do three reps of 120 on the bench at Christmas last year.
