    Not mine, someone might be interested. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/179560981681722/?mibextid=dXMIcH
  2. 1000cc, nowhere near maxed out. Unless your planning on e85, yours are probably too big. Someone with tuning experience will know for sure....
  3. What's it like on the highway ? Mine has similar power, runs fine at idle etc. Gets 8.5 to 9l/100km at 115 on the highway.

    I was going to go, but it's 1830km drive each way, via my mates place at Kalbarri... Ive experienced one years ago in tassie, and there's a longer one in SA in a few years....

    Probably heading to Exmouth for the eclipse.....

    Got the old hk out of the shed for a Sunday cruise. Hk premier, 27500miles from new, I'm second owner.

    When 1l just doesn't cut it....

    I've been buying chicken roll ups from local IGA and doing them in hot air oven with roast veg. Excellent single bloke cuisine.... [emoji16]
  9. Zf specify a normal operating range of 80 to 130 degrees c. Higher than 130 will probably generate a code etc. Im looking at fitting an aftermarket one without fan, as it's not needed for normal road use, even in Kalgoorlie Summers. I'm more concerned with milkshaking the tranny than overheating it The stock cooler is fine, I have an fg Ute with over a million km on the original zf. This Ute has spent its life travelling to remote sites to pick up drill samples and was typically loaded between 750kg and 900kg, sometimes more I suspect. It still drives like new. Fluid changed every 60k with lsa multitrans.
  10. My movie/music collection is on a qnap nas/external raid, which have well known security issues. I've never had a problem though. Apart from the security, probably most useful thing for home use is adguard. Gets rid of all the home screen crap on smart TV's, just leaving the menu. Also good for Tapatalk.... The sophos units are overkill though, all you need is a basic box with 2 network ports. If you're going to run suricata/adguard/multiple vpns etc and/or have gigabit nbn you'll be needing something better. I'd run sophos, but it's incredibly expensive. Fortinet is also good, but even more expensive. Don't buy a s/h fortinet box as they're locked down and not easily opened up, the hardware is excellent though. I bought the sophos xg as I want to run sfp vdsl modems which don't play well with the on board sfp ports on the sg series. They work, but sync is 20% less than it should be. They are ok in sfp+ ports on expansion modules, but they are hard to get and expensive. The xg has on board sfp and sfp+ ports, so hopefully will be all good.
  11. Gotta protect my porn collection.....
  12. Got a sophos xg330 to run opnsense at work. Middle sg330 runs opnsense/adguard/suricata at home. Bottom one runs Windows 10 as a backup pc/ media server.
  13. About 10% difference, fixed now I changed rears to same size as fronts.

    You could try unplugging sensors in engine bay and see if it will start. Abs/temp/power steering etc. One of them bay be shorted and upsetting 5v rail
  16. hoe replied to FordXR6TPerth's topic in XR6 Turbo
    Boost sensor and vct solenoid error. I would suspect a faulty sensor on the bus(not necessarily one of these 2)or a wiring issue. I would plug in a good diagnostic computer and check live data and see if anything is out of spec.
  17. No, it's definitely tyre size difference
  18. Just put some factory 19" mags on the g6e. Fronts were rubbing so I put smaller tyres on the front. Now I'm getting abs errors as soon as I touch the brakes. Anyone know limits on size differences or can it be sorted with forscan etc?
  19. Check the inertia switch behind kick panel on passenger side , which can be reset. It's a big red button
  20. hoe replied to Mox32r's topic in XR6 Turbo
    Radiator blocked. Check if fins are full of crap. Probably cheaper to buy a new one if it's blocked internally.

    Going to be a warm week here....

    Try changing the fan speed resistors

    The worst section of the trip yesterday was the great Eastern highway between southern Cross and Coolgardie. Besides the permanent roadworks at gh00lie, I hit 2 huge waves in the bitumen, both almost pulled the wheel out of my hands. Brierty contractings cheap work again, I don't know how they passed inspection.... The roads from kalbarri to Wubin were pretty good, Wubin to southern Cross, good but a couple of single lane bitumen sections.
  24. hoe replied to hoe's topic in Off-Topic
    Lol, Kal to Perth = Kalgoorlie to Perth. Perth to Kal = Perth to Kalbarri. I drove Kal to Kal today, just over 1000km via wubin/bullfinch. No problem, lots of roadworks though.
  25. hoe replied to hoe's topic in Off-Topic
    Kalgoorlie to Perth is the sh*ttest highway in WA. Perth to Kalbarri was no problem, much smoother. Well the only problem was the caravannets sitting on 80...
