G'day all
Its been a bit quiet latly. I have been renavating my bathroom and
some $10,000 later I haven't had much cash left for mods to the jumbuck.
But im almost finished the reno job,so I hope to get back to normal soon
after I recover from the cash flow.I think of all the mods I could
have done for that money?? But you know how wives are,O well..
So who has the latest mods in Jumbuck world,give us some pics. How
about Mr GSR Man I would like to here more on your mods and have a
look in person if possable. Come on guys hit us with everything you have.
I still love my Jumbuck.
Regards Neil

hi guy's , i have not experienced the problem with the rears. i get very little dust from the fronts to. i've been running 17" wheels from day one , maybe it might have something to do with it. jeff
Hi Matt Yes my rear brakes do the same,just as you are pulling up at lights or stop sighns,it drives me nuts.I had our service centre have a look at my 10,000 service and they cleaned all the break shoe dust out of the drum and they were fine for about 2month but it has come back and so far I haven't had time to do it again.but I will have too soon,It does drive you crazy its quite loud. regards Neil

Hi there..
Has anyone else had problems with a noise coming from the rear wheels when slowing down to a set of lights or intersection?
mine sounds like squeaky springs or brakes, but cant quite pick it.
It sounds like an 20 year old falcon ute pulling up to the lights.
And also has anyone thought about upgraded rear brakes from drum to disc
like on RPW site

Hi Guys
In recent times some members have had some parts for sale.So I have
made a NEW ALBUM in the PHOTO Folder called (Jumbuck Parts For
Sale)..for members to put pictures of there parts into so we can see
what they are.When posting a pic of your part you can put the price
you are asking in the picture description line when you upload
it.Hopefully this will assist people wanting parts..
When the part sells just delete your own pics,or drop me a line and I
can delete them for you.Thanks Guys.
Regards Neil VK2KYG

Hi there,
I had my head gasket replaced just after the 20,000 km service, they
said that it was only just weeping but it was under warranty, luky,
on the report the claim to have replaced all of the head bolts, not
sure weather they did or not, any way alls for now.

In response to your other query, modern engines use torque to yield head bolts. This means they are torqued to a given value then turned a further 1/4 or 1/2 turn( depending on manufacturer/ design) As such, head bolts cannot be re-torqued. The bolts must be replaced whenever the head is removed. Head gaskets are designed for this method. Having said all that, I don't know whether
Proton use this method.

replaced on his Jumbuck. He has done 38,000 ks and was told by the
service centre machanic that it is a common problem with them around
40,000 ks. Has anyone else had this happen, and can it be

I have only done 15,000ks in 2 years and will well and truly be out of
warrenty at 40k. That could be quite and expence if it is common.
Whats your thoughts guys,anyone else confirm this problem.

I haven't bought a jumbuck....yet...but I am really seriously considering getting one.
I was considering a jumbuck because I like the idea of having a
vehicle that can perform many tasks, is a petrol miser and hopefully can be driven on dirt or gravel tracks.

hi guy's, jeff here i ' ve just had a fiddle with my shifter and found i forgot to put in the little bush that sits on the bottom of the origional shifter arm. oh dopey me ( covered in grease ) if any one has done the same it takes a fair bit of movement out when going for 1st gear hope this helps all. jeff
Hi Pommy Thanks for the report, Im sure it is much better than the cheaper one I bought,but when you add another $30 bucks postage to the east coast,your looking at $300.00 exchange and another $130.00 deposit untill you return your standard shifter.It made the $80.00 one very attractive and I still have the origanal to put back in if I need to. If you get a chance,and have the console out for some other MOD,how about posting some clear pics of the shifter,I would like to see how they keep it tight.I may be able to improve mine. Thanks. Regards Neil Keep the mods comeing..
