just use a non friction modified oil, highly recommended, as the friction modified oil dose not allow the engine to bed in. your right Richard,it is a thing.

what was the original reason for the swap i missed that ?

my engine run in process is to get everything running properly and on the first drive head to an open road and drive at a consistent speed for 15/ 20 mins also let it drop to a low rev and build it back up in a hi gear , this sets the bearings . do not let it labor or rev hard just drive with care for first 300/500km then start to drive it like it will be driven .
PS if the motor is tight from the rebuild do not rev it as it will seize , it can take 5000km for a tight motor to loosen up. you will know its tight it will refuse to go and to push it will seize it , just let it do its own thing until it loosens.
sorry to hear Richard fell off his bike , hope you stop hobbling soon . we don't bounce like we use to .
my cure for gout is rap in cotton , soak with cider vinegar and a couple of drops of lavender oil (100%). the cider vinegar takes out the swelling and the lavender takes out the sting, works for me.

don't worry Loelito to purchase anything is a last resort for every thing in my house ,not just the car . people are to quick to dispose of things in today's world.

when mine was attacked by the lawn mower i replaced the whole door as the door was damaged as well. when i painted the other door it didn't look to hard to do , the top and bottom strips just pull off and the clips slide sideways and the glass is held in with a bonding agent . they is a tool for the removal of the bonding agent but if you can get a piece of piano wire or similar behind the glass you should be able to cut it out.

FYI if you want to have springs made, most lock smiths can make them for you from the original .

China is becoming a real problem for the world and they must be approached with caution, don't forget where the china virus came from ? and the reason it was let out, i think it was a test to see how the world would respond . not an accident.

i have 2 ways to refresh leather , linseed oil , i literally drown the seats in it so there is puddles of it and leave for several days to soak in (i do this with the leather seats that are in my buggy this is an open vehicle and it literally cops everything) then wipe off excess if it hasn't soaked in and buff up with dry rag
Vaseline, used this on my bike jacket for last 35 yrs , once again just rub on and leave to soak in ,sit it in the sun so it warms up , excellent way to water proof leather

thanks for that , i was looking at the right one will have to look a bit harder , i will change the globe and see if that dose anything
as for the wiring issue there is cut marks on the cover so the PO must have used it for something . i might do the same .what would the power capacity be from that plug.

ok i have played with the solenoids and all is working so i put it all back together and it's working again only i really didn't fix anything but i did clean and re grease the spring in the switch, thats the only thing i did other than check things .
i did find that the wiring on the opposite side of the car has been hacked, around the left tail light cover . it appears to have had those crappy press on wire joiners fitted and removed and taped over . this plug has 4 wires on it but doesn't appear to actually do anything , there is even a plug on the side of the body to plug it into but goes no ware, has no wires attached to it , is this some accessory i don't have as mine is a base model. is there a reason someone would want access to it .
i also noticed that i have RH side light failure on the dash but all lights seam to be working , which light is it exactly, i maybe looking at the wrong one
not happy not finding something as it says it's going to happen again 😂

you got a good woman they mate , don't let her get away

hi Pierre3 you are required to do nothing other than take some notice of the comments and make your own decisions, thats the media comments that is . you will see what is going on with the way it's put to you . as thunderburg would say "you have 1 year to make the change before it's to late " push the fear factor , create confusion buy not stating what the change will be and then give direction buy doing what she says . sorry it's not a joke , it's what is really happening and most are not seeing it . it is also how the media works ,especially when it comes to the government or the side they pick in an election .
PS i don't know what will happen if all the cars run on h2 , it's a question that i asked and isnt it all about the weather? if their is a risk that the weather pattern might change then it;s a no go as that is what all this is based on ,weather patterns . how humid would it be in heavy traffic in the city with no wind , an increase in humidity could produce fungus and molds too., we just dont know the effects and they are not going to tell you . as you stated the steam trains didn't cause a problem but they moved all the time not sat stagnant in traffic so the spread was greater also they didnt come in their millions world wide. just looking at the big picture

i dont know how much your gov pay to the company's that own the turbines but in Aust the gov pay $500 000 per unit per year for the life of the turbine and they dont have to produce power for the payment , they just have to be their, no wonder they are building them . yes we did develop the solar panel and then gave it away , apparently it's the Australian way to help 3rd world countries 😂 i do be leave we have the ability to fix the issues we are just going about it wrong . i dont think covering the ground in solar panels is a good idea but putting them on roofs is a good idea , i dont think turning every car into an ev is it either but to replace 50% or more of them in cities through natural attrition is a good idea just for the pollution problem alone as for power production it should be from all types of systems from coal to gas to nuclear or fusion etc. as for cutting down the Amazon, if the governments are so concerned they should stop buying the products or simply start planting more trees of their own and stop bitchen about another country doing what they done to support they own country , we are suppose to be the educated society that dosn't use it's own ideas time to think out of the box and whilst not all ideas are practical they are a start . if it didn't work just state it and move on dont run with bad ideas and try and make it work like they do now . you don't get it right every time but you do learn from your mistakes

have dismantled the bottom tail gate and removed the button, the button is fine no rust or crap , looks like new even the spring is shiny . will try putting power to the solenoids later when it stops raining.

how to get the human population to do what they don't want to
you must first insight fear
then create confusion
then give direction
this is how religion has managed to last this long , they use this concept to run the church's and now the envirocyclers are using it to push us in the direction they want and because the people are to lazy to find out the truth them selves they will follow like sheep . no one has the time to fact check everything and the media are so left wing they will not tell you the truth either
as for hydrogen what happens when all the vehicles are spurting out steam on a cold day and the clouds start forming , will that be a problem releasing all that moisture into the air, will it form its own weather pattern . it's not a problem with 3 or4 vehicles but what happens when it's 3or 4 million ? dose it have the potential to change the weather on it's own?

i have fixed the button some time ago and its free and appears to be working correctly , not sticking and it has worked until now , its never been intermittent has always worked it just stopped . iv even tried sneaking up on it 😊 . i will have a wrestle with the rear cover and see what happens , i do have a spare in the event of a failure .

as it says push the button and nothing happens , worked one minute then nothing . i have dismantled the right side and found the plug with all the white wires in it and i think it is the pink wire that i need to put power to to power the solenoid , is that right .is there another way to open the tail gate or is the big hammer time:😂 . if the solenoid is dead is there a way to somehow operate the top door lock without damaging anything .

just to add to the unleaded fuel comments , this my observation over the years .
in 1983ish the Aust gov introduced unleaded fuel to Aust , in 85 it was mandatory . at the time a friend handed me 3 or 4 pieces of paper to read in relation to unleaded fuel , the headline was why are or service station operators dying of cancer. it was a euro study so you may have also read it .it stated that the attendants cancer rate went from 10% to 90% in ten years . they found that the fumes from the pumps was causing cancers along with contact with the fuel and the exhaust fumes. it then stated that all pumps were to have vacuum extractors on all pumps and to stand up wind of the fumes and to not make contact with the fuel ever, wash it off immediately as it can be absorbed through the skin , it went on about the things you would expect . after reading this i just never used fuel for wash down any more .
over the years things changed as the gov pushed that cigarettes was the evil of the world causing all the cancers in the world so the big push for people to stop smoking , its bad for you, so they say . this is the interesting bit , in 85 the gov made it mandatory for unleaded fuel while pushing the smoking debate ,, so about 50% of smokers quit over the next ten years , this will fix the cancer rates . no it didn't cancer rate sored while smokers quit in droves , so smoking is not the problem . it take around 10 yrs for problems to show up when changes are made (unleaded fuels) cancer rates are still going thru the roof so to speak and the 15% of smokers that are left are still to blame , they now call it passive smoking from the people that used to smoke , it has to be that ,doesn't it . no its unleaded fuels , we have self serve here so no attendants to get sick just the population it self to do it them selves which is the part of the problem followed by people who park their car in the house (an attached garage to the house). when i ask people if they can smell the fumes in the house the answer is yes followed with so your happy living in the shed they look at you strange. i then explain this to them and that the fumes are super toxic when they start their car and it settles on the kids sport gear bikes etc and they don't know what to say , that sticky residue is a highly cancerous unleaded fuel . the cancer rates in Aust are still rising and people that smoke has settled around the 15% mark . i am no saying that smoking is good for you as i smoked for 30 yrs , not now tho, this my opinion on unleaded fuels that i have observed over the yrs here in Aust there is a lot more to this but im not going that far into it , just use commonsense when handlinfg the fuels and don't breath the fumes
PS a smart man could push that cigarettes are a health product that prevents cancers if you look at the stats 🤣

be careful changing pistons and rods as it will interfere with the throw of the crank and the piston, important part of engine operation .when they stroke engines they lengthen the stroke by offsetting the crank journals and the gudgen pin in the pistons and use different length rods if the 4.0l piston is higher and your fitting a hi lift cam make shore you have the valve clearance

welcome Craig i have the same no options on my 97 either, its not a bad thing no sun roof to deal with no cold leather seats to fix, i like my cloth seats .always warm to sit in.
