THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

I've been following these auctions too, if you look carefully at the exhausts you can see that in many photos the pinzgauers are running... Often it is very faint and sometimes there is white steam. However there is still no guarantee of gearbox or drive line problems but it is a good indication if ...

I also use transit wheels for a secondary set of wheels and tyres, (to save my simex for intended use). They are 6.5 and the offset is identical to the pinz wheels as is the thickness of the rim. While sourcing them I found most wreckers told me they only came in 5.5, then I found one who knew a bit...

United Filters in Bayswater Melbourne would be worth a try.

Haf-e.... I'm using water to heat my vaporizer, I'm heating it from my exhaust header. I fabricated a small stainless expansion tank and brazed a copper radiator cap neck to it. I'm using a very small electric booster pump (Davies Craig pt# 9001) to circulate the water. It has a brushless motor and ...

Hi Eric, you have probably already seen that FMV4x4.com have all the LHD joints on their site, 98 euro for the double joint ($144 aud) and 75 euro for the single ($96 aud), I know it doesn't help much except as a comparison as to what to pay for the RHD equivalents. I agree with your $200 estimate f...

Nice work!! Things are really moving forward, this is inspiring me to get mine into the workshop and get cracking.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers Warren

WOW! That is ridiculously expensive, he couldn't possibly have a market at those prices

Next time you need a "friendly" Mercedes parts supplier give Chris from Access Parts (Access Spares) a try if you haven't already, he supplies parts for most European makes but Mercedes is his niche. 67 Taunton Drv Cheltenham Ph. 9584 7788. I'll keep an eye out for you at Wandin this weeke...

http://www.alibaba.com/volvo-parts-c303-manufacturers.html Hi Eric try contacting this guy through alibaba (Progi), I contacted him with a similar request a little while back because I was researching converting LHD to RHD. He did get back to me asking for photos of the parts I wanted but as I am co...

Changed filter and flushed fluid now the groaning is gone. Thanks for the advice, particularly on the filter

Thanks Vince, I didn't realize that was a filter in the top of the pump.
Regards Warren.

To answer my own question ...I just googled it and it seems I should have used Pentosin CHF11S or the genuine stuff Q1320001as dexron ATF probably isn't good for it if what I read is correct, in hindsight I should have known MB don't use dexron but this didn't occur to me at the time. Very few Km's ...

Greetings, I've recently changed all the oils in my 712 which has G-wagen power steering conversion using both the G pump and steering box. As I don't have any G -wagen info on oil specs I just used a dexron 3 ATF as used in most power steering setups. Now I have a slight groaning coming from the pu...

First I have to thank edzz for resizing and posting those photos for me, I had no idea about resizing images until edzz explained in his recent PM to me. When I've learnt to turn my missus' laptop on, I will then learn about resizing and post some more photos if people want. Looks like its a three d...

I assume they are jpg's as these letters are a part of the file name, also maybe reated? I'm not able to change my username or add a photo to my profile, depending on my request on the edit profile page I get conflicting error messages... on the one hand it tells me "the new password is the sam...
