Hi Folks

This may sound like a strange question seeing as i already have a set, but here goes :

Does anyone know a what set of complete C303 Portal axles sell for ??

I like the concept of British Racing Green myself !!

As mentioned previously, i have a Volvo c303 and it didn't come with the original radiator (Grrrrr) !! Anyhoo, the radiator that came with it is a big arse truck radiator with twin fans. Seeing as i don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on getting one specially made, i was hoping to mount the radi...

I have to admit, there looks like a lot of mud over there in Malaysia.

Those Jungle trails look very slippery !!

Hi Folks

I was speaking to a mechanic i used to take my car to get serviced (until he robbed me blind one day repairing a cracked head on a Vitara) about Portal axles on my C303.

He mentioned that one of the biggest problems with portals is that they can overheat !! Is this true ?

I have sent two e-mails requesting information about his C303 radiators, and had no reply as yet.

The stock lockers work perfectly. Why redesign the wheel? The only reason i posed the question about the ARB style air lockers, was that i have been told that there could be one tank which may be cracked, as it's not holding vacuum. I have two really good air compressors and was going to use one if...

Hi there


I understand that the C303 has lockers front and rear, can these be adapted to run like a compressor style ARB locker ?

How do the vaccum lockers work exactly ?

Hi Folks I am looking at getting the existing front seats on my c303 replaced (eventually) and was wondering if anyone has repaired /fixed theirs ? Are the existing seats comfortable for long distance driving or offroad ? If i replace them with reclining bucket seats, will normal ones fit (eg height...

Hi folks I need to get a radiator made for my c303 and was told that one with longer/wider fins cools better than a 3 or 5 core ? I would love to get one made in the same size to fit the existing radiator space, as mine didn't come with a radiator at all. The truck I have has a 4 ltr diesel motor. D...

No kidding the swampers are like $320 ea.

Here in Australia, 315/75 R16's (35") Muddies have been known to sell for $500 each !!

I remember paying $330 each for Cooper STT Muddies in a 285/75/R16 (33") about 2 and a half years ago.

Tyre prices are just
