probably wrong forum but I couldn't find the right one. One of the videos highlighted in the top band on the portal caught my eye. Driving in sand tracks. https://expeditionportal.com/votd-driving-in-sand-tracks/ It surprised me that no mention was made of tyre pressures. My limited...

Replace vee belts with Mitsubishi parts I've been carrying around for 5 years. I have old belts labeled 12.5x1185 (two for alternator drive) and 12.5x1450 for aircon. "Standard" vee belt profiles include "A" 13mm wide by 8mm deep. what size vee belts do I need? PS I'm guessing Gates V Belt...

I have the manual ...... however ....... reality doesn't quite match the pics ........ how to adjust brake pad clearance and ratchet travel without removing drive shaft and drum? any suggestions?

the circuit diagram I have for FE equivalent of my FG shows a 10A fuse M5 in the low power fuse box that supplies "MUTIC" (multi use timer) also supplies blower and aircon control switches. Power for aircon and blower come through high power fuse box and relays controlled by control switches...

anyone know where there's a 4D34 3AT3B 3.9 litre turbo engine for 2004 FG649E available in good condition, preferably east coast Aus, but anywhere in Aus, that can be shipped to Kimberley. So far I have a few leads among "usual suppliers" in Sydney and Brisbane, and a medium mileage engine in Perth.

on Feb 9th (in Nepal) we had a near dashboard fire. Saved by disconnecting battery. Sod of a job bypassing damaged wires to get us mobile. Yet to replace loom (but will do). The cause of my almost fire was a short somewhere and a fuse that melted but didn't blow. Yesterday just north of...

2005 FG649 Aus. Can anyone tell me where the major shared earth connections are for headlights, exhaust retarder, blower fan, aircon, electric windows, are? First symptoms after stopping, a few minutes after ignition off, smoke and smell from under dashboard to left of instruments...

November last year was a thread on "Code Reader" about MUT and OBD etc. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-88402.html In the middle of it reference was made to "Memory Clear" and "Diag Check" wires for rudimentary reading of two digit ECU error codes through flashing dash...

I know its been asked before but I've failed to find one. Does anyone have an electronic copy for 2005 FG649 Turbo they can send me? 2005 was the end of a run rather than beginning. I'm really interested in the pretty lights on the dash - the red one that looks like a side on engine (above the...

silly question..... for 2005 FG649 I have part numbers for headlight bulbs .... Main/Dip Koito Japan H460020 12V60/55W 37R(E4)2CN Main Philips Germany 12258 12V 55W Does anyone have alternate part numbers? I'm also trying the tried and true "have you got one of these?" approach, but my...

got increasingly tired over several 10 hour days on rough (<20km/hr) roads. Started making mistakes. Got bogged heading for nice patch to camp on. Locked the front hubs to reverse and forgot to move the gear lever so got more bogged! Wise enough not to spin wheels but moved enough so front...

my oil level test switch on FG649 stopped functioning a couple of days ago. There's plenty of oil showing on the dip stick. I used to hear a click as the test light changed to green. But alas no more. Zilch. So far I've checked the switch (it works ok with zero resistance when pressed)...

it can't be any different to any of the other drum brakes I've adjusted over the years. But just in case ..... any hints on drum brake adjustment on Canter FG649E from someone who's done it?

I have a 2005 FG648E. Driven 30,000km from Malaysia, China, Mongolia, to UK. Standard suspension. Only a couple of bottom leaves on one front spring broken - repair in Hungary! Front shock absorbers weak, one rear shock absorber leaking oil. Time for new ones. I can't find the thread here where...

thanks for all the posts in this forum. Most useful. My build was completed last June after about 6 months hard work. After that 5 months through the center of Aus to test it (and us). Last 3 months has been preparation for SE Asia, China, Mongolia, Russia, Europe etc. interrupted by having to...

On an FG I bolted the air filter housing back onto the chassis yesterday, needed access to something else. Air intake is above and behind cab. Filter at fuel tank level. Noticed that there are two simple soft rubber "non-return valves" about 1 1/2" diameter in the bottom. One below the center...

trivial question time .... can someone tell me the pitch circle diameter (the diameter of the circle which passes through the centre of all the studs, wheel bolts or wheel rim holes) for the 5 stud FG wheel. I can measure it and arrive at "about 208 mm" but I suspect I'm a fraction out and...
