Thanks mate - Close this off with a link to a vid on YT:

A while back I got my power steering rack rebuilt and I reinstalled it - but I noticed its now leaking. On closer inspection it looks like its coming from where the pipes meet the assembly Being a newbie I never bothered replacing the copper washers as I never had any... part number is 49726 - Does anybody know what size these copper washers are ID & OD - do they need to be genuine parts or could I buy from Repco and the like... Also I've noticed that there are some O'rings part number 49345A again I may have missed these but they look like a copper washer - Can any body tell me what size they are can I buy them from Repco. When I googled the part numbers - they seem to also appear as Nissan Pathfinder parts - are some R32 parts compatible with the Pathfinder? See images

but they still need to be glued on don't they?

trel - You sir are a legend - thanks

Thanks but I can assure you I never hit 180 kmh or close to it - Might have to give it another belting to see when it triggers

Surely you must be able to change the setting

I'd say it would make a noise post 120kph never felt it was revving high Trel, if it is a speed alarm how do you adjust this?

Sorry don't get that - You think it was a warning of sorts?

I know you may be thinking WTF? But today was the first opportunity I got to push the R32 a bit hard and the RB20 quite comfortably exceeded the speed limit. What I noticed was not that it had so much more to give but the car made a beeping or chiming sound - What is this noise? Was it a warning, a speed limiter and if so how can you adjust it or turn it on/off. It only made the chiming at the top end and then it would disappear on normal driving.. Any ideas?

Just seeking some advice - the internal trim around my rear quarter windows keeps coming loose - I have tried contact adhesive, contact gel, waiting for both sides to remain tacky - have tried wedging plastic pieces into the edge to hold them in place as the glue dries but they continue to peel back due to the heat & sun. Has anybody found a product or a way to stick the trim material down for good? See photos

Hi guys on this rubber hose issue - Can I simply replace the hose with a rubber house equivalent cut to length, or do I need some genuine moulded parts?

Guys thanks for the advice - I think I found a mechanic in Seven Hills who's given me the confidence to do the job... Thanks again

Hi All, As I have no service history on my stock auto R32 GTST so am considering replacing the timing belt - As I have no service history, (well I spoke to the last mechanic who put a sticker on the car and he only did a service on it and although I asked for a price for a new timing belt - he never corrected me to tell me it was replaced) - I was thinking for my own peace of mind that I probably should replace it - at least it gives me confidence knowing that it was done at a certain date, but here's the thing: What if I don't replace it and it breaks, will it totally stuff up the engine? - What's the definition of 'stuff up'? Should I even bother replacing it? Apart from obvious wear - What should I look for to see if its on the way out - or am I just wasting my money How hard is it to replace the belt, myself (I saw some DIY instructions on the forum) When I priced the cost via a mechanic or three to replaced the belt, they suggested that they do the full kit - I assume this includes: Belt, Water Pump, thermostat, crankshaft & camshaft seals, idler & tensioner bearings. The cost for this works varies between $1100 - $2095 !! I'd be keen to hear your thoughts... Also - any recommendations for a local mechanic in the Parramatta - Hornsby area. Cheers

Sounds like what used to happen on my VW Beetle - Thanks. Where are these located towards the tank?

So I've noticed that there is a distinct petrol smell coming from the car - not that I have noticed a loss in fuel as I'm not driving it daily and I have not had it on the road long enough to know if it leaks but it does seem to consume a bit, but I thought I'd start off asking you guys of any known issues with petrol leaks or odors that are likely with an R32.. Where should I start looking? Are the fuel lines all steel or are there rubber pipes for joins - I assume that these may have perished - Could be the cause? Any help would be appreciated.
