colourclassic Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 My VL's fuel gauge (and probably everyone else's) used to intermittently stop working. A good slap of the dash would bring it back to life usually. Finally got fed up with that and pulled the cluster out, turned out there were a bunch of cold-soldered joints that had cracked. Re-flowed them and no more worries Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379859-vic-wasteland-thread/page/2707/#findComment-7114204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Huge liability issues right there, I doubt SAU Vic would wanna get involved in that without some exxy insurance as they could pretty easily get sued...but it isn't a bad idea by any stretch. Just get a couple of people to chip in for a 1 year lease up front, get address and drivers licence details, install a security camera and away you go!

Odium Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Can pick up a 2 post hoist for $3k or so I think... I know a few blokes who share a garage in an industrial area in a similar way, seems to work for them and it makes their girlfriends happy to not have all the junk in the garage Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379859-vic-wasteland-thread/page/2707/#findComment-7114501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leroy Peterson Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 everyone on the internet is just like "just solder the contacts on the AFM, its a piece of piss" "Z32 AFMs often get bad connections, just open it up and have a look"no one tells you how to open it or how not to open it. if mine wasnt f**ked, it certainly is now lol anyone know where i can get one locally even if its a bosch one?
