Hey guys... got a question regarding replacing the H7 bulbs in my 2012 TM Barina.... for some reason I just can't get an identical replacement to fit..... I tried a test fit using the blown one I pulled out, and that won't fit again either....nothing is n the way, the little spring wire...

Cheers guys... after all that I think I've decided to drop the tank anyway... as my plans for the car include a v8 swap... so probably wise to upgrade the pump etc while I'm at it.... any tips to make dropping the tank easier?

****... 21° you must be constantly cooling your house

New Zealand I'm assuming. .. got similar bills running my pump too hard

On the title topic.... simple answer. HUMANS.

Hey guys, I know this has probably been discussed elsewhere... but I can't seem to come up with anything vz specific... I've retired my vz exec wagon, for the time being... as it needs serious bottom end work.... it has a full tank of fuel in it and I don't want to let it sit there... what is...

Hey guys... still having misfire issues on cylinder 5.. code P0305, misfire cylinder 5.. have replaced heater tap that was leaking onto that coil... replaced coils plugs intake manifold gasket... still misfiring.... swapped coils from 5 to 6 (because they're easily accessible) and 5 still...

Pcv mod already done, gaskets already ordered

Ok got to the bottom of it.. bit the bullet and bought a half decent scan tool.. fault in coil in cylinder 5... the one right under the heater tap, which recently was leaking onto the plug... I suspect that's what caused it... ordered all 6 coils and plugs to be on the safe side

Not entirely sure if Jaycar has nz stockists.... but I'll find something

Yes I'm well aware... **** I'm just about to scrap the damn thing and buy an older one...

Hopefully it's that... a lot cheaper than possible shagged timing chains

One thing I've noticed, fuel consumption. .. about 70% higher than normal according to the L/100k

Would any of those be specifically affected by temperature? I'll go get a shop scan when I can afford it... but I'm pretty certain it's spark related... as it's only dropping one cylinder and when it does it stinks of fuel... in hindsight I should've just bought a vt-vy as I know those ecos...

I know, and I plan to do it... I just want to have a rough idea on possible causes. ... missing steadily, CPT/CEL light on... Smell of fuel.... all symptoms only occur when up to temp... I'm guessing maybe a coil is flogged

I'm not asking for scan tool options... I'm asking for ideas of what the problem might be.

No, haven't got one, nor do I know anyone with one and I won't be able to take it anywhere for another week until payday.... if I had I wouldn't be asking on here what might be wrong with it.

Hey guys, back again with yet another problem with my bloody vz wagon. All has been largely good with it of late.... until yesterday.... Car runs fine when cold, no rough idle, runs smooth, no fuel smell... but that ALL changes the moment it starts getting up to running temp. Suddenly seems to...

Easy enough when u have 25 spare..... quick fix til I can afford? Block it off somehow? Yes v6... is it the thing that basically sits over the last coil on drivers side, vac hose at front and hoses going to firewall from the back?

So after all that fixing, finally replaced the radiator, now my heater tap is leaking.... is this an easy fix or not? Is there any temporary way to stop the leak? Block the inlet somehow?

Haha yeah I'm at those numbers now, a 3 year old and 6 week old twins... don't get out much now hahaha...

Yeah haha I'm up moronsville now... Night meets go off up here... farmers shooting at groups of 500+ cars etc.... as I said above I'm quite often down those ways.. many cruises go on these days?

Oh haha you wanganui? Oh well I'm quite often down palmy and new Plymouth so should catch s cruise at some point

Oh **** where you located? 100k West, I'm in moronsville

Update: I removed radiator, took a soldering iron and a couple of zip ties, plastic welded the small cracks and the things running cooler than it has in MONTHS, and not one leak.. Also replaced the cap. I'm confident this will hold up for a bit longer

Easy for some who actually have 200 bucks...

Precisely, I will replace it, this is just hunting for a solution for 10 days at the most as I'm on monthly pay haha

Ffs what part of I CANT AFFORD A FUXKING RADIATOR don't you guys get

And the govt say there's no Cost of living crisis here in nz what a crock

Who in NZ uses ebay lol... And some of us don't have the money to replace things.... like I said I'm basically broke with 2 new twins in the house.... just looking for a solution until I can afford to replace it

Or a soldering iron.... probably even better.... I only say plastic tig welding as it is somewhat similar, a heat source, and an external filler source

Lol I was even thinking a jet lighter and a zip tie... plastic tig welding

But very interesting video

Yeah we don't all have that kind of equipment available.... as I said I'm only looking for a temporary fix until I can replace with a new

And Mohammed Ali still has the fastest hands out there.

Thats the plan eventually... soon as I have a spare 2-300 I will be buying a new one.... just sick of adding 1L of coolant every day or 2

Fair call... sounds like the go.... just hunting the cheapest effective solution to fixing my daily and being able to do the 50km drive in slow traffic to and from work daily.

This one got me

It's not an issue of "don't want to replace" it's more an issue of I'm financially adjusting to having newborn twins in the house and can't afford to spend much so asking if a quick fix will actually last. It's a hairline crack running about 1" under the bleed screw, for context... I was...

Hey guys... I've got a leak in the plastic end tank under the bleed screw on the radiator of my v6 wagon. My question is: will a spray on sealant like Flex Seal or CRC stop leak be sufficient, or will something like RTV be more suitable? Cheers guys.
