Yes it is cracked but if you are only using it for a weekend I wouldn't touch it and it will leak some but get you through the weekend. If you wanted too you could possibly wrap it with an exhaust bandage as a temporary fix. Never heard of extractors for a Canter engine but not saying they...

Balance beads are the way to go - " the rate is 1oz per 10Lbs of tyre or part there of ". So 73Lb tyre takes 8ozs. Yes I know it's in Imperial weights but convert it then. Using balance beads is great as in if you cut a piece out of a tyre on a rock or something it will still balance up. I'm...

Nice looking Canter, love the camper body. I would say that by the looks of it yes it will cover your Canter. There is a lot of similarities between earlier models and often the same parts used. Dan.

That is where I would look first. Warm the engine up and then remove the tappet cover, start the engine with cover off and use the handle of a screw driver to apply a little pressure to the rocker arm above the valve and see if you get a noise change, do this to all valves and you should pick up...

My believe is turbo setups from the major suppliers are fairly conservative in performance gain as they don't want problems with the customers. Yes they improve performance some. Definitely need an intercooler, I can't see where they can say an intercooler doesn't help performance (cooler air)...

They are a good solid engine and I don't know where the cut off is to engine mods to reliability. Unless you are heavier than me I'm not having that problem. Even loaded with 2.5 tonnes of sweet potatoes on board I can hold 100Klm/hour except on the really steepest hills. Even though you are...

Ram post. You can change height to what you want and bring it closer or further away. I use it to mount my Surface Pro3 but there are a lot of different holders to suit what ever you want. It is bolted to the floor and as you can see it has a stainless plate to help stabilize it that is bolted...

Actually that makes a lot of sense because the weight is coming of the top tyres just before rollover. Need to remember that. Dan.

You got it. There should be a little red ring in there that floats on the water but not the diesel at the separation layer to indicate water level. Dan

FG649 and 637/9 are the same gearbox and transfer case and you are correct in saying that we have 5th gear as overdrive in our gearboxes, But our transfer cases are then underdriven in high range. So there goes the overdrive advantage. Saving on fuel cost is real if a lot of normal road mileage...

I'll chime in here as well. Another nice pic. I operate bulldozers regularly in steep country so I know what steep side slopes are, where you are hanging onto the seat by your ar***ole. My Canter has been very close to that because I had the same effect on the Canter seat. Now there are a lot of...

This is something that I looked at and could not find an overdrive box (Joey Box) that was suitable without being too large and weighty and not having to stretch the chassis by at least 50cm (20") or more. So this is way that I went :-...

If it is a FG639 then no it shouldn't happen. Never ever happened to my FG637 So yes it has gotten water into one of the junction boxes by the sounds of it. Yes, getting yourself a little bow wave going and staying steady on the accelerator is a good thing. Most people hit the water to fast...

That's not a bad depth of water, but when it reaches the tray height and looks like it will get into the Camper then I start to worry. Dan

Also a breather on the top of the fuel tank which should be extended. Dan.

This I had when the exhaust brake butterfly on mine (Canter) was sticking. Example :- driving along with accelerator down - release accelerator - exhaust brake comes on - put foot on accelerator to give it some power but exhaust brake doesn't go off straight away and releases a couple of seconds...

Like Gait says to many unknowns to give all the answers. Model of Canter is important as to whether it is computer related or not. My guess will be water in the fuel tank through the breather and now filter system, that would possibly be a 10 mile run. Dan.

Idle is easy. Does it have Aircon and is it on - they are setup with fast idle for this. Turn it off and idle should ease back. Is the hand throttle turned right back. If they aren't the problem than lift the cab and follow to where the cable runs to the fuel injector pump and there will be an...

I've bought from " Treestuff ". The sell Samson Rope at what ever length you want. Dan.

Nothing wrong with it - just needs a lot of love. Dan.
