Rocky without rear prop shaft, can it be driven in 4 wheel drive ?

Forum: 

Hi all, a few months ago, my daughters Rocky had a UJ fall to bits on her rear prop shaft, so I took OFF the rear prop shaft and parked it up until i got a replacement sorted out and then the weather took a turn for the worse and her alternative transport went AWOL, so i had the idea of putting it in four wheel drive and letting her still use it, i couldnt see it doing any harm at all.

Sportrak - exhaust type rattle when accelerating

Forum: 

Can anyone identify the source of this noise. It comes in at about 3000rpm in all gears and sounds like a heat shield or plate resonating, it stops about 800rpm later. I have just driven a mates car and it makes almost the same noise. He has replaced the exhaust and cat on his to try and eliminate it to no avail.

Any ideas?

New to Fourtrak

Forum: 

Hello - just looking for advice. Have owned 4x4 for years and persuaded my son to get a fourtrak which I collect Wednesday, It is a '97 TDX - now all 4x4 are different. Do I run this normally in 2wd or 4 wd please.

Anything in particular to watch for - has doen 100k miles and had new cam belt last year.

Any advice appreciated.

Many thanks

Paul

Forum: 

If anyone out there wants a '96 sporty which smokes a bit it's going on ebay tomorrow with a buy it now price of £500. It has done 54K miles with previous MOT's to prove. It has new exhaust, battery, leads and valve stem oil seals. It's in good nick but I haven't got time to sort it out, I only bought it to play in the mud.

Rocky/Fourtrack: Fuel Consumption?

Forum: 

I recently bought a 2000 Rocky SE 2.7 Turbodiesel (See photographs in Gallery). We went on a trip, not driving hard or too fast, 70 -100 km/h, and the average fuel consumption over a distance of 5000km is about 9.5 l/100km. About 20 km therof was in 4 wheel drive.

Is that good or bad? I read of an Isuzu that does 15 l/100km.
