I've just got hold of a 1990 UK spec Sportrack (I'm living in Cyprus and they're usually called Ferozas here).
I can see why you guys are so full of enthusiasm for the machine!
I'd like some advice please:
the suspension is looking "tired" so I want to replace the leafs and shocks. Is this a good time to raise the body up - is it all part of the same job? Also - how much to raise by - like most off-roaders (I suspect) this car will be driven on road for most of the time.
Also, does the lift create much extra body roll in "normal" road driving conditions - the roads round here are faily twisty at the best of times.
I have just bought a G reg UK Fourtrack, on the left of the dash is an icon named fuel drain, this lights is on. I have no manual and am wondering why it is on, can anyone help me. I have already changed all the filters and oil.
any help would be appreciated.
I've been thinking about one of these 4 x thingies for a while now and
I've finally got some cash together to go a hunting.
I quite fancy a Fourtrak TDX Independent, the one with the big arches &
wheels. Looked at Swb Shoguns/Pajero's and they're Ok but there seems
an awful lot that could go wrong. Plus they're a bit thirsty.
So I hoped that you guys (being the experts) could point a poor
helpless soul in the right basic direction.
What I'm lookin' for is a small-ish 4 x 4 that has enough grunt
to pull a ton of caravan around fairly easily. Has to be a diesel,
Lets assume that I have £400 burning a hole in my pocket?
Is a monsoon soft top the way to go or are there better soft tops on the market? As we all know the sun is shining intermitently all summer but "She who must be obeyed" wants a soft top in order to experience that wind in the hair feeling...and why not?
Hi there, I am a Jreg Sportrak owner 1.6elxi. The bodywork is pretty mint apart from the 4 plastic end caps on the front and rear. I am wondering if anybody knows if I can either spray them or get new ones, if the latter where can I get them and how much.
Hope you can help,
many thanks

Metalic blue, A bar, hella spots, C-D player, soft top (alloys with 4x4 stamped in them (( not sure which sort, maybe someone could help me here too.))
I seem to be having quite a job tracking down chrome wheel centres for my alloys. I have had them refurbished (Alloys) but the centre cups (over the hubs) have become very corroded as have the wheel nuts. I will post a picture soon so you can see which alloys they are. I was wondering if anyone could offer advice on how to rectify the problem as it is spoilig the overall appearance somewhat.
Being new to the Sportrak has created some questions, which hopefully members out there may be able to answer
I have read the article on how to remove the resin top and although this does not appear to be too difficult can anyone tell me if you can buy a soft top for when it inevitably rains leaving you and your Sporty feeling rather damp?
|I have been told that, prior to me visiting this board, there was much talk about gear selection probs. being caused by a bolt in the 'box working loose on Sportraks.
Where is this, exactly, and do you have to drop the gearbox to get at it?
well i have only just bought myself a fourtrack and i have never had a jeep so i need some answers to the folowing
what is 4high for?
what is 4low for?
when do i need to lock the hubs?
do i need to reverse after i lock the hubs?(i have been told this locks them in place)
and any other usefull advice yous can give me would be appreciated very much
