Rear Differential Leak

Forum: 

Hi

I'm the proud new owner of a Terios circa 97/98!

There is a small leak from the rear axle. Excuse my ignorance but its from the circular shaped bit in the middle of the rear axle which I am assuming its the rear differential.

How worried should I be about that. I'm talking a couple of drips a night or so. Its due a service in 2000 km, can I just hang on until then to get it sorted?

Cracked windscreen ..... AGAIN !

Forum: 

I picked up a crack in my 4trak windscreen a while back. It wasn't repairable but neither was obscuring my vision so I left it until nearer the MOT before getting it fixed.

It was fixed a couple of weeks ago ..... great, all done and dusted HA b....dy HA !

A truck spat up a stone today and put a 4 inch crack in the damn windscreen again, a week before the MOT.

Fourtrak roof racks and model numbers

Forum: 

Sorry these may be some silly questions but Im a new Fourtrak owner and I'm struggling to find some info.

Ive got a '98 TDX Independent but would like to fit a roof rack to carry a canoe. Is this possible? I understand the rear raised roof section is non load bearing. Can I do anything other than get a rather expensive custom made rack which has supports down to the rear plate by the lights?

Fourtrak Diesel Tank Removal

Forum: 

When I let the fuel run low the filter gets filled up with rubbish. I doubt the tank has been off in 20 years. Has anyone got any tips for removing and cleaning the tank? Can you drop the tank down before removing the pipes/electrics? How do the electrics disconnect, is there a plug? The metal fuel pipes are quite rusty up by the shock mount where they vanish from sight and so I don't want to break anything off.

Cheers, Ben.

TDX type arch covers on a Fieldman

Forum: 

Is it possible to fix the plastic arch covers used on TDX models to the steel arches of a Fieldman. I have a year 2000 Fourtack TDL Fieldman and the edges of the rear wheel arches has suffered some corrosion. I thought (!?) that a simple solution might be to cut away the corroded edge of the arch, treat and paint the remainder and then fix (glue) a set of plastic arch covers which I could probably find at a breakers.

Question is; will these just fit on top of the existing Fieldman arches?
