Just got a call from the mechanic who was looking at my truck. (His shop was about 100 yards from where the truck stopped.) The good news is that...
I don't think I was over by that much. I'd be surprised if I was over by half a litre. I was over by about one-third the distance between the...
So I changed the oil in my '91 S/C Subaru Sambar on Saturday. When refilling it, I put too much in, but was pressed for time and figured it...
I'm glad this thread got some life. Just wanted to share my experiences. Good to see that a heated debate hasn't started. Then again, this forum...
Luckily, we've received a reasonable amount of snow this winter. This has given me the opportunity to test out my 1991 S/C Sambar's abilities on...
So I just typed in a detailed blow-by-blow of my replacement of the timing belt, camshaft seal, and crankshaft seal on my 1991 S/C Subaru Sambar....
Thanks for the suggestions guys. After playing with things a bit more (without an impact wrench), I gave up. For me, frustration seems to precede...
Ok. I'm dropping the pretense that I'm not actually fighting with this. It's getting cumbersome. Tried the starter method. Was pretty nervous....
Just to be prepared, in case something like this ever happens to me, I did some Googling and found a fairly good page on WikiAnswers. Another good...
The following is is just a for-instance and in no way whatsover reflects reality: Let's say that it's late Sunday afternoon and you've got your...
I'm old school and did it all by hand, but that's a great site to understand what's going on. A picture is worth a whole bunch of words. You...
That same thought crossed my mind, but was then pushed out by other junk. You are right that 23.34" is causing significant over-drive, but I'm...
Thanks for pointing that out. You've got some other stuff that interests me, but nice rims ain't it. Maybe when I get a van...
Ya. I don't post as much. The main change is that I really enjoy my job. My last job alternated between pure boredom and pure stress. Surfed a...
Last winter I had a naturally aspirated Subaru Sambar. With the 155/80R12s it came with and in 2WD on snow/ice, the back end of the truck was...
Back in January, thanks to Alberta's boom-bust economy, I found myself looking for a job. My search ended in late April. My new job was (and is)...
This obviously isn't related to your problem, but I had issues with my headlights with my first Sambar. If the switch was just so, they'd work,...
Aggressively accelerating from a stop on a gravel road (or any low-traction surface) is an easy way to tell which wheels are driven. You can...
This has been discussed elsewhere (in the Performance forum). The short version is that it simply doesn't work. The longer version is that any...
What is it about diesels that gets folk so excited? I'm so far north that I wouldn't consider one. Just too many mornings that the fuel would be...
