guys is it safe / ok to shift while your in low range when using 4x4 , specially when u need torque and speed at the same time.. i was under the impression the low range was ideal only for 1st and reverse only...appreciate ur thoughts and comments..

I guess they ll bring the ifs and but s to deter car sale guys trying to screw the system by using this permit scheme..anyways it's a good step in the right direction for foreign workers....

thtas great carboy if u can PM me the details , ill contact the guy , yeah i know what u mean keeping the factory spec , but i would really like to do it up cuz ,that car screams modification .. (lol at least for me) ive seen some proper done up ones and they look damn sexy . the hard part will be finding a 2 door mk1. theres plenty of 4 doors around but its just not the same.

of course i know what a escort mexico is my friend , i know my share of history about escorts , looool , its practically impossible to find an engine like that in SL , and if ur lucky u might find one in UK for about 7000 pounds , (just for the engine ) so do u think its viable to bring it down to Sl . knowing about cars and being practical is two different things.
-
i checked out the engines that devinda has mentioned , both of them looks really good . the question is will it be possible to find them in SL with the tranny, intact.. and what abt the modifications to the rear axel and the brakes..

hey hard hat , just a question mate .. since you own a L400 space gear , how is the vehicle.. ive been very interested in 4wd space gear , but evryone is discouraging me from buying one ,giving many reasons , but ive done my research on the net , and seen some videos ,, and i dont understand why people in SL are not fond of the L400.. any personal opinions or suggestions.. cuz im very tempted to buy one...

It's otherway around, not much spares available as the population of this model is relatively low. Engine parts wouldn't be much of an issue but body parts and suspension would be.
Anyways why on earth you decided to put such a heavy, van (which, spares are not easily available) to off roading ? The thing is, after a good (not extreme) off roading session you have to expect few things under the floor to give up.
There are much better cost effective alternatives out there than a space gear.
I just wanted a reliable 7 seater , with off road capabilities , not that ill be doing extreme off roading with it. I don't wanna go for a tipical 4wd VAN , if u have a suggestion for any other vehicle , I'd really appreciate it (my budget is 3.2 mil)
-
i think its pretty good off road too....some videos on utube are amazing.. but as u said spare parts might be a problem..maybe thats why not much of them are around....
-
guys im thinkin about buying a 4wd space gear ... did some reading and seems a pretty decent vehicle .. anyone got any experience with one , and any pro s and con s are appreciated before i make my decision ...thanks guys
-
thanks nzer , ill try to sort it out , as soon as im back in SL , hope it doesent give any other problems till then..

well they have taken the car for a trans oil change , and the EXPERT who did it has only changed the oil and not the filter , saying there's no requirement to change the filter , the car has about 90000 km on it and i think this is the first time the oil was changed. im not in the country at the moment so cant do much about it. i think trans oil and filter should be changed evry 40000 or so...do u think changing filter might help this.... appreciate ur opinion.

Guys I'm having problems with a 04 swift , it has developed Problem in down shifting . Whenever it needs to down shift specially from 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd it takes a long time and the engine revs to the max before it finally changes , and I started getting a an intermittent check engine indication. Showed the car to many mechanics but no luck so far . I'm thinking of taking it to the dealers for a check up, but any advise y'all can provide regarding this is highly appriciated. Cheers
