I was wondering if anyone could recommend a suitable replacement for a GJ Heater Valve Tap. Mine is frozen and as a result always blows freezing cold air into the cabin. I did have a look at the Gates website for an aftermarket one : http://www.gates.com/australia/brochure.cfm?brochure=5128&loca...

Thanks for that info, it's greatly appreciated. I always had a sneaking suspicion there'd be a relay somewhere, but with it not being mentioned at all in the gregorys book I was perhaps relaying too heavily on it (rather than just following my instinct). I'm picking up my sigma from my old man's pla...

In Tamworth (NSW) there's at least 4 that I know of that I see doing the rounds on a regular basis. The other week while doing some errands around town (and it's something I should've got a photo of) there were 3 sigmas all in a row at a set of traffic lights. White GL turning left, my blue GJ going...

G'day Everyone, I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar to the one I'm experiencing with my wipers on my 82 GJ. When you move the wipers stalk to "intermittent" ..... nothing happens. Move the stalk to either lo and hi and the wipers will move at the appropriate speed. There's als...

G'day Everyone, i thought someone might find this useful ... after calling all of my local wreckers in search of a diff filler plug for my GJ ... and being told by Mitsubishi the part was no longer available (and no wreckers being of help). Finally, one of the local wreckers told me that VM to VS co...

G'day Guys, Sorry for the stupid question, I recently purchased some headlight covers for my '82 GJ sigma (I have the model # at home, will post later). I had a go at the weekend at trying to get the blazin things on, but couldn't work out how to get them to fit. I was just wondering if anyone knows...

Just to update everyone on this one ... this is what I found out. Problem was with the temp sender unit ... the test for this being fault is to earth or connect the sender unit wire onto the engine with the ignition set to ON (but not the engine running). If the gauge moves up to HOT then you know i...

Question is ... is it actually running any hotter than before ? or is the gauge just saying it is ? If nothing else has been changed, it's probably running at the same temperature it always was. I'm guessing the latter, but I've been wrong before. Is there anyway to test that the engine is *not* ge...

buy a varible resistor and fit it in the single wire of the sender wiring, when the engine is up to opperating temperature, move the resistor untill the gauge reads as it would have prevoiusly, and dont touch it again. or just buy the correct sender for the sigma gauge I like the idea of the variab...

I just realised I forgot to mention, the aftermarket sender unit (Champion branded) is slightly longer in its probe part (the part which sits inside the engine) than the original sender unit (approx 2-3mm longer). I just checked on the champion website (which annoyingly required me to become a membe...

Yeh mate, that's what I was thinking. Who knows how long the old sender unit had been on the way out for. Unfortunately, I didn't even think of measuring the resistances of the old and new sender units (mental note for next time). I'm hoping tomorrow to get a chance to give the car a good run (open ...

G'day Everyone, Last week my temp gauge stopped working. So I purchased an aftermarket temp sender unit, put it in, had a cold beer, ran the engine for a couple of minutes to check the gauge actually worked (which it did), then sat back and watched the footy. However, I noticed this morning on the w...

Ah, thanks mate. Was just pouring over the greg's manual to find out where it is. Ta for the info :-)
Cheers,
TC

Yeh, am tossing up whether its the gauge or the thermostat. I was of the thought that since the gauge *does* move then its working properly. But I've run into trouble before with this idea (I ran my wife's car out of fuel one day as the gauge was moving, but wasn't moving accurately). My bro was jus...

Yeh, that's what I was thinking too mate.

Just to re-inforce ... the guage does actually move ... it moves a cm from Cold stop then it doesn't ago any higher regardless of how long I let the old girl idle for.

Does this help @ all?

G'day Lads, Guys, I've got an odd one here. I noticed this afternoon while driving around town on my way home from work that my temperature guage wasn't working correctly. Normally, the gauge rises up to the middle of the first stop (the first stop above the Cold stop) on the temperature gauge or a ...

It will be a matter of cutting single plug of end of loom, working out HI/LOW/Earth wires and simply wiring a H4 plug (available from Repco, Bursons etc) onto the loom. I wouldn't bother cutting the existing harness. Buy a few of these harnesses and just plug into the existing wiring. The HID syste...

I have a H4 HID upgrade kit here that I will be using to convert my GK Rally Car. It will be a matter of cutting single plug of end of loom, working out HI/LOW/Earth wires and simply wiring a H4 plug (available from Repco, Bursons etc) onto the loom. The back of the headlight will need to be modifi...

They arent HIDs they are just normal halogen globes with coloured lenses. Yeh I recently blew one of the H4 bulbs (drivers side) and replaced it with one of these blue coloured ones which I had lying around (they were originally in my wife's car before I upgraded it to HID). I decided to only repla...

If you turn on electrical accessories one by one (ie. wipers, cabin a/c fan, aux radiator fan, spotties, blah blah) you'll notice that as you turn on each device the revs will drop (sometimes 100rpm per device). If you've got to turn quite a few on at once, you have to rest your foot gently on the ...

I was wondering if anyone has worked out a way of putting HID lights into their sigma? I've upgrade all of my other cars, but they've all used the new modern H4 and H1 (or H3) connectors which most new cars have. This is the first vehicle I've attempted it to where the wiring has been different. The...

Yeh mate, I had a go at it the other arvo after getting home from work early. I found the small gaps on the inside of the fenders that was previously mentioned. Ta for the tips on the gear to use, I might give it another shot over the weekend. That'd be awesome mate if you're able to send them along...

For this interested, if anyone is, I managed to get this working by replacing the blown fuse (the original was 15A, but I replaced it with a 10A). This made the fan work for a while (a day or 2) and then it stopped completely. I have since replaced the relay with a brand new one (30A) and now it wor...

No probs, for one thing you'd know if it was reading faster than your actual speed.

My falcon ute reads 5km/h fast when I'm doing 100km/h. I didn't even twig until I went for a drive on the Newell and had semi's piling up behind me ... grabbed the ol' GPS and confirmed it for me.

Guess I'll just have to get someone to drive beside me and yell out what there's reads compared to mine

Why not borrow someone's GPS and put it on its "Speed setting", they're not 100% accurate, but will give you an idea of how close you are either way.

G'day, Umm, doesn't that just remove the park light / indicator lens at the front of the car? I'm trying to remove the indicator lights at the top of the bonnet ... or is there a secret (Maxwell Smart type of way) of getting to the bonnet mounted indicators through this park-light / blinker lens onc...

My sigma has this exact same prolem. The problem can be brought on moreso if you're running additional accessories. For example, with it in neutral (and with the automatic choke worn off), the engine will happily idle @ 900rpm. If you turn on electrical accessories one by one (ie. wipers, cabin a/c ...

I am guessing by "bonnet indicators" you mean the little lights on top of the front gaurds? Yeah, you're on the right thing here. My apologies for the bad explanation, my terminology is hardly up to scratch. If so aren't these "your thrashing me" lights??? They only illuminate w...

G'day Guys, Seeing as though summer is upon us I am wanting to re-hook-up the radiator fan on my GJ sigma. The radiator fan was all bolted in when I got the car but the previous owner had disconnected it due to some malfunction with the thermal microprocessing unit they'd put on fan to make it cut i...

G'day,
I tried the WD-40 trick last night, but it didn't help ... still no illumination.

So my only option is now to try to remove these bonnet indicators ... any tips on how it's done?

It looks like it ain't going to be easy.

Thanks for all the help :-)

Cheers,
TC
