A busted radiator

So the Isuzu MU Wizard has a busted radiator. I tried sealing it with high temperature silicone and it worked for a while. However, the silicone kept coming off because of the dirt. I never bothered to do a through cleaning of the crack.

Anyway, I had the radiator removed last week and the Wizard has been sitting idle at the car park. I wanted to inspect it and find a more permanent solution. Below are pictures of the radiator.

The rust is a telltale sign of a leak in the radiator.

The crack is along the top tank and I could use some epoxy glue to hold it. However, I am not too sure it will last. Hence, I have gone ahead to find a new replacement. Unfortunately, that has not been too easy or cheap.

A new radiator imported from Australia will cost me around K800 plus freight and shipping of around K600. In total that is around K1400.

Notice the crack.

None of the local radiator shops I have approached have provided any positive feedback with this either.

Anyway, I am leaving for my recreational leave soon so I will have to continue this when I return in a couple of months.

Ball Joints and Wheel Bearings Replaced

So after a long hiatus we have finally started some work on our Isuzu MU Wizard. The first thing we did was replace the ball joints. The ball joints had reached the point where it would fall off any time. It would squeak whenever I hit a hump/bump or turned a corner. This led to me grounding the Wizard for almost 6 months. I know its a long time but I was caught up with work that there was very little time during the day to work on the SUV. Fortunately, I'm starting 2021 with catching up with the vehicle's maintenance. Last week we replaced all the ball joints and outer wheel bearings. All parts were sourced from Pacific Engineering in Port Moresby. The ball joints did not require special tools - ball joint puller, etc - but it did require some elbow grease and breaker bar. While the ball joints were out, we also decided to check the wheel bearings - and yes - they were also kaput. We ended up replacing them as well. We have also identified that the tie rod...

Interior Cleaning – Driver’s Seat

So I’ve started cleaning the interior beginning with the driver’s seat. The seats have collected dust over the years and I frankly not healthy for use. The interior is very dirty and will require a lot of cleaning. Anyway, I have started with the driver’s seat and I’m working my way around. I had initially wanted to have it vacuumed but after seeing this video I decided to give it a try. The seats are not in spectacular condition, but I have gotten rid of the dust and it is much better than it was. I also had to clean the bottom slider so the seat would move freely. It had hardened dirt could hardly move. I clean it using a carb cleaner which was a mistake. It turns out carb cleaner has paint thinner and stripped some of the paint. Driver's seat is much cleaner now. This was easily fixed with a bit of sandpapering and a coat of paint. I plan to have all the seats cleaned by the end of the week. Unfortunately, I have just met another obstacle – a dead battery.

At the Crossroads - To Sell or Not to Sell?

So I've reached a crossroad in this project. On one hand I would love to fix up the vehicle and gain some sort of accomplishment and pride. However, I would like to have it in the best condition possible because I would like to go on rides on the highway during weekends. I've also been thinking about renting accommodation away from the city - and I need something reliable. Don't get me wrong, the Isuzu MU Wizard has a beautiful engine and runs quite well. However, I am yet to get it into a stage where I will not worry about it breaking down. In addition, I have broken the driver's side window and that is another expense to the list of repairs I am yet to complete. I've used plastic to protect against the elements while I wait for the replacment. As I also mentioned earlier, trying to get the right parts for this vehicle is like finding a needle in a haystack. I have paid an importer to bring in a replacement from Australia - but they have found it a bit...
