Long Wheel Base Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 so what you need from AC/DC A capacitor for my pool pump. After struggling for a few weeks getting the creepy to work as advertised I decided to completely overhaul the pump yesterday. After opening it I am not surprised the kreepy didn't work. The impeller was very worn and the impeller housing was cracked badly. Anyway changed absolutely everything I could. Put it back in and it works like a treat. Then last night I switched off to backwash etc and it wouldn't start again, just hummed. Hummed for a few seconds and then just died so I am hoping it is just the capacitor and then some sort of heat protection shutoff(the capacitor did smell a bit dodge). Last time I bought one was a few years back and it was R90 from Riaan Pool and a buddy bought one from ACDC the same week for R20. So I will sommer go straight to them but googling prices it seems they have gotten expensive. Buliders and pool shops seem to be charging over R300.

We have an AC/DC that open just around the corner from me, i have not been able to visit as it closes at 1pm on a saturday.

In that centre by Gelmar, next to the flea market.

DJR Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 For the Landy lovers...................Turning circle = Serengeti Plains...................but I love mine, even though I am now seriously considering buying something else. I looked at the new Defender and decided that it is way too larney a car for what I want to do with mine. EddieV 1
EddieV Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 ...................Turning circle = Serengeti Plains...................but I love mine, even though I am now seriously considering buying something else. I looked at the new Defender and decided that it is way too larney a car for what I want to do with mine. Can't agree with you more ... … mine, a Cruiser, not a Landy, was stolen recovered, shot full of holes by the police trying to apprehend the thieves ….. and classified as code 3. The insurance company had it fixed and I decided that I would ride it until the wheels come off. But the wheels do not want to come off. Seems as long as I keep feeding it oil and diesel it keeps on going … hehehe And it’s the perfect vehicle for going where you’re not suppose to go without feeling sorry for the paintwork …… Long Wheel Base 1

I swore it would NEVER break and then out of the blue last year it broke a valve stem and stuffed the motor up badly. But now, for a not-so-reasonable amount of cash, it is running again and I swear it will NEVER again break down. Except of course for punctures - the terrain where it lives, is terrible on side walls, especially if you use it off road. We sommer permanently keep 2 spares on the back, a pump and some tyre-weld permanently behind the drivers seat. Edited March 15, 2021 by DJR EddieV and Long Wheel Base 2
Monark Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Sold my 79 series LC the other day and don't regret the decision at all. Too loud, too harsh and too thirsty.
