STUCK IN CROC INFESTED KIMBERLEY RIVER - MAJOR breakage with no fix 400km from help

Ahhh Just seen the next couple video titles and seen the engine blew up anyhow haha

Well it is still a good circuit to understand how to breakdown and isolate to troubleshoot for many a vehicles prior to the 40,000 computer module models, but I'm pretty frign certain I ain't going to see you try to take a hybrid out there hahaha so therefore this may certainly help you someday.
Enjoy mate and love the episodes.

Thanks fellas

Got a feeling it is a dodgy ignition contacts mate for that starter issue, provided you have replaced starter solenoid at times of starter and check the terminal on the exciter wire is not corroded where it is first clamped by the connector terminal (starter end obviously mate)
Even just cut off the one there and refit new terminal to eliminate that all together, and of that is good id definitely check the terminals are not fried or partially burnt at relay (under bonnet) then also the fuse and then chase that back mate really is only the dodgy contacts in the key mate and if you feel any slop in the ignition via the key then I'd near put my money on it that you should just run a separate dedicated Button to send the power down to starter motor and simply bypass the ignition altogether and id confirm these by pulling that relay next time it happens and bridge it from terminal that will show constant voltage [Power for the Control Side of Relay]
and a quick continuity test holding 1 end of your lead at starter end of exciter wire and poke the remaining terminal at relay (preferably the most likely one you think it will be the simply poking everything) provided you got the power one located then you are not going to hurt anything mate and after you locate the terminal that shows continuity from the multimeter and then simply poke that wire u have into the power wire terminal and then without hesitation to minimise the arc, shove it into the terminal that feeds to the exciter wire and if that fires as per normal then you can safely say your issue is likely from the relay box back to the firewall and to the ignition.
Quite a simple procedure mate but rather give you as much detail as I can there so you know you are good with what your about to do and understand the result from what is found from doing this step.

Hope this makes sense mate and hope it helps you out
Cheers

I had a similar starter issue with my (automatic gearbox) Falcon, found out the neutral safety switch sometimes thought it was still in gear and thus not allow it to crank at all unless the starter was shorted.

Maybe im just American, and that's why it bothers me, but I was always taught to hit mud holes as hard as possible and never let off the throttle. So this kills me seeing them going into midsole so gingerly lol

3 winches is crazy

Ima say it's a loose ground or a bad ground connection

Wow what an amazing video

ONLY I CAN SEEN IS MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS GOOD LAKE BOYS AND GERL

Everytime y'all get stuck y use the winch ? Y not yankem and save time?

🦅🇵🇬

Welding rods angle grinder and a few pieces of rio bar go a LONG way if something is really stuffed

Love from🇵🇰🇵🇰❤❤

far out you guy destroy tracks and leave so much shit behind yas its not funny

Land anchor

When everyone getting ready for thos times people that met me and are meeting me Thur people 🫡good times are coming world wide and flyers going out

😂 you need Jeep gladiator

Great show if only one guy would shut his mouth and stop thinking this was all about him. Turned the sound down so i did not have to listen to him. You would know who you are.

Lol, DPF in that, We care more than Greenies do! Jeez they're 🤡

What a Bloody beautiful country we have

What car does Shaun have

You Guys are Legions, I have seen a few of your shows now, it reminds me of stories a mate would tell me all the time, Willem Kempin,RIP, I can now see some of the places you talked about.

Shaun and Graham yes. Don't forget the show stopper,,jocko!

It could be a lose wire in the ignition or the ignition part worn out

Could you not take of like 2 leafs from the springs so the u bolt could make it?

What are these poles on the hood for? Seen these often and don't have a clue. Help a Noob here?

Wild guess: Get branches and stuff out of the windowheight?

For the starter: I think its prone to sit tooth on tooth with the flywheel. maybe rocking it back and forth while in park solves the issue.

I love your video and I need your help in getting a fish.

Yeah graham?🎉

Ronna used his right foot on the throttle, the rest of you had your foot on the brake

That 1 hour video was quick.

Too bad the carforcancer is only for Australians
Tried to donate to get in the draw but can’t coz I’m from Fiji

Lol

The starter probably needs new copper washers or plates that sit inside the actual starter motor. Could be wiring

mabye your altenator

It's the laugh for me 😂😂😂 at 10 :45 and continued

check the battry

Good trips boys enjoy this video, best camera👍💯

Make sure engine block is earthed properly

I hear the Australian government is trying to crack down on 4 x 4 riding, is that true?

what cars are you using

You guys are the craziest....so much fun

i dont even drive to work anymore i just winch, i payed for it im using it LOL

Good fix you can only do so much

Whatever happened to roothy and 4 wheel drive shows?

Started is getting too hot and wont work. Once cooled down it works.

I would love to go out exploring with you guys, but unfortunately I can't afford much even with my full-time job

Sounds like ignition switch is half engaging half of the time or not a very good wire connection
