Rebirth of Khyber 1996 - Daniyal

thats exactly what i was thinking too.

Go for 175/70R13 which are available in Yokohama, Dunlop and Bridgestone easily.
On upper sise, Continental is also readily available in this profile.
13 Rims are available in market due to old shaped Cultus.

If you are opting 14 Rim size like jdm cars or bew Cultus then go for 165/65R14

I think 175/70/r13 woukd be very wide for khyber I guess , i have it on my margalla,

[brownrose78]

Not so much. First used it in my Cultus then same on Khyber.
Jeda Gaddi Pind wich jam k na chaley Tay Mazaa Kee aay?

Ok guys. So I have driven it almost 20kms for windshield, etc and noticed that it is reducing water. So far almost 0.5 - 0.75 ltr has reduced.

What to do next?

[hassankhan03]

yu driving without windshield? and 20 kms ma 700 ml , bro that's alot. i think the reservoir itself is about 600ml.

[miqdadkanani]

Found a leakage.

[miqdadkanani]

Windshield was attcahed but not fixed properly. Got it done today evening.

Also, it's apparently heating up a lot despite direct fan.

[hassankhan03]

Oh ok , please keep an eye on that guage.

[miqdadkanani]

I went to Irshad in the evening and told him about the heat up issue. He checked and said k "pressure nhi hai koi masla nhi hai" . But I have a feeling that its still heating up a lot. Will check the actual temperature with the meter in the morning.

[miqdadkanani]

Yat gauge ka hi tou masla hai. Meter not installed yet. Electrician will take up the task on Monday.

[hassankhan03]

What does he main by pressure nahi araha ? did he squeeze the upper radiator hose/

[Xulfiqar]

See that metal pipe where the hose attaches to?

It needs to be renewed if your system was corroded internally, the clamps wont tighten if its weak.

[Xulfiqar]

How are you checking temperature? Hands? Face?

[miqdadkanani]

Pipes are all new. Bought 3 weeks ago

[miqdadkanani]

Hands, for now.
I had that multi-meter capable of measuring temperature as well but returned it assuming everything was fine. It recorded temperature between 40-50 decgree cent. After the car remained on idle position for 20 mins.

Will borrow it again in the morning and get more precised reading.
Btw, what should be the ambient Temp? Between 80 and 85?

[miqdadkanani]

Yup. He squeezed and checked the radiator pipes

[miqdadkanani]

Even the clamps are new

[miqdadkanani]

The metal pipe is in dark green if you zoom in. The rust thing you see is the bottom support of the chassis since the car's engine room wasn't dented/painted.

[Xulfiqar]

Remove that hose clamp and hose and smear some hylomar on the pipe nipple,

Then use a tiny socket and ratchet to torque that clamp, hylomar will seal any imperfection, do not over tighten the clamp as it can bite into the rubber and cause a leak.
