That sounds like a mistake. You don't want to feed power into both of those wires, just the one that goes to the transmission, not to the tcu one.

No worries GQtdauto, I just know how expensive these autos can get if things go wrong with them.

I bought a Flamethrower and couldn't make it work. Got a mechanic to tune it after that and he said throw the new one away and keep using the original Bosch one. He reckons they're the only ones...
It was a lot easier than I expected. I drilled two holes in the front of it, blew out the old oil (which was like thick dark honey), and put 40ml of 30,000 grade silicone oil into it with a syringe....
Our LPG tank is crossways under the back where the original petrol tank was CPOCSM.

It's a bit slow to fill with ULP on some bowsers,...
Wow, almost 2 years since I updated this thread. Most of that time I've just been driving the GQ.
About 6 months ago I bought a wreck for spares. It's got a really bad body, but a good engine, and...
Thanks. I still think of it as being more Chaz's than mine. It wouldn't have been anywhere near as good without his help.
I think the WAT one is a lot simpler, but lacks the protection of not...
If you wanted to keep it locked up at the lights, you'd hold the switch down while you brake. In general, the momentary is for activating the lock.
It needs to reach from the brake light switch...
Thanks Acko.
No, it stays locked until you use the brakes or manually switch it off. For steep decents you need to hold the momentary switch down while you brake. Because of this, positioning...
Our Trol had one like that when we bought it :tease:
Since then I added a flat one and piggybacked it off the round one, then screwed it onto the bottom of the step.
A word of warning to...
I'll remember that next time you lose a heap of my photos :1087: :tease:
In the end it all worked. Here's the bracket in place.

Here's the relay box screwed to the bracket, and the blue cable across the middle of the picture is the heat shrink with the three...
There's lots of info for GU manual torque converter lock ups, but I haven't seen a step by step write up for a GQ here, so I thought I'd share mine, and knowing that some of the earlier members of...
I've written up the story at the end of my old thread here, but I'm happy to give more details if you want them.
Anyone rewired a rev sensor in a GQ automatic?
It went to a solenoid on the...
Well I never got to test if my rewiring of the rev sensor worked, because it turned out the box had other massive problems.
I hope the saga of our automatic is finally over.
I'll share the...
That's sort of what I saw with ours. They have a ridge across them with a flat patch on both sides of it.
The reground one has a smooth curve across the face of it. I'm guessing that curve would...
Not sure about a lot of that, but I know our rockers need regrinding.
I thought they were OK until I had to get one done, and then I compared it to the others and realised they all need doing.
...
Thanks guys. Gotta go to the wreckers tomorrow to find another steering wheel, and this thread had just what I needed to know.
Well today was a fun day. I took the transfer case out (and didn't die :-)
Broke one of my spanners before I even got the first tail shaft off, so I wasn't sure how the rest of it was going to go....
I've started on my wiring projects for our Trol, and thought I'd write them up in case anyone is interested in doing the same.
Did this job first because I thought it would be quick and easy.

I only know a little bit about fuel gauges, and having it work backwards doesn't mean anything to me.
Not sure if this is safe with an EFI model, so user beware.
You might be able to isolate...
I'll get some photos next time I have the door trim off.
It's not just the motors which are aftermarket, the original regulators have been chucked away and replaced.
There's a vertical channel...
That's an awesome site Ross.
I just discovered Drifta kitchens. Unreal.

Here's a slide on, fold out, pop top :-)...
Still can't find the one I saw before. These may give you some ideas.
Some of this looks great.

DX Grunt has an ex-Telstra pod canopy with some gear in it.
