You are so welcome mate .

Travelling in a Patrol @ 130 kph will never be efficient or any speed for that matter
slow it down take in the scenery and enjoy the ride.
When Im back on the road Ill be travelling with the OD off...

Very interesting post , again I learn something new thanks mate , we were pulling 2.750 tonne of caravan and did not know which gear to put it in or what speed to travel at , soon learned overdrive...

On the open road the biggest influence on economy is aerodynamics. Escecially on a wagon as you get a low pressure zone behind you which is trying to suck you back. Think of the turbulence behind a...

I would imagine you'd have to rev it high to keep it up at that speed constantly, so the fuel economy would suffer.
I reckon at those speeds and relatively higher revs for a diesel rig, 18L/100KM is...

90 - 95 Kph will give you the best economy.

Over 110 it starts to dive off the edge of the cliff.

Welcome to the forum and yes lucky you living in the Darwin area , our 2002 GU gets the best fuel figures when towing at 2800 rpm .
These things were not designed with your open speed limits in mind...

Scangauge mounted in the little compartment under dash. Fit perfectly.

Not sure it give you real time EGTs, but most other would be available.
Not sure where ppl mount them [Scan-Gauge] but my Ecu-Talk is mounted in front of the dash cluster
About the onlt things I...

you came across them a lot because they are the bottom of the market. I would run VDO. I have VDO in the GQ and they are great. I run Autometer in the GUIV and had nothing but trouble with them. As...

my understanding is they are a Plug and Play mate. they plug into the service port and give you a Heap of real time info on Boost, EGT, etc. I don't know much about them but i checked out the one in...

Stick with the known branded gauges. Steer clear of the cheap units. Autron, now Redarc, Autometer, VDO and McNally are my pick of the bunch in gauges, there will be a few other brands no doubt that...

as ET said in the other thread
you have a CRD - so a Scan Gauge would be better for you

have a look here, or go to scan Gauge them selves

had a mate with a 2012 90000km done the clutch. But dont worry about that LOL. Welcome.

You have a CRD so all you need is a Scangauge and an EGT
Scangauge (or similar) will pay for itself in fuel savings alone

Welcome to the forum mate.

First off I'd be checking the intercooler for signs of oil a sure sign its leaking.
and therefore not holding boost. A fully tigged change over IC would be the
way to go.
A Catch can is helpful as...

Hello and welcome to the forum , jump in and enjoy.
Drive it like you stole it and keep up the service intervals
These motors like to rev

Hi mate, I wont advise anything as I am not a dealer. I use genuine filters etc in all my vehicles and also Penrie oils and coolant etc. Just search this site for say "what oil" and you will get...

G'day mate and welcome to the forum. A 2009 with a CRD engine and only55K, should not have any issues at all. The earlier Di (like mine) 3ltr diesels had some problems and there are methods to assist...
