Hello. Peter with an ex Telstra Patrol
Hi,
Travelling full time, bought 2000 Patrol from auction many years ago and have been pulling the caravan around Australia ever since. Just done 130,000kms since I bought it to give a total of 270,000kms. Do my own servicing by the side of the road.
Have had very few mechanical problems during this time.
I had the death wobbles at 80kmh and was searching the net for an answer and came across this forum and thought I would join.
Found the answer elsewhere by reducing the shims on the steering knuckle bearings which fixed it.
Another problem I had last year was, I thought, a flat battery which had been playing up. I was stuck by myself on top of Cape Range near Exmouth. Eventually getting a tow start from a passerby I removed the starter motor back at camp. The bearing had collapsed and wouldn't turn over. I drilled and ground a nut to a bush which replaced the bearing. A new starter from eBay arrived 2 weeks later, meanwhile the bush worked fine.
