Just finished a quick oil change. 10 out, 10 in, 2 filters. Done. Now for a beer or 4.....
Just finish install of Fabwitz 3" induction sys (complete works) to my 08 Patrol CRD.
Airbox thru to throttle body (inlet manifold). To compliment current ECU remap (max boost 22psi) and scheduled install of stage 3 turbo (early May).
Made a bracket to secure my VNT solenoid off the Aux battery tray adjacent to the new air box.
Run manual boost control (dawes/needle). So when I installed new air box and pipework I removed VNT solenoind and the fault code P0045 (solenoid open curcuit) came up and got limp mode. After re-connecting the solenoid this removed P0045 fault and now no limp.
Installed the Icom UHF today, into the existing dash Pod - waiting for a DIN facia plate to arrive to finish it off, all hooked up. Also found the source of my RS radio transmissions - soldered joint on antenna coupling had come adrift - so sorted that out. Then tested out the radio using the other uhf in the truck, raised the roofrack antenna - all good, packed up, drove the truck into the garage and wiped out the brand new RFI 3dbi antenna - faaaark. There goes another $150 down the toilet for lack of attention.
Booked it in for new bearings and hubs so we can get to SA next week.

Both new pusher fans arrived this week, so spent the afternoon mounting them in front of the radiator. Bit of a mission, but the two fan now can push up to 3000CFM thru the radiator on demand, which i hope is enough to keep the temps down when doing 2000rpm at 1klm/hr up monster gnarly tracks in the heat. Now just have to set up the electrics and reinstall the grill and antennas etc. Thermos are additional to the mechanical fan that does a reasonable job up to rad temps of say 95 deg C , then its all over and temp just keeps rising. Topped out at 130 Deg c on the last trip simply because there was nowhere to stop on one track in particular - @MudRunnerTD's pinstripe applicator track I think its called!
Fitted the replacement RFI UHF antenna that I stupidly left up before driving into the garage, BUT, when changing over the antenna cable found the FME-UHF fitting broken, so unable to connect then test. Expensive little fitting by the looks of it compared to the straight out PL259 or equivalent.
Topped up both diesel tanks today....$199.40.
Can't complain. First time in 2 months.
Been testing out the missus' new car lately. lol.
