Thanks MB for your reply.
I'll ask the mechanic to change the injectors and hopefully that may fix the problem. Im just hoping that the oil leaking isn't a sign of anything too bad. It's an old...

Hi,
I have been researching on this forum for people who have experienced the same issues as me with there 2.8 patrols but I can't quite find what I'm looking for.

Hi.
I know there is a few posts on LS1 engine conversions but I'm still trying to find out some more information.
I have a 99 GU 2.8L TD Patrol which I'm looking to put an LS1 in next year.
If...
Hi I hope someone might be able to help clear this up for me.
I have a 2.8TD 99 GU Patrol which in about a years time (after my wedding) I will be looking to put an LS1 engine in it. I have been...
Oh rite. That's not good. I didn't think leaking fluid was going to be a cheap fix. I guess around the 300,000 km mark things are going to be wearing.
Thanks very much for your reply.
Thanks Mudski. Do you think this would be an expensive fix?
Hi, I have a 2.8TD 99 Patrol.
I'm starting to have a few little niggly problems at the moment with the patrol.
The clutch is starting to make a squeaky noise when pushed in. I just went under...
Hi Fish-Sparky. I Have a 99 GU 2.8 Patrol that has just started making this squelchy noise to. I was hoping it was just a case of spraying some WD40 somewhere underneath.
Did you find the problem...
Oh right. We have only just moved here from Alice Springs and we did do a few trips on corrugated roads down there. We have been planning a few trips for the dry season so it's good to get these...
Great thanks, I'll disconnect the lead at the solenoid till I get a new system.
Thanks EvilTwin. That's very helpful. I'll go and look at an updated system as suggested. I've taken the battery out and have it in a safe place till I ditch it.
Thanks very much Threedogs. I'll have a look at that new system. One more question, is it ok to drive around with the 2nd battery removed or do I need to d/c something?
Threedogs I'm not sure on the brand as it was on the patrol when I bought it. I've attached a picture of all I can really see that joins the batteries. It might be a little old looking.

I just tested the main battery. I've taken the 2nd battery out.
Battery before start= 13volts
Key turned to access= 12.6volts.
Start =10.5 volts
After start= 14.1 volts, then turning the...
Hi megatexture is funny you say as we were wondering why on that side of the car has spots of missing clear coat on the paint.
Thanks EvilTwin. I'm only learning still so it's great to have help from people on the forum.
Thanks KiwiAngler.
I have just had a good look and found the deep cycle battery was making a sizzling noise with some fluid on top. I have now taken it out. I'm hoping this might also be the...
Thanks 3 dogs. I'll check the charge rate now. If the alternator is over charging would I be up for a new alternator?
I only bought the battery a year ago from supercheap so that's a bit...
Oh right I didn't think of the A/C. I'm not sure how to check that.
Hi,
I was driving my patrol today and a smell like rotten egg was coming through the vents. I have a dual battery system. The normal starting battery has white on top of it. (It's also not starting...
Hi happygu. The screech only happens every now and then when driving. When I push down on the belts they do move abit so maybe they are to loose. I'll tighten the belts today and see if that was the...
Hi, I wasn't sure which category to put this under but hopefully someone might be able to help me.
I have a 1999 GU 2.8L TD Patrol.
Every now and then I hear a screech coming from the front...
Hi three dogs thanks for your reply.
Yeah I'm in Alice. I will go and see Tom at OP Lock.
Thanks again
I have just got a quote for the Mickey Thompson ATZ p3 in the 305/70/16 size at $475 each or the 285/75/16 size at $419 each.
Are these prices about normal for this tyre? I know it's a great AT...
Hey thanks for your reply. I didn't think about the sub tank. The new springs should straighten it up
