Hi. Just got them in a dual pod holder sitting on the dash. May do the pillar pod thing in the future. There is an access grommet down in the drivers side footwell which should enable you to run all...

Hi Crimpy.
I had a 2.8TD GU for about 5 years now. They are a quirky motor no doubt about that but once you work them out I think they are good motor. Yes, they are poor down low for torque. You...
Hi. Just thought I would post a follow up to assist any one searching with a similar problem. Got a reconditioned MAF on eBay for $100, installed in ten minutes and problem fixed. Boosting and...
Hi everyone.
I would be interested in views regarding my MAF sensor. It's a 2000 GU 2.8 TD.
I recently had the tappets adjusted, injectors reconditioned, and glow plugs replaced. Done 178,000...
The buzzer is dirt cheap to buy. I would replace that first as others have suggested (Jaycar sell them) and if that's not good go from there.
Thanks Mudski. Had heard some do and some don't. Cheers.
Hi. I have had the EGR blocked for a while and thought I should get to the butterfly removal. After a fair bit of searching around the net I have come across the suggestion to block the vacuum hose...
If you do decide to go the roof option Black Widow make a tyre strap which is a ratchet strap with three hooks. Works really well and quick. I have stuffed around with two separate straps in the past...
Peter, your sub tank question may be simply that each time you start up your Patrol the pump deposits a small amount of fuel from the sub to the main (I seem to remember this is spoken about...
No worries OLY. Hope all goes well.
Not sure about the MAF sensor unit-but you've got me thinking...
I would enquire with the web site as to compatibility for your vehicle and if it is okay to...
Hi. The web site has changed since I bought mine. Just had a look. Under the "important Information" (bottom left) there is a section called "How to Order". Got this from there:
1) Select the...
The sheets aren' t that great in my experience. My main gripe is they leach out a slime like substance which is not that pleasant on items in the ice box and causes you to drop your beers. The actual...
Yep it is. Jumping in to traffic can be a bit of a challenge being a 2.8. Not the fastest thing on the road but love it none the less.
If its a 2.8 I would say it's normal (without seeing it). Mine is and smoke is just part of what it does.
Hi. I own a 2000 2.8. Love it. Yes they could use a bit more get up and go but if you drive with the quirks of the motor in mind then there are no dramas. They love to rev. I have a diesel chip but...
Yeah we are in to it on and off. Actually is a good way yo break up a trip and get you to some spots you would have not bothered with or would have never known of. Did quite a few up NT and Darwin...
Hi. Just thought I would put it out there that Tigerz11 are having a sale this weekend (19/20 of Jan13) including FREE DELIVERY. Just ordered a 2 x 2.5 side awning delivered to SA for $159 all up....
Just got some new BFG's on the GU a fortnight ago and the dealer advised to check the wheel nuts after 24 hours even though I have steel rims. He reckons not such an issue on the steel rims but...
Hi. Yep we do it. Use it to break up longer trips, kids enjoy it, and it does get you to some spots that you may never bother with. We actually bought a dedicated Magellan GPS on Amazon but we have...
Just had a measure from the roof to the bottom of the rack. Mine sits 80 mm - 90 mm off the roof and little higher at the front due to the slope of the roof. I assume my mounts are genuine ARB as the...
Thanks Boofa sounds like that may be the way to go. Cheers.
Looks great. I am about to get around to doing rear lights a bit like yours and I have the same roof rack. Any hints on how you ran the cable in to the cab? Cheers.
Hi. My GU came with a full length ARB. I thought it may be over kill and wondered if something smaller would be better. Recently headed to the flinders and by the time I put a spare tyre and canvas...
Yeah mine is Safari one. I remember someone commented once as to it being small and i guess they were talking about how far down the guard it goes. I guess you would need the specific 2.8 one due to...
Yep thats a classic. I have a GU but just lately I am beginning to appreciate the rugged look of the GQ.
