Just went through that with my 09 CRD. $85 to have it machined. ..

Thanks for the reply Yendor. Appreciate your taking the time. I seem to have sorted it. I'd already checked the brake fluid level, pads and handbrake switch. I think it was all to do with the...

Hi all in the patrol brains trust. Got a question regarding the handbrake light on my 09 GU 3.0 CRD....

I've just bought and installed an Engine Data Scan unit. Installed as per supplied...

09 CRD 180k with huge nads too.. :) blocked, gauged, and canned. No fluffy dice tho..

Ok so I have an 09 ZD30 crd. After reading this thread I think I should be ok to use Castrol GTX diesel 15W40. Got onto a20L drum for about $70. Conforms to API CH-4/SJ. Also says suitable for turbo...

Awesome replies guys, thanks very much.

I'm away at work at the moment so can't play with the car till Saturday.
Will have a bit of a fiddle then.
Still learning the new beast and looks like I...

Thanks Telstra,

Looks like a bit of fiddling is due :) Your specs are more what I'd be expecting...

I've got a Needle valve under the bonnet and I think a Dawes valve adjustment in the cabin....

Thanks Happy,

I'd expect similar performance to your CRD I would think. Do you 'feel' the turbo coming onto boost or do you have a smooth power delivery through that rev range ?
I'd be happier to...

Hi all,

Now I’ve had the new bus (09 GU) a couple of months I’m starting to learn how to drive it. Bit of a change from a GQ TB42E auto to the 3L turbo manual. These gear change things catch me...

OK I did it....

Now that the GQ has gone to a new home I've got myself a GU.....
It's already got a few mods, but no doubt I'll be finding more to add soon...
Couple of pics.....

The GQ is gone 😓...

Thanks guys. Graeme yours looks the goods, but a little too many $ than I want to spend.. :(

The one I looked at was not too bad. Exterior and mechanicals ok, interior a little bit sad, but...

Ok... Think I've found a good 08 ST. Body good. Interior good.
Anything I need to beware of or check out mechanically ?
Going for a test drive tommorow.

Cheers all.

Simon.

Ok so tommorow is decision day. New wheels or fix up mine.

If anyone is interested in a fixer - upperer please PM me.
Its got some front end damage.. all cosmetic. Shell is pretty good- no major...

Well they say keep your mouth shut and let people think you're an idiot rather than open it and remove all doubt :)
Or something like that anyways !

Cheers guys.
Still a fantastic forum..Wealth...

Yup... This is the go... :) I have the same model and I love the auto :) Looking at about $3k for an auto and converter reco if you pull it out and refit it yourself. Good time to replace the rear...

Thanks all great info :)

The hunt is on... Quite a variety out there.
How do the 3L ' s go for 'driveable power' ? I'll be towing a smallish camper trailer when on my trips..

Dare I say it,...

Is that for reading error codes ?

Unfortunately it did bugger all damage to it :(

Hi all,

Well it's that time again.... Car shopping time :)

Due to an unfortunate meeting with a landcruiser ute, my patrol has gone to the land of the dearly departed.. :(

So I'm thinking...

My six yr old calls my GQ 'the old clunker' ... He's not far wrong :)

Motorbike for kids/wife ?

Sounds like a fair swap to me :)

I can count to potato..

1 year down. First service done in Jan. Almost 18k on the clock and not a single problem :)
Went with the highlander as well. 2l turbo diesel leaves my GQ for dust...
No plans to take it off...

For those requiring feedback I never got round to doing it :(
Not leaking enough to worry about.. One day....
