Sorry guys been away for a bit, have had some work done recently so the Patrol is running like new at the moment.

How about buying a second hand car and the fella claims he put in a new clutch (No receipt) at first I didnt notice the weird colour clutch fluid. later I noticed it was red, transmission fluid... So...
Yeah mate I've had a mechanic look at mine and its not the choke, which works perfectly fine rather its carby problems for me.
Previous owner I bought the car from hadn't connected the carby and...
just a quick bump,

Spot on mate, so is the accent ;)
Amen to that,
I've got my carby and tappets sorted and have noticed some more km's but I could be imagining it... I noticed a big diff putting more air in the tyres though...
pretty interesting indeed, they are poms though. the guy that walks in and puts his foot down behind the wheels is definately not a yank, which you can tell by the beret.
They are wearing us jungle...
I did this quick check when the engine was moderately cold, I'll give it a quick check in the morning. I've got a feeling its permanently stuck in the half open position regardless of the...

Hey tony,
given it a once over like you said mate, everything is connected up properly, the carby and all lines up the way it should be (had this checked out by a mechanic)
However the butterfly...
Yeah mate i always give the throttle a little kick when i turn the ignition, heard that little nugget of info before, cheers tony

Take off the air filter housing and you can see if the "butterfly" is stuck open or closed.
Will wait for...
Hi guys,
Some help needed, every time I start the engine in the morning it really doesn't enjoy the cold start. Revs will be really low and struggling not to stall, it'll run at say 200 revs or...

About your coolant system, no idea mate maybe hang around until Tony can give you an answer he'll sort you out...
Thanks guys, I love that machine!
Aside from getting LPG installed asap (to make this thing affordable to drive hehe)
I want to get some more lights & HID's on it, New extractors & exhaust...
Sick wheels mate, like the black!
After introducing myself I thought it'd be fair to share some photo's with you guys.
Was up at Stockton beach today (just around the corner) and had a blast, no effort whatsoever!

Don't know where you are mate but in the service manual they state that Australian Patrols can run a 20w/40 or 20w/50 in hot temperatures even. However Castrol & others state that a 10w/40 is...
Nice lights mate, just a bit of blue neon under the car and your done haha! :)
thanks fella's, the original would be worth its weight in gold by now! :)
Hey mate, I bought a patrol not too long ago myself and did some major maintenance on it too. If your looking for a shopping list this is what I've done along the lines of oil changes.
Engine oil...
So its safe to assume that if the engine doesn't make any extra rev's when pushing the A/C button the whole system is bust? (everything is where it should be)
Cheers Tony, very elaborate answer mate!
