I've been checking out what else it needs. Apart from the auto, needs a new exhaust, and new tyres (also a battery). The old tyres were down on tread anyway, but sitting in the garage for a few years...

After however many years of dormancy since my last post, I have decided to dust the thing off, remove all of the stored car parts I have inside of it, and have another go at getting this thing back...
I have decided to resurrect this lost cause/money pit, because some people never learn.
Yeah I guess so. I have had time to calm down a little since then, and now have fewer distractions and responsibilities. I doubt whether I'll get right into doing too much about it myself, apart from...
Hi guys. I haven't posted in some time on this forum as I had run into some problems with my auto a while back. I eventually got sick of wasting time, effort and money on getting nowhere fixing the...
....or any similar size key in my case.
It didn't work when I purchased the vehicle, and just kept getting in the way when I was working on other stuff. Much more room in the engine bay without it all in there and it can always go back in...
Just got my old one back from the auto parts store - they couldn't get onto a new one, told me I'll probably have to go genuine. Just gonna try to make one myself...
What did you end up doing? I have a 4.2, not a 4.5, but I'm having the same issue at the moment. Old gasket was in a few pieces so I taped it together so I had something to show.
Auto store is...
Wow, sounds like they must litter the streets of Northern Canada - like Holden Camira's and XF Falcon's used to here...(jks)
Yeah, I give up speculating on what caused it. If it isn't totally stuffed now, it's only a matter of time until it gets there.
I took my trans oil cooler off yesterday (still in really good nick...
I do see where you're coming from Toddie, but my GQ auto did last for 6 years after I bought it (although I didn't use it for 5 of those), and I paid less than $3000 for the whole vehicle, so I'm not...
I notice you have no bar on the front or side steps. Is removing them a common thing that Patrol owners do, or is it an off-roading thing? I'm a bit of a dunce...
No way! I wouldn't/couldn't do it myself. I don't have the patience or the knowledge. I haven't decided what to do yet. Luckily, I have an EK Holden that I can use (although it's on restricted rego,...
well, been having a look online and may just buy a decent GQ that's had the work done. I don't want to spend big bucks, but if it's likely to cost $3000 minimum for a transmission rebuild I may as...
There's a 1990 GQ with a manual box at the wreckers down the road for $1500, complete and running - might have to check if the box is ok and convert to manual.
Probably too late...lost reverse gear tonight. Looks like it's stuffed. (sigh)
Can someone please send me a link for a GQ? Preferably with easy to understand instructions.
Also, beside cost, what is better about the DIY method? Are the switches you can buy online any...
"HOT" written on one side and "Cold" written on the other side - as you describe.
have been considering it
My engine oil dipstick has only the letters - F for full (or H - high? only an hour ago I checked & forgot already) and L for low
gonna try the 330 ohm resistor fix before I do anything else
it's plugged and in storage for now....got bigger fish to fry before I get to 'wants'
Just posted this on another thread, may as well update here as well.....
Bought a new Bosch GT40r coil and fitted it.
I had my TPS off today, gave it a good soaking in WD40 (sprayed in every gap...
