Just noticed that post by 3 doggies...Tows with OD on as he can feel it's light load. Great stuff, he's feeling the load and driving accordingly...Like a horse in the old days, they know when they...

If ya towing I would ensure that your simple things are taken care of first. Ensure that your radiator cap is serviceable, towing with a compromised cooling system is probably a major killer of any...

Maybe someone could set up a Go Fund Me for him. It's at: www.gofundme.com In any case I'm good for fifty bucks. Just let me know the bank details. Good luck Roofy...

Noted 3dogs...took my troll for a highway run today. Ran great but noticed the water temp was up to 95 in stead of the usual 80 centigrade. Not noticeable on the car temp gauge but noted in my temp...

Well been using the car a bit now and it's still running beautifully with the blocker in. Will leave it and see how it goes as is for a while. If anything perhaps a tiny loss of boost btwn 80 and 110...

That's as clever as clogs that is 3dogs...

Thanxs again people. Good advice all round. Gunna watch and shoot for the next month. Also gonna monitor fuel consumption rates. After about 80kph the extra go pedal is noticeable, but not alarming....

Lemo and Rock Trol you make very valid points. I just went for another run and I believe it perceptible that I have lost boost and had to put the loud pedal further down to the floor as a result of...

What...the new heads are Craft Handed In Northern Australia. Or as I prefer to call it...Made in CHINA...hehehehe

Yeah will get around to that Daveyboy. Bit warm here at the moment though. I just...

ROFL 3Dogs...I remember that old one. Best axe he ever had. Only had three new heads and three new handles. Big chuckles...

Cheers mate...

Three dogs, no EGT gauges or Dawes fitted. Don't want them. Happy with the ecu boost control. If I have to watch an EGT gauge I don't want to drive the thing. Only interested in stopping oil mist...

BTW. Do not have EGT gauges so cannot know for that. Agree with the crud peace of mind bit jack180! Interesting to see if I notice the used oil condition as I change mine every 10k. Also recently...

Thanxs for that guys. It is the ZD30, 2004, Auto.

Fitted a stainless steel egr blocking plate today.

Initial impressions. Absolutely no difference whatsoever, which is surprising as I expected something! Loss of power, gain of power, different...

I use contact cleaner on the maf every oil change, only because it's half the price of MAF cleaner. It's probably the same thing and is safe to use on all electronics and switches in your vehicle...

TP

Doesn't sound like you have any symptoms of a blown engine. Try the simple test before spending mega bucks. Buy a can of ether ie: Start Ya Bastard, and have someone crank it over while you...

Rofl....yeah mate, well to tell the truth my missus just bought a new iron, and so I pinched the new one!
But they do wash up okay with soap...otherwise fuel in a hot iron could cause a complete...

Cheers mate. Not sure about those CRD models as the filter changed and it has a couple more lines coming out of it, and is a lot more expensive. So maybe a CRD owner here can give you tips. I always...

Thanks Rumcajs for the tips. I would imagine that the boss ring seal is now redundant due to the seal being self contained on the filter itself. The seal was probably envisaged as being necessary...

Hi Guys,

Just uploaded my first YouTube video of how to change out the fuel filter on my 2004 Patrol and have the thing start after changing it out. I had a lot of dramas with this the first few...

You might wanna treat your fuel with bug killer. The jelly gunk caused my filter to clog completely and stopped the car, so a new filter without treating the fuel may cause you dramas in the next...

Nothing to see here...They are great figures...I don't get those figures and I drive moderately. You're doing something right!

Hey mate I got a 2004 3 L Auto and I get 12's around town and 11's to 12's on highway. These are pretty standard figures for 2.4 tonnes of weight. Slow down a bit to say a 100 to 105 kph and you'll...

Your fuel economy is about right. It’s a simple matter of physics – 2.5 tonne car towing a laden trailer, you are going to burn extra fuel. 3 - 4 litres per 100 penalty is about right when towing...

Gaddy, that is amazing. Just what I'm on about, scary for me because I just bought a new boat, but my boat tank is sealed and fitted so I can't get at it to clean it, so I intend to use Fuel Doctor...
