hi, could anyone tell me where the oil pressure sender is located on the SD33 engine?
Thanks
ok, I managed to find it, thank you. It was on the outside of the leg, covered with lots of paint. Fortunately it also matches with the compliance plate VIN number!
ah, it's on the outside of the leg, hence the dotted line in the diagram, I was looking on the inside. Yep, there's lots of paint in that area, will have a scrub tonight. cheers.
hi,
I'm struggling to find the chassis number stamped on the chassis of my 81 MQ SWB. The service book says it's either on top of the drivers chassis leg, behind the front wheel, or on the inside of...
thanks for the info again MQ mad, just trying to gather as much as possible so going in armed is better than clueless. All I can do is get the obvious bits done, then take it in for a trial run and...
thanks guys. I found this on the Vicroads website:

yeah, I can understand things that need to be fixed, but I've read stuff saying they'll find things for the sake of it, like a stained patch from topping up the oil or from greaseable joints or a bit...
hi,
I'm after the above with no tears (for roadworthy), please pm me. Preferably around Melbourne/west, but can travel.
Thanks
hi,
can anyone recommend a garage for a roadworthy in the west of Melbourne, one who is knowledgeable about 4x4s and doesn't tend to pick on every tiny thing or just tries to make money?
Any tips...
Thanks for all your comments, all comments and advice are welcome.
Spent the last couple of evenings removing the rubber wheel arch extenders and all the checker plating to see what lies beneath,...
add another one to the list, currently being restored to get it back on the road.
.....would look good in matt black?!!!
Thanks guys,
the initial plans so far are;
1) remove all the mud from body/chassis/wheel arches - done about 3/4 of this so far and I'm amazed how good the chassis, outriggers and bodywork are...
A few details;
it's a 1981 3.3 turbo diesel, 5 speed manual, front and rear detroit lockers, rock crawler low range gear box, 12000lb winch, cargo barrier, lots of spares including an intercooler...
hi, hope this is the correct section for this.
Having just bought a Patrol MQ, I thought I'd start a restoration thread as I intend to do some work on it to get it back on the road and I reckon...
thanks all, not sure how much work it will need until I start diggin', so not quite the dream yet! LOL. Will post some pics when I get it.
....just paid the deposit and the guy's going to drive it over to me on Sunday.
It's got everything I'd want in a 4x4, but is a bit rough so will need a bit of work to get it road worthied. Got it...
thanks for the advice, looks like I'm going to need it as I've just bought the MQ!!
hi, thanks for the fast reply, glad to be back and hope to be permanently if I get another Patrol!! I quite like the SWB MQ's, nice and simple!
Seems like I might as well take the body lift off if...
hi,
not been on for a while since I lost my GQ, but I'm now looking at an MQ tonight, mainly for off roading. It's got no RWC, so need to see what needs doing. It's got a 3" body lift and I was...
LOL, it was offered, but I never asked the price. Haven't got the time and space at the moment. It went to pickles auction (complete with mud), so hopefully someone's got a bargain!
hi,
after my recent accident in the Patrol I'm pleased to say Just Car insurance paid my agreed value within 5 days of making the claim. Very pleased with that service. Only thing I would say be...
thanks again, good point about the pics, will take loads tonight and tomorrow.
thanks all, I spoke with the insurance yesterday, they seemed sceptical it could be economically repaired, so they are sending someone to look at it tomorrow and potentially tow it away. I'm nervous...
hi,
I had an unfortunate incident driving back from a holiday in Port Campbell yesterday. I was going down one of those roads which is tarmac down the middle, a single lane wide and gravel/soft...
