Thanks for the replies. I will look into it when time allows.
The wheels were last balanced when tyres were put on. They are about 50 percent worn.

I ordered a RTT and it should be here next week.Not sure the outcome would have been the same with it on, but then again, things
feel worse than they are. I always trust my instincts and at the...
Can I ask, whether the wobble is a side to side movement? My patrol feels like the wheels are oscillating. More like an up or down movement.
Seems to happen on really uneven roads. I am thinking it...
I have owned my 2005 3.0 patrol for a few months now. I have been down some 4x4 tracks with it.
I have never had any issues , it is like a tractor, it just goes.
Yesterday, I went down a track I...
I have just purchased one. I know a bloke that has one, and he swears by it.
I am nearly as tall as you, and think you will be fine seated.
Once mine is mounted I will let you know how I got on.
I have a 2005 3.0 auto. Mine has now done 160 000 km. I bought it secondhand a few months ago.
So Far not much to report, it has been reliable, besides a dead battery. I would say go for it at that...
I experienced this with a diesel VW a few years back.
After much expense it turned out to be a blocked fuel filter.
Might be worth trying the cheaper things like this first.
You have me rather worried now. I have a 2005 3.0 Di. It has done 158 000km without any issues and not yet got around to doing any mods.
Catch can is number 1 on my list, just need to make some time...
Could be a slight blow from an exhaust gasket that seals when engine warms up.
Thank you for the swift replies.
The diagrams supplied are a great help Rumcajs
I was not planning on fitting a pressure gauge, but think it might be a good idea.
The list is growing rapidly, just...
Hi,
The oil light came on about a month ago. I stopped the vehicle, checked the oil, but all seemed fine.
Started and all was well until today. Had been driving for a bout an hour when the oil...
I have been searching for a RTT. There are so many to choose from.
Darche seem to come highly recommended, or are the cheaper ones on ebay just as good?
I plan to get the annexe too. Not sure where...

Loctite 243 is medium strength and should definitely do the job. It should prevent a loose nut from unwinding further too.
As for undoing the nuts, if you are using a torque wrench to tighten, you...
Possibly a damaged valve seat?
Nothing been dropped into the inlet manifold?
Welcome John, from the South west myself.
Apologies for the late response, work getting in the way.
Alternator seems fine, however I have not tested it. The old battery was bulging slightly on the one side which indicates bent plates-ie...
My patrol has been struggling to start and on Wednesday it finally refused to start at all.
Battery flat. So bought a new battery and all good.
However, the shifts have generally been a bit...
After driving for a week or so the steering started feeling sloppy again.
So went down the route of making tiny adjustments and driving it for a few days.
I can say it is the best it has been, and...
have always used Castrol in all my vehicles
Stock standard.
Only had it a month! I changed to Castrol as soon as I got it!
Car is a Di, 2005 with 157000 km on the clock
I will block the EGR once I have done the gauges.
So after seeing this, I think a catch can and gauges are a must, followed by the rest of the mods.
What would be the best gauges? there seem to be a few options, but which are best?

This if from inside the inlet manifold, there were even lumps in there.
It is not perfect and I could not get all the way in without removing it, but I hope I got most of the thick stuff...
