Finally got my pyro and oil pressure gauges setup, VDO. Had to get a t-piece made up in hydrolic shop but they looked after me. Fitted the oil sender near the starter motor, very hard to get to but...

I got a t-piece 1/8 NPT and couldn't get it started in the thread. Not sure if the wrong thread or maybee I can't get it square on to the hole. The starter motor bolt seems to be in the way. I am...

Fitted some aftermarket gauges and powered them from the cig lighter circuit. Anyway after I finished noticed the Scangauge II was apparently dead. Checked the plugs, all good. Read the scangauge...

Is your aftermarket oil pressure gauge giving you accurate readings?? Double check them with a mechanical oil pressure test gauge to confirm whats going on first. I am in the process of ordering a...

Also turbos leak oil from the oil feed line area or rear seal at the back or below the turbo. The photo of your turbo is just pushing the oil vapour through it. Its not actually leaking oil. Check...

Take off the hose and clean it properly. Re-fit and make sure it is tight. (check the pipe is not split or damaged) You need to fit a catch can to filter out the oil vapour that is coming from the...

Thanks Barrbeast from Scotland. Just had a look at both sender units. It could be done from either sender unit. The one near the oil filter is a bit easier to get to but then the turbo is right next...

OK thanks ,I will have to check out the pressure range of any potential gauges. Hope the rebuild goes well. Was the turbo OK after the piston damage?
Cheers basil.

Thank you GeeYouCRD. T-piece great idea. (i was wondering if that would upset things ...can't just disconnect the factory oil press light hey) anyway I will set one up to that sender unit near the...

Does anyone know much about fitting an aftermarket oil pressure guage to a 09 ZD30 ? I was reading another thread about the older DI engine and they apparently have 2 oil pressure sender units. Do...

I remember an old outback show Malcome Douglas I think. He said when you get stuck Step 1. Light Fire Step 2. Put the Billy on Step 3. Have a cup of tea and a good think about how to get out. ...

I have seen blokes use a snatch strap on a towball before. I said to them that you are not supposed to do that; it is not safe. The reply "she will be rite." They got the 4wd out OK but sometimes...

I have seen cooper tyres crack at low kms. Thats the start of delamination. I have heard of other similar stories also. If the warranty is voided for a 4WD tyre if you go offroad then to me thats...

cooper tyres delaminate often and go out of balance easily. BFGs are the go for sure. Bridgestone duellers and Toyo Tyres are good to. I have seen a 4wd with Kelly Safari tyres thats done about...

No worries thanks for reply.

I think with the land cruisers the wheel bearings are re-packed every 40,000km. I think the patrol would be a similar interval. It will be stated in your service book how often to repack bearings....

Anyone know where to get a egr blank plate for a 09 CRD Patrol ?

My patrol had a vibration at 80km and was ok at 100-110 km. I just balanced the front wheels today and it fixed the problem. Also check for a crook tyre bubble or out of round tyre. You will have to...

OK, I set up the scanguage II and my CRD patrol 08 is a diesel A, according to the procedure. So I have answered my own question. I still don't know what diesel B setting is for. Maybee its a Direct...

Funny you should say that, That is that ARB salesman reckons that lovel springs are crap. I spoke to a bloke who has a suspension business and he reckons that ARB are crap and only sells Lovell...

Scanguage II .........diesel a OR diesel b setting ? for 3L CRD ?
Anyone know what diesel a or diesel b means when setting up a Scanguage II ? (there is a procedure to follow to find out but....)...

Will do. Thanks for the help. I will check out that one.

Thanks for the huge input. That's a big help. I can't see the point of fitting a traditional boost guage when the Scanguage II will do the job good enough for what I need. I will order one soon. I am...

Hi again, I finally found the intro section. Thanks for the reply. Been reading heaps of info, good stuff. I have recently upgraded my 4wd to 09 patrol tray.Previously had 1986 2.4 hilux , so its...

Yeah no worries. How the hell do I get to the intros?
