They found a good home. Cheers

Hey guys I'm cleaning out my shed and hate throwing away stuff.

I have 1x standard length (non-braided) front brakeline (new) for a GQ and 3x glow plugs for an RD33 (new).

If anyone wants them...

Thanks for all the tips guys. I've driven on sand plenty of times before and I agree its low probability of getting bogged but I've recovered that many clowns in the Blue Mountains over the years I...

@Bloodyaussie I'm glad this helped you out!

@mudski if you go to Fraser keep an eye out for a silver SWB Pajero. A bogged one with no maxtrax...

Hey guys I'm looking for a loan of some Maxtrax in Sydney.

I'm doing a one-of trip to Fraser. I never drive on sand otherwise so don't want to buy and store Maxtrax so thought I'd see if anyone in...

For those in NSW this tool http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/ is well worth checking out. Overlays high res satellite imagery, Topo, roads etc. Take a minute to read the short instructions and anyone will...

How'd you go with this? If you cracked it open post pic's of the circuit board. All the other boards I've seen in my GQ are really easy to diagnose problems and work on.

Thanks all. Yeah I try to keep it clean - thanks for noticing!

The leak shown is very localised - coming from one small spot in the seal round the middle of the block. No idea how that would get...

Heading to a mechanic tomorrow but any advice whether to worry about this new oil leak? Has been damp for a few months but just got a bit worse.

Its also damp right round the left side sump...

When is it going over 550? Seen plenty of trucks including mine hit 600 pushing highway speeds up a long steep hill.

If its only brief periods and the temp drops back ot normal quickly I've been...

Yeah nice one Anchor - looking forward to hearing how it goes. Pics?

Hey mate what benefit did you get out of the new manifold / intercooler? Noticeable difference? How's the manifold different from stock?

I've done 2.5in straight thru mandrel bent exhaust...

My GQ is so smooth and quiet that without smoke I wouldn't be able to tell my truck is running!

Seriously though, anyone with a GQ 2.8 I've spent a bucket load chasing smoke issues (Inj pump...

Cheers guys, I've tested the whole system. Surprised to find out (checked with local car sparky) that the stage 2 relay is fine - the Gregorys has the test instructions arse about.
Anyway the root...

Hey all, sorry for slow reply, last few months of 2012 were forgettable.

Flo-w, nah I ran all cables through the rubber tube. Sticky tape the cable to the end of some coat hanger wire and...

No worries, let us know how you go with it.

I'm gonna try the relay solder anyway and after that it could be a solution like the manual switch or this ......

For anyone with a sunroof in a GQ this works really well. Small Uniden 80ch unit. Handset holder screwed into sunroof cover, unit fits in close to the map lights. Out of the way of water.
When not...

Mate thanks for this really useful post. I have the same truck / same issue with relay #2. I'll give your relay solder a go.

Hopefully you've found the glow control unit by now but if not it is on...

Hey guys, did anyone commit to buying this kit?

I'm interested because I can't find a replacement for the 2nd stage relay (Jideco Glow Relay 25230 22J01 MR8T-861 12V 50517) which is stuffed on my...

Shit - right - just turned into more than a backyard job! haha thanks Robo.

Thanks guys, all good advice. What about other engine areas that I'm going to expose with the manifolds off? I'm thinking I don't want to do this again for a while....

Hey all, any advice appreciated here.

I'm removing exhaust and intake manifolds to replace my turbo but will also do a carbon gunk cleanup.

Is there anything else I should do while I have the...

Thanks MQ - really useful advice. Taking the 4.2 for a spin in the bush on the weekend so I can see if all the hype is worth it over the 2.8!

Hey mate, yeah they are both SWB so all good there.

Yeah I'd already checked out your post - really helpful. A running gear swap is the other option, I guess I'm just interested to see what would be the easier approach? Making and welding plates etc...
