Any updates?
Further update:
Had the pressure relief valve replaced and all seemed good. That is, until on a road trip to Busselton (about 200 km) - the Dynamic Vehicle Control (DVC) light on the dash...
Update to the fuel and starting problem.
Thanks MudRunnerTD, your suggestions helped us to nail down the fault. Initial diagnosis indicated a fuel pump fault and that the pump would need replacing...
I've now disconnected the second fuel filter and it's made no difference (unfortunately).
Does anyone know if there is some sort of non-return valve in the fuel lines (to maybe stop fuel running...
Hi All,
I am having a fuel problem on a 2014 Y61 CRD TD. Particularly after a cold night with a half full fuel tank the engine will not start. The fuel bleeder bulb feels full of air. Squeezing the...
Welcome to the Forum - enjoy!
Brings back really fond memories. I had a 1980 MQ SWB 3.3D, 4 speed manual, 24 volt. Bought it in 1990 with almost 200K on the clock and then took it all over Oz until I finally sold it in 2008 with...
Welcome to the forum. Lots of info here - just need lots of time to read it... :-)
Welcome to the forum mate. Always good to see more from over here in the west.
So please bear with me here (still trying to catch up on this discussion). Have I got this correct?
1. Exhaust Gas recirculation is bad for the engine?
2. Installing an EGR blocking plate will be...
Absolutely. You're correct, we are very quick to bag the problems (not to say there aren't a lot of them), but saying "well done" and then letting our community know where to get great support and...
Welcome Ralph. I'm sure there are heaps of people on here with a mountain of information. I've only just joined recently and it's fascinating what others know about Patrols. Enjoy.
So what's the rationale behind the continued pumping of the primer after the engine has started? Is it to get rid of any ore possible air bubbles in the lines?
Try putting a little graphite powder into the lock mechanism (never use oil as this just collects dirt and gums up the mechanism). Work it into the barrel by pulling the key in and out a few times....
It seems like Penrite has a good nod from most people. I used to use it in my old 1980 MQ 3.3 litre diesel - oil change every 5000 kms and oil filter every 10000kms. I sold it at 360,000+ kms still...
Interesting thread everyone. I've only ever had manuals (1980 MQ, 2008 GU CRD (written off in the 2010 hailstorm), and now a 2014 GU CRD) and have loved them all. However, I have wondered whether the...
Thanks everyone for helping here. At least I can now go the correct discussion groups and not make a total ass of myself.
Hi All,
I'm just a little confused, so can anyone clarify the model codes/numbers for the Patrols. What I want to know is:
1. What does the MQ/GQ/GU actually stand for?
2. Does the Y60/Y61/Y62...
Welcome. Would love to hear about your travels in that part of the world. And your mention of the MQ SD33 brought back such fond memories. I'll watch out for your posts.
Cheers

Welcome John,
Great to see another person from over this side of the country, and a diesel manual 4x4 Patrol owner as well!! We can share ideas and ask "dopey" questions together...
Cheers

Hi All,
I'm new to forums and have, in the past, been someone who trolls through posts just collecting background information (so I don't get into too much trouble out in the bush). However, this...
