Forgot to mention a little spray of inox in the dizzy cap and on all the connectors might help.

The issue with the starter is it won't crank without some heavy Juice. If the batterys not charging there's no juice(prob alty), check for loose terminal connections on the back of the alty,starter...

That's the thing my bay is spotless. The brackets from the power steering pump to the block (and an earth) are obstructing the two only possible places the oil could be coming from. I think what I...

G'day all, Just wondering if anyone can help? Got an mk 84 L28. Just the other week my 12 month old alty crapped it, turns out there was oil dripping on it. So I chased the leak, up around the power...

G'day Tom,
Anything you could possibly want to know about patrols is right here mate, there's a few guru's around. Enjoy

Have you done a pressure test, first degrease and clean the power steering unit and everything around it. Turn on engine 'go hard' oppisite lock and grind the shit out of it, left and right a couple...

Don't forget the salt water corrosion, just being in the proximity of the beach is enough to kick off the rust. keep the chrome shiny fella's.

It's 50/50 really, sometimes the starter will just crap it and somtimes you can nurse it for awhile. If you are able to nurse the starter, not always but more than likely it'll be something else...

Yeah your right it's pretty banana's when that stuff happens. Thats why tunnel vision is shit. Sometimes u gotta think around the issue. One thing i learnt from working on all kinds of machinary from...

G'day, Welcome mate any questions about your ride ask away. There's some real educated guys around the forum that know there stuff inside out back the front upside down.

Have similar issues myself on the mk l28, did you end up going the gasket kit or the 2nd hand unit? I'm leaning towards replacing the whole unit, i think?

I have a 4spd mk l28 it was the last 4spd built before the switch too 5spds. Only about 4 months between the last 4spd and a 5spd upgrade on the mk, can get a little confusing.

G'day Reggie, Welcome mate any questions about your ride ask away. There's some real educated guys around the forum that know there stuff inside out back the front upside down or whatever.

Hi all, Just incase anyone wanted to know the power steering unit/pump was leaking from the high pressure hose witch was dripping on the alty and over time killed it. Easy fix.

Ahhh yeah i remember someone telling me that now'. think i'm in too deep here, i'll have to see an auto lecky. Thanks any way guys.

Welcome mate'
Pretty sure your gonna have a couple issues matching the box to the motor. Have a look around the forum there's heaps of info around on that sort of thing.

My uncle who's been a mechanic for 30 odd years installed the new alty, so i'm just assuming it's the right size. Do you know what the correct size should be? I'll check it.

Even under revs it's still reading 12.3v. I'm hoping it's the alty that'll be an easy fix.

Cheers' mate, tank of fuel $70, mk 84 swb $2000, memorys priceless.

Cheers mate' will do with them pics.

Nah mate' Its not even close to 2 14v its at 12.3v from batt. with moter running. So it's dropping .2v with the alty running, any idea's mate' would be much appreciated cheers'

Cheers' for the welcome. Just wondering if anyone knows why my batterrys not charging and my chg light is on hard. Got an 84 L28 mk and just replaced the alty last year to hitachi with built in reg....
