Thanks Dom14, Thought I would attract the attention of those in the know! Shall try a new post.

Hi guys n gals, this is my problem with my 1998 RD28. Before I take the rocker cover off, does anyone know what the story is with the engine setting to put the cover back on? It has a 'vacuum pump?'...

Thanks to Nissannewby and the info in this thread, Thelma is on the road again. Very Happy.

Thelma is sorted. Thanks to the info in this thread. Very happy.

Thanks, I ordered the one Nissannewby found, only $203. Nissan wanted $430.

Thanks Mudski, have asked around on the north side, none wrecking atm. They get picked up pretty quick. Waiting to hear back from Nissannewby, says he has one.

Hi Nissannewby,
The offending valve...

Hi all, my 06 3L GU wagon developed a problem when I tried to tow a heavy caravan. The rear brakes locked up. After going through the obvious check list it was decided that the proportioning valve...

A car on its own stands a less chance of using the 'can't safely stop' defense than a truck or a car and trailer. I know how often I tow my trailer through an amber light but I never speed up to...

Use the nut in the center of the tension pully arm, not the nut that bolts it to the engine. It is a different size. Put tension on it and hold it for a few seconds and wait for the tensioner to...

When you remove the sensor don't touch the surface with your fingers, body oil will make it tell lies to the computer, AND you can buy MAF Sensor cleaner in a spray can from most Auto shops,...

While on the subject of wipers, my front wiper water pump wont work. Rear one is fine. Any ideas? No I haven't looked at the destruction man-ual.

Bigcol I finally agreed to get my head read, yes I am fit and well but the marbles between my ears are not so great. Thelma is my everything at present but I have conceded I need help. So where...

Ever the optimist Roofy. I look forward to seeing her clock zero.

I have done it, called RACQ, and the dude couldn't do it but he had the wire and the woopy bags so while he was reading his man-ual I did it...

Just adding my 5c worth, it only works when in neutral.

Have no idea if Thelma was ever rust proofed, original owner was a coal mine, then a supervisor bought her... I bought her off him.

Because she was FULL of coal dust I hosed and hosed every...

Hi all, been a tadd busy with life. So here is a quick update. Thelma is presently in the shed with the gearbox on the floor, the clutch bearing froze about the same time the alternator pully sh1t...

G'day from QLD. Use to live in the NT. Have kids in WA. I like to get around. Don't be shy in showing off pics of some of the awesome 4x4 tracks you find in the NT. I'd love to see how the place...

Am thinking you had more than a MAF problem. I may be wrong. I often clean my MAF sensor as I work on dirt roads a lot. Can generally feel the lack of power in acceleration between 2nd and third gear...
