Oh... Just realized...

Thanks for that - sometimes you just can't see past your own stupid mistakes!

Set it on DC and all is sweet as...

Just a tad embarrassed now :)

yeah I'll check it on another multi tomorrow I think

Ok - just checked the wife's battery and its chucking out 24v also - so it has to be a dodgy multi... you'd think...

but the wife's car did also activate a solenoid valve so the puzzle isn't over...

Nope...

Gonna see my sparky sometime this week as I think he's curious too

Thanks folks - still stumped...
Checked the multimeter on another battery and it seems ok...

Need to check it on the wife's car when she gets home.

Spoke to local auto sparky who tells me...

yeah I'm thinking I might try that - it is bizarre

G'day - I've just spent an hour rigging up an anderson on the plug on the GU. Got it all completed and did a check of the voltage at the plug and it was 25v...

So I went and checked at the battery...

13.7 with no trailer or 20 with a trailer...

I'd be stoked

You did right WogsRus.

It is no big deal to keep a confidence as your brother asked and your wife's response is unfair.

Your wife's response very likely comes from feeling insecure about where...

There is one on either side - easy to find when you know what you are looking for , but took me a bit of poking with wire to figure out which was which

Thanks - managed to sort it!

Thanks fellas

Is the MAF sensor easy to clean? Don't want to screw something else up!

Towing with I overdrive off for the most part - it feels 'stronger', but I guess it could be thirstier

Hi Fellas

I have had a 2007 GU 3.0 TD for a couple of months now and it goes great, but seems to really suck the juice when towing.

I've tested it a few times and around town towing about a...

Sounds like you've got the skills to pick up work which is always the challenge on a 'working holiday'.

We did 6 mths non-working and I'd do it again a heartbeat. You can live cheap on the road...

My GQ did this - felt like a grinding as I took off at slow speeds. I was guessing driveline...

I worried about it for a while but never did end up finding it!

Sounds about the right price to me too

Welcome Ahmed - let us know how you enjoy the patrol

Yep daily driver / work car. Bloody expensive though with a trailer in tow - getting around 20/100 which seems pretty ordinary around the city... 500kms/wk so it adds up...

Welcome mate - I've found this a great network of people willing (and able) to help

For a car that aint cheap you'd think they would get that stuff right hey

i don't know whose idea it was to replace the vinyl/plastic trim with the silver stuff in the GU's but its a shocker for fade/chip and scratching.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

Great job - lots of time invested there.

Easy fix and all good! We had a similar problem for ages and tried various fixes. In the end it was a change of tyres that made the difference. Our Kuhmos had 80 000 on them and looked good for...
