I see two issues with the video - firstly, the wheel nuts were not done up properly on the demonstration wheel - no effort whatsoever was required to undo them with the useless brace that comes with...

Yeah, I tried it on the cape trip with my Jackaroo petrol.

The metho didn't absorb the water in the fuel, as evidenced by bein able to drain water out of the bottom of the tank after treatment....

You can probably get a replacement carpet from a wrecker, or from a crowd like this http://www.knoxautocarpets.com.au/nissan_datsun.htm

Certainly sounds like a ZD30 with problems.....

All your checks are on the right track, but the very first one I would do is to eliminate a bad batch of fuel. Check for blocked CAT. The...

So, I'm a happy little vegemite, as they say :)

Stripped down the front end, and removed the diff. Someone mentioned it was heavy - it is......

Put it on the bench, pulled it apart, and...

New year's resolution - get a lock :)

I have a Lock Right 3210-LR sitting on by desk as I type, $399 delivered from AU seller. Considereed the Lokka, but no stock. (Why doesn't 4WD Systems have...

Sounds like the MAF is dirty and/or faulty. This will cause your limp mode issue while cruising at 100k.

Filthy oil after 800k could be EGR stuck open. A ZD30 should never be overfilled, as it...

I've used Gen20 in the Golf GTI with good results. I need to give it another session and remove the cabin filter, giving it a good dose on recirc as well as fresh.

So far the Patrol has not been...

Sounds like you may have answered your own question, so to speak.

New fill of fuel, problem gone.

A friend got a dose of petrol laden diesel fuel from a metropolitan Safeway servo last week....

By far the handiest thing you can have on outback trips is a travelling companion (in another vehicle). This enables sharing the load of safety equipment to some extent, and enables a stuck vehicle...

You could try these guys as well.

Who scammed you?

I have used CEM treatment for diesels twice - once on my son's old H2 which had 350,000 or so when he got it, and again the other day on a friend's 3.0DI Patrol, which had a replacement engine...

It's not hard to do yourself - I did mine. The Safari for the CRDs has one large hole in the guard which is so big you can cut out with good tinsnips or a nibbler. Top 1/3 of the hole has tar paper...

Are you sure that the auto box on the CRD is a weak one?

354Nm is tuned into the auto CRD engine while the manual has a bit more.

This would mean that it is 100% essential to do a...

I previously had a Jackaroo with alloys. There is a big difference between the way the Jack wheels went on vs the Patrol - and the Jack wheels were not renowned for coming off. Once installed, I...

Fixed it for you.......

Feck - welcoming one new friend to our midst is one thing, but identical septuplets......that could be stretching the friendship a bit :animierte-smilies-f

Dunno if a bloke can afford to shout a...

They have an upgraded valve body to suit the Patrol, which I'm pretty sure would overcome the power handling / towing load problem.

I try to be good every week :) , trying to reduce my 86kg down to 80kg. Not much success getting down, but no trouble maintaining, so it's not too bad. I'm 178cm.

Monday it's off to the gym...

If you look carefully the braided hose is visible behind the diff breather hose, and also the flexycoil and tread pattern of the swapped out tyres - went for...

The GU7 has a hex item on the radius arm - is this an adjustment nut or just a washer with a hex shape? I'm wondering if it is threaded and can be used to push the axle forward instead of a spacer...

Hi, I'm fairly new to the Patrol world, having previously owned a couple of Jackaroos.

Tried to find a well priced used Patrol but didn't succeed, and was tentative about buying an exploder.

Hey mate the pics are gone, would live to see them.
