OK, they are supposedly 'heavy duty' jumpers, but I did notice when I tried to start the old bitch that the earth lead was quite warm. Haven't tried to turn it by hand, will give it a go when it...

Nobody???

Oh well, off to fleabay .

1987 MK Nissan Patrol SD33T LWB Wagon with 347K on the clock. Registered till June 2014.

It was my daily drive till I bought a new Triton at Xmas time. I've been taking it for a run every three...

Tried to jump start it today and it did turn the motor VERY slowly, fan only went around less than 1 revolution.
And I could hear the starter solenoid clicking.

Thanks for the replies.

I've cleaned all the connections and have the battery on a recondition charge at present. If no joy I'll try a jump start and that will help determine where the problem may...

It's been sitting for a few months so I charged the battery and it's showing 12.5v, more than enough to start it I would think.

Since I've had it, it has always been finicky to start, often...

This time it seems the fault is with the manufacturer for wrongly labelling the boxes.

Eventually got the correct cylinder after asking the seller to open the box and actually check that it was...

Well I've just had the same wrong part sent to me for the second time, from a different eBay seller.

It appears that the Ultima Slave Cylinder, part # JB4160 have shipped some wrong units in the...

Yep, no adjustment on the slave push-rod but MQ MAD has explained this.

Thank you for your input patch.

Thanks for the reply MQ MAD.

Hopefully the new slave cylinder will arrive tomorrow so I'll see how I go.

Cheers

Thanks patch.

There is no adjustment nut on the rod. I'll keep trying to find a manual that I can access to have a look.

Cheers

I'm in the process of fitting a new clutch slave cylinder to my '87 MQ/MK SD33T.

A friend helped remove the old slave so I didn't actually see what came off the forks but there is a hole about...

You misunderstood, it was a faulty master cylinder, not the booster.

As you are probably aware it is a twin system, and the piston that pumps to the front brakes wasn't working, so no front...

Hi

I finished up getting the one man 'Vizibleed' and did the bleed by myself, starting with the rear N/S.

Just jacked up and removed the wheel for the slave cylinder I was working on and worked...

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

I did crawl around and look at all slave cylinders, no leaks that I could see, plus I wasn't losing any fluid from the master cylinder.

The replacement...

I've just bought it so I hope it's OK.

I did a post thanking NissPat, Mechlou and clunk71 but it seem to have gone MIA.

Anyway I'll add Bigrig and DX to the list to thank for the welcome.

Adjusted rear drum brakes and handbrake. Now have good pedal and handbrake, but only stopping on back brakes.

Not losing any fluid anywhere so my gut feeling is that the rubber rings on the master...

Thanks for the welcome wild98, patch697 and timbar( should I be ducking?)

Seems like lots of helpful folk and good info.

Thanks pearcey


Will have a look.

Thanks for the friendly welcome.

Hi All

Just joined up. Was looking for parts for the MK when I came across the forum.

I'm on my fourth Patrol, an '86 SD33T, and I just can't seem to get away from them.

I'm having some...
