    Try cleaning the MAF and after doing so disconnect the battery for a couple of hours

    4by. All ive done to it so far is fit a k&n pod filter the one thats mounted in a cone type housing the opening was sitting too close to the windscreen washer bottle so i just used a couple of nylon tyes to hold it up level with the original air cleaner housing mounts as a temp solution as soon as i get time ill connect it to my snorkel

    Im getting 13 - 14 / 100 on the freeway and 17 - 18 / 100 city. Stock everything on 265's a/ts using 98 RON. My goal would be 9 -10 freeway and 13 - 14 city but i don't think that will happen with the 4.5, i was going to try and better my economy with an exhaust, snorkel and air filter/ box upgrade buy haven't had a chance to do anything lol.

    Just returned from a Camping Trip towing a Jayco Dove Camper Van

    450 K's and used 107 Litres of LPG and that is 23.87/100 K's at a cost of $64.24 and that equates to 14.276 cents per Kilometre
