First family camping trip with the Patrol spending the weekend with friends at the Murray River near Ulupna island.
The patrol performed perfectly and towed the caravan we hired without a problem.
Got to put it into 4x4 for the first time and enjoy some of the hills and sand around the area too!

Our forum has been through hell and back over the years and we've watched a lot of other quality forums die with the likes of Facebook and their lack of cataloging and referencing for future knowledge along with the knowitalls but I'm proud we are still kicking it folks and it never ceases to amaze me in the last 12 month growth of quality members and old school members still around.

A ship is only as seaworthy as it's captain AB!!
Great to have you at the helm mate. If you didn't kick this forum into gear, a lot of us would be at the mercy of Facebook mechanics.

Can you guys explain how facebook 'works'. I finally joined so I could join a Chev optimiser group in WA, and ever since I get bombed by some robot suggesting I might like to make contact with 'this random person' whats the deal, how do I close down the assault and only use it for my needs?

This random person might be someone you you have contact on the phone you are using. Im not sure to be honest. I'm using FB less and less these days, I only have it now for the JD collectors pages Im a member of and thats pretty much it. The rest just shits me.

I am getting links to people overseas, not personal or business related, some clown and his family in Scotland, complete randoms, but its basically the same reason i opted out of LinkedIn as it was open slather with sales guys selling fire pumps and toothbrush sales etc totally BS. I just need to find a way to essentially 'go private' and restrict access to those who I have contacted - how do you do that or can you even do that?

You're on the WWW. No such thing as "private".
However...
FB has privacy options, that essentially make you kind of invisible.
But you can still join / view pages.
Friend requests you simply ignore.
If you post a comment on a public page or discussion, obviously, people will see you and if they want , look at your profile page and see the things you've allowed the "public" to see (whatever is enable in privacy options).
Pretty much what I do. I'm scott no friends!!! I just joined for the sake of various 4x4 pages and companies. For example right now communicating with Radius Fab, who are mainly only through FB.

The unfortunate thing about Facebook is quite a lot of clubs , Organisations and even businesses only have Facebook as a contact .
I get sick of the random people who you don't know wanting to get in touch etc so I just delete the request and only really use it now for my search for a subtank for the GQ but apart from that I don't use it much .

So Andy at Diesel Tec tuned my Patrol two weeks ago. I've had constant battles with coolant issues for a while now too. My latest attempt to help were to buy a new radiator. I ditched the 3 row copper brass jobbie and put the OEM style one back in to no avail. Flush and cleaned the cooling system with a cleaner, multiple different stats, modified bypasses on stats etc etc, more oil in the viscous hub, added foam around the a/c condenser and radiator, all to not much avail. The latest was I heard about Koyorad radiators. Supposed to be the duck guts in aftermarket OEM copies. Some have said better than OEM. So I took the plunge and bought one. I also added another 9ml of oil to the viscous hub.
Well I've been driving the Patrol to and from work over the last few days and the temps now change from 75c to 80c. And the odd occassion, hit 85c, for a few seconds then drop back quickly. I'm keen to get out on the highway now and see how it goes. From the driving I have done I would easily see 95c on the hills I have done. I will admit though, the extra oil in the hub I can really hear the fan pulling the air. This might be normal? But with a G35 fan, this pulls more air than the OEM fan so not really sure on this. But so far the temps are great!
And no bloody water leaks as yet from the water rail!
