    you bast*ard MR...lol

    You are not going to believe this but after driving an hour on rough dirt road on the way home the air con blower elec wire broke off It's zip tie and fell onto the chassis.

    Long story short, it shorted out and blew the main 65amp IGN fuse and the Patrol is stuck at my brothers...lol....Off to a flying start!!!

    Spent half the day trying to get a new one, Repco and Autobarn don't stock them and 3 auto elecs on the way home didnt have them.

    My auto elec mate does have them but he's not back until tomorrow!

    I'm going to drive to my brothers house now as I did promise I will have pics up tonight...lol...Bloody hell guys....lol

    Back in 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah it has taken over 6 months to find this...lol

    They bought it new and live down at Rye....(South east coast of Port Phillip Bay) so I was concerned about rust.

    They garaged it 100% and they actually lived up in the hills of Rye which would have also helped with sea breezes, etc)

    Anyways I can't find any rust anywhere apart from inside the rear side windows (standard spot) and It's not too bad either.

    never offroad, never dirt road actually...lol....Mate It's been so well looked after, fussy retired bloke serviced it himself every 10,000km, drained the tanks too as he was paranoid about water. Still has the factory stickers on the diff, gear box and transfer...lol

    Drives 100%, looks neat outside for a 20 year old car (few scratches, etc).....Perfect blank canvas!!!

    Forgot to mention it did cost me 10k but I think thats a good price for this kind of condition and km's.

    He was asking 11k but the stubborn bugger wouldn't go any lower...lol

    If i had of walked away that night it would have been gone the next day for sure, I was the first to ring 1 hour after he put it on Carsales and drove down that arvo..lol

    I was like a hawk!!!!!!!!!
