Hodge's new 4.2

[Plasnart]

I thought so too, but just curious. This bloke could have been on the spicy smokes for all I know.
I'm no expert but the way I see it. Mechanical pump should produce no pressure when the car isn't running? So what pressure in the system lol.

It starts straight up and thats a problem?? Get off the fizz dude. Mine also cranks straight up unless its sat for a month, thats when it takes about a second to fire, probably coz the batteries are down to 12-13V.

By the way i think my clutch is stuffed. As soon as i press the peddle in I lose all drive. Should keep drive for at least a second some guy told me.

It starts instantly. Whats the issue with that? It would be more concerning if it was the other way I think. Atleast you have a 4.2 you can start...

Still no Patrol A very sad day in Mudskiville today lol lol


FYI mine starts instantly like yours, when it didnt turned out to be shot
glow plug.
At least your starter is getting minimum use and thats a good thing eh

I can confirm this. Went to pick it up and saw it in person.
Now you have a Patrol! Welcome to the forum Mudski.

Haven't posted here in a while ! Thought I'd bump it with some bullshit!
Not much has happened to the car for a long time. It's just a daily driver to work and back for 3 out of 6 weeks and the other 3 it sits parked. Sad really as I haven't got time to utilize it for it's true purpose! Camping !

I'm saying this for a 83984th time, but still need to get the clutch done... Even though this one is still working fine.
Also got all the bits and pieces for secondary battery to be relocated to the rear. And a ton of other wiring and switches to be done. Waiting for the 4 weeks off starting just before Xmas to give the car some dedicated love.

Finished gutting the second battery system today. Now everything is out. Need to go get some more cable, cable and then begin install in the read.


Also as my boost controller was hidden in all the spaghetti I failed to notice there is oil residue coming out of it. Looks like it's been doing it for a while. So, I' assuming this'll be due to no catch can ?? @nissannewby @mudrunner do you noticed this on yours by any chance?

[mudski]

Oil residue isn't an issue. I have a catch can and still get a little from mine. why have you removed the second battery? Just re wiring?

Cheers. Thought as much just thought I'd ask anyway.

Complete second battery system is going in the rear of the car boxed. Plus other wiring jobs along the way.
I wired everything up somewhat in a hurry when I done it initially. My original idea was always to have battery and charger in the rear.

I dont get any residue. I dont run a catch can either.

It shouldnt be a problem for the boost controller though. Is there any residue on the turbo or intercooler?
