    So after many days the only information I have is that:
    1. The radiator has been pulled and pressure tested and is completely fine and nil leak in cooler.
    2. Everyone I've spoken to has the same opinion that the only other possible way it could happen would be submersion in a water crossing.

    On that note the closest the patrol has come to water in the last few months is a high pressure hose. Could this do something?

    Very possible, high pressure washing can cause lots of problems if one is not careful, I'm lead 2 believe the breathers are mounted inside the LH guard on GU's, did you pressure wash anywhere near where your gearbox breather is located?

    Unfortunately yes although the breather is enclosed inside the guard I feel you may be right. Hopefully get the truck back tomorrow and advice so far is to keep an eye on it.

    so ive been away working and the missus jumped into the car to go for a drive (first time since i had got it back its been driven more then 5km's) and it happens again in exactly the same spot on the mountain, this time without the camper on the back. she rang cape york automotive and they advised to let it cool down and limp it into them, after they had it for a few days they asked her to come in and get the car because they "dont do auto's" so take it somewhere else LMFAO last time i will be taking it there, Considering the were more then happy to take $1600 the first time.
