hi to all fellow patrol owners.
I bought a 1999 gu 2 days ago and believe I have bought a lemon.
I silliy didn't check the 4wd system before buying and did some research on the rd28. (being under powered).
Now I tried out the 4wd system and all bad things. noises and wheels kinda trying to lock up when turning even the smallest amount. I have taken to 4wd mechanic and he took for short drive. came back and told me the diff in the front is gone and the rear is also just about there. I have now bought new (second hand) diff centers and soon will begin the tare down.. not ever having worked on 4wd the front diff mainly removing the axles worries me.. I wonder if there are any special tools needed ?? also and tricks I need to know before going ahead..
secondly mechanic has told me the turbo isn't working properly I just thought it was just a under powered 2.8.. I will most likely take back to mechanic to fix the turbo issue but will have a go at fixing, if anyone can point me in the rite direction.. I believe the turbo is working but its something else related to the turbo from what the mechanics has said..
