What did you do to your Patrol today!

[threedogs]

Doesnt the reg need to be close to a battery???
not far away at all..

[GQtdauto]

Reg will be where the other one is at the moment or behind the glove box , that reg in photo is only 8 amp and won't handle full 340 watt of solar .

Inspired by Kat, I started to give the patrol some love this arvo.... some more patience and she will be looking brand new in no time..... well let's be honest there's a lot of work in front lol

Resolved the nightmare bracket to mate the Nissan Pto to a hydraulic pump for front winch. All tacked together, now have to fine tune for alignment of the splined coupling, - more hours on my back in the driveway, but getting closer. Final challenge is re-working the in cabin actuator, PIA stuff

I adjusted the idle on it, in the middle of rainy Marysville of all places lol. While waiting for DEPI to clear the road.
Thanks @nissannewby

Changed my drive belts, greased all the grease points, did an underbody / loose bolt check, replaced my fan clutch (only 2 years old :-( grrr), rotated my wheels, and had the joy of finding that not only was my fan clutch stuffed, but my steering damper has decided it doesn't want it's oil inside it anymore and let it leak out.... So now that's tomorrow's job after work

Well... I looked under the bonnet again to see if I could find a good location to mount the newly purchased Redarc BCDC charger, but no luck. So I finally replaced a broken cig lighter with a Narva dual USB socket. I pulled the cig lighter out about 5 years ago, and today thought I'd fix it. I'm pretty chuffed! Now back to looking under the bonnet!

Took my intercooler off today and flushed it out to remove any oil that may be in there. Now I have convinced myself that it goes harder ha ha

Replaced my steering damper, new shiny one in place, so that's sorted 😀 Went for a test drive, and a bit of belt noise, not a squeal, more of a whine that has a pitch increase with revs. Charge rate dropped a bit, so I got home and checked the new belts, which seemed to have stretched a little. Tightened up the belts, charge rate now seems ok. Didn't whine before I replaced the belts, is there a chance a new belt needs to wear in a little and will quieten down? I hope so, the aircon belt sucked to get on, and it's in front if the alternator belt..... (Wetting down didn't help). Any ideas?

When I had my new alternator fitted I had them fit a new alternator belt, was making a noise but has now stopped completely. Used to happen at start-up but would go away after a while.
