Hi,
Travelling full time, bought 2000 Patrol from auction many years ago and have been pulling the caravan around Australia ever since. Just done 130,000kms since I bought it to give a total of 270,000kms. Do my own servicing by the side of the road.
Have had very few mechanical problems during this time.
I had the death wobbles at 80kmh and was searching the net for an answer and came across this forum and thought I would join.
Found the answer elsewhere by reducing the shims on the steering knuckle bearings which fixed it.
Another problem I had last year was, I thought, a flat battery which had been playing up. I was stuck by myself on top of Cape Range near Exmouth. Eventually getting a tow start from a passerby I removed the starter motor back at camp. The bearing had collapsed and wouldn't turn over. I drilled and ground a nut to a bush which replaced the bearing. A new starter from eBay arrived 2 weeks later, meanwhile the bush worked fine.
