    Truly do appreciate your truck Mark Mate!
    Having had the pleasure of a quick chauffeured run in it once was amazed at its better than showroom feel on our woeful council corrugations up here.
    Full credit to you bloke for always keeping atop of even the slightest rattle, she’s a beaut of old better than new

    Thanks Mark.
    I’m certainly picky at having things working as they should, if not better.
    I also drilled out some drain holes for the front guards.

    Also all flares except for the front left and left rear door were removed and had new seals fitted. The rear 1/4 flares have taken a few hits and the seals would fit exactly right. This annoyed the shot outta me but I ain’t forking out the coin for new flares do I just did the best I could.

    I also fitted up some 5mm thick white foam seal around the rear barn door frames.
    As I have had this constant issue of exhaust fumes getting in the cab. Even with new door seals I could feel air escaping out of the rear door when the A/c is on full so I can only assume the exhaust fumes in entering via the rear barn door.
    Hard to see in the pics but the new seals run the perimeter of the frame where the door seals meet.

    Totally agreed mate, disgusting Mr Nissan’s OEM price for them plastic foot long bits!
    Pretty sure we paid $200+ when Mrs MB was checking her Faceache whilst turning right through a gate clipping it off, 3.6m gate was only $136 :-)

    Aerial is off because the GU is getting garage love, and no rope because the winch is not wired in yet. Waiting for stage 4 lockdown to end so @matfew can wave his wiring magic.

    So. It of a setback. Not what I really wanted or need to be doing right now.
    The Patrol for some time has alway used a bit of oil when on long trips and especially when towing. Tried to ignore it and was telling myself it’s me just not checking the levels properly. But the last oil change I dumped a mere 8litres of oil.
    The inter cooler always has a fairly consistent oily film in it. But the intake side of the turbo is bone dry.
    My original thoughts was the motor, but after seeing the intake dry the turbo must be shot in some way.
    So I removed the intake pipe and had a feel of the impeller.
    Assuming there is supposed to be no play in it. Mine has. Feck!

    So.
    Any tips on removing a Garret low mount Turbo? Never done this before. Just start pulling bits off I suppose....

    Bugger mate that sux. Yeah mine uses a little and not sure if turbo is letting a bit through or a little from engine, anyhow have discounted it and don't worry too much lol. . Yeah fairly straight forward to get the turbo off, the flange nuts on the manifold will be your biggest hurdle can be an absolute prick to get to and most likely will need to make custom spanner from an old ringy to get in there. .
