What did you do to your Patrol today!

[10G]

Install the new DCDC charger without the slightest indication of smoke. Start moving gauges around to suit new instro layout - more bloody wiring. If I don't get roped into taking the wife to the Melb Zoo, the intercooler manifold swap is on the cards tomorrow.

Glad to hear take 2 went well Phil, I don't need any more chargers ;-)

I gotta remove shims from my swivel hubs this weekend, last thing I'm doing trying to fix death wobbles.

I've heard the lower bearings can be buggers to get back in. Anyone have any pointers?

TD I mounted it on the cargo barrier on the opposite side to the passenger compartment. Its getting busy with all the other gear, but will keep the VASS engineer happy when engineering comes around again.

Picked up an OEM Hitachi replacement alternator for Mrs MB’s 19 year old GU so far faithful wagoon.

All seems ready for plug and play install although just noticed slightly different codes on stickers.


Still both 12V - 100A so here’s hoping Hitachi just updated year models ‘A’ & ‘G’ or other warehousing special needs.

FWIW: If any wankers like me out there are suffering from diagnosed limp wrist syndrome and need two hands to wrench one tiny spanner, this works a treat, fair dinkum!


The ‘S’ hook on the little ratchet strap simply lowered behind wedges itself against the block and cantilevers the alternator for tension clicky’s

Couldn’t be OEM happier for our family needs, TBH sick to death of mucking around with high performance aftermarket gear on other twucks!

Wagoon was charged via 240v for around a week to bring the old Optima back to life from low 7V getting the girls home alone at night.
2 days left to settle off charge to see result.



A double glow and no diesel revs alternator tickle up for starters.



Brought it up to 950rpm ish tickle.



Brought it up to 1,500rpm ish.



Dropped it back down to idle again now that its giggling after tickles :-)

@MB you might be interested in this...
Wired up this voltage display on the main battery. I'll do another one for the second battery when I have a chance.
I already have a dual voltage gauge on the A pillar but this will be good when parked or charging off solar.
Total cost only $5 for the LCD display and switch. Used some recycled aluminium and bolts.

Now that is spot on Legend!!
