Wyoming my old stomping grounds.
Grew up in Narara.
The good old days you could walk the streets at night without a worry.
Many a fri,sat night walk hick stagger home from Gosford leagues or bowling club 5k to home and never a problem.
Don't think I'd try it now!

It's not to bad robo I got the bronks across the road had no real issues except one night a scumbag was picking on 3 12 year olds they ran onto my veranda I let them in and had a deep and meaningful discussion with him.... He told me I better watch out he just got out of jail...... I told him I'm not twelve and not scared of him .... He walked

Decided to spoil Pat with better radiator and braided lines.
More like preventative maintenance coming up to summer hols and camping time.

Brake safe being a sponsor here came to the rescue.

The brakes feel more responsive now & bit firmer pedal.
I'm not over the moon about it,that said the calipers could use an overhaul as I doubt they have ever been apart.
Weighing up to do calipers & new rotors, or complete new gear by replacing with tb48 stuff, will see.

And Richard at ARE supplied the Radiator.
well that's gotta be better than the piece that was in there lol.
it holds approx 3.5 to 4 lts more coolant.
ensure things stay in the green and I don't have to be gazing at temp gauge as much

Must say I was looked after very well by both shops.
questions were answered and they followed up letting me know dispatch arrival times etc.

Giving the viscus hub a service.
Completely drain and cleaned out old oil.
Recon 50 mls is more like what came out, so in with near 3 bottles of 08816-10001.

It's now a bit harder to turn by hand than it was before.
I recon it now a little louder cruising so presume bit more air being worked by fan.
Ambient air temp to cool to tell if its made any difference but next time vans hooked up will be the real test.

New tridant hiflow tt2028-170 thermostat fitted.
If you turn stat upside down and look inside the sensor you'll see 77degC stamped .
It's the one listed in spare parts books as the correct one for mine as the alternative to the std one, and not a fudge
Things are looking good n stable with normal driving.
Now for a towing test.

On the TDs Darren that bypass flap on the bottom of the stat lifts up higher than an OEM hence letting more water to flow quicker. In a nutshell.
