What did you do to your Patrol today!

[threedogs]

@Cuppa Ive emailed you and Ron Moon about your plight.
But for better pedal"feel" then the braided teflon brake lines
would be a cheapish first step.[$300] You may know this from playing with motorbikes
I converted all my single disc hondas to twin drilled on the front and a single drilled on the rear
That and braided hoses Boy would they stop then. this was in the 70s too so well before they were
on the shelves lol

Today I fixed my Sub Tank Pump fault... again.
This is about the 4th time and we have a strong love hate relationship
It loves to fault out every 12 months or so and I hate having to fix the $#%$# thing.

I guess it is my fault as I am too mingy to replace the aftermarket pump with a genuine mofo and the Sub Tank Poota faults out when the connection to the impedance matching resistor I have fitted across the pump to fool the Poota Self Test gets manky.

Ah well, at least it gives me a chance to have a poppy nap while I am on my back under the car fixing the POS.

what do they say do it once and do it right,
but a nanna nap under the Patrol on a garage
creeper couldnt think of anything cooler lol

Well my solar regulator is fully wired up and working. Permanent panels work sweet, I disconnected the battery to do some wiring and forgot to unplug the panels. Fridge was still running and all accessories worked simply direct off the solar on an overcast day. I have a Bluetooth connection to it with a 30 day log so I can see on my phone what its doing too.

You'll be surprised how much you get on an overcast day.
We've got panels on the roof and even throughout winter we still generate.

Ron's reply was,,,, remembering his patrol weighs 4T fully loaded,
he tried the EFI rotors but found that didnt improve things much.
He runs DBA rotors and pads, plus he converted the brake system from
Vacuum to hydraulic via a set up Marks adaptors sell, Might be worth checking out

Checked the Patrol emergency fluids;
6 Pack of Beer in car fridge - check
2nd 6 pack in panniers - check
6 Pack of 'morning after' Coke - check
600ml of water - cheeee... ummm... is a bottle of water with a 'best by' date of Mar 1998 still OK?

Don't forget to check the scotch fluids too mate. Always overlooked!
