Hello All,
I have just bought my first patrol. It is secondhand, 10/1996, 4.2l, EFI, 5 speed, 210000km and is in excellent condition. Engine number is: 128299, Model: WGY60YFE, Vin: JN10WGY60AO560273.
I have some basic questions:
- The model number on the id. plate does not indicate to me that it is one of the common model numbers usually quoted eg. GU, GI, MX,..... How do I identify what its common model number is?;
- It came with two sets of keys. One key works in the ignition but the other doesn't. Why does it have two different keys?;
- The central locking system can be activated from either the driver's door pull lock, the central lock on the RH arm rest or the driver's door key. But pressing the remote lock button on the key ring does not cause the door locks to operate (the key ring button illuminates). Does this mean that (a) the vehicle does not have a remote lock facility or (b) the vehicle has a remote remote lock facility but it is not working? If the answer is (b), where is the defective remote lock device located and where is the fuse for it?
- What tools are supposed to be in the tool kit? (I know where it is but it has only a screw driver and a tyre lever)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
