Greetings all, from a wet 'n dreary Wodonga. In April I bought a 02 auto Patrol wagon. Why auto? Sick of changing gears. 160 000 klms on (second) motor Good things:
1- shocks & springs from ARB
2- 2 /12 exhaust
3 - top mounted cooling fan on the standard intercooler. This fan is thermostatically controlled at 30 deg C It can be adjusted over a wide range. And the temp sensor is on the 'cold' side of the intercooler.
4 - Got the old girl dynoed at Websters, in Wodonga. Good money well spent! Clearances within spec. Intercooler flushed, and a few loose earth-return (for some sensors?) bolts tightened up. Then dynoed. Clean bill of health. Happy about that!
5 - wheels balanced

Well what a difference. A 16% increase in range on the main tank, plus a definite power gain. She doesn't wallow around corners. And, the shakes have stopped!
Well that's my Patrol
