Hi all,
am a new 4x4 er. bought my first 4wd early this year. a 2002 3lit Patrol. I am aware of the NADS and have parts coming in the mail as we are speaking.
Last weekend we went to Sandy Cape (Jurien Bay, WA) and spent a superb weekend on the beach. on the way back down to Perth, along Indian Ocean Drive I noticed the car having lost its grunt. it took forever to accelerate and I was struggling to make it to 100kmh (not pulling anything). some of the slight inclines I had to downshift into 3rd gear. No black smoke coming out of exhaust and it sounds normal. I checked the air filter - all clean. this is about as far as my mechanical knowledge goes.
So now I am after a good mechanic / garage that I can take the Patrol to. I live in Coolbellup which is near Freo.
Any advise / recommendation as to which place to take it to is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Kai
