milsom here in Chrisrchurch NZ
just enrolled. just bought a patrol. company car goes back at the month end, used to have a 100 series cruiser, bought a GU3 zd30 2002 as my new car.
anyone who has concerns over longevity - mine has done 420,000km. former company directors car, did a lot of long and hot running. totally standard. keen to understand more about how the zd30 failed - my investigations to date suggest lack of oil capacity and turbo boot spikes... comments?
just giving it the once over, looks like the front wheel bearings need tightening at least - im a bit confused that the front hubs dont run in oil like a land rover one does? looks like the shims have been removed so maybe its new bearings required. i recon by the time ive taken them to bits i might as well put the new bearing in?
was changing the speakers in the front today and now my passenger window is down and wont come back up - i did mess with the door switch but ive taken it off, no action on either front... any suggestions/ i wondered if i had ended up with the switch jammed on and burned something out? all the other windows work fine - no no action from either the drivers control or the passenger door switch
i was going to wire in some fog lights but i can figure out which switch blank the wiring is behind on the dash? theres a purple lead to blanks behind the bumper - any advice?
safari snorkel on order - some suggestions around removing the baffles in the inlet pipes between the air box and the
it has a catch tank fitted recently, thinking of the egr blank, dawes valves and egt gauges - possibly a 3" exhaust but TBH its in 'as new' condition underneath
currently building a false floor for the boot (3rd seats out) dog guard (i heard a modified commodore one fits? so i took a punt for $30)
advice on diff oils? and diff locks - might need to review breather pipes too.
im quite excited about all these jobs but the passenger door window has me scratching my head.... lets start there?
