Update. It appears that the ECU which controls glow plugs and fuel pump timing (not fuel volume as pump is mechanical) might be the problem. Unfortunately sparky can't get there until Monday...

GU is now 18yrs old and goes to Fraser a couple of times every year so rust was always going to be a problem sooner or later. Had windscreen replaced many years ago and a dodgy job did not seal it...

First thing they learn at Uni is that NEVER let the truth get in the road of a good story.

Heard interview live on Friday afternoon while on Fraser Island. Plenty of tailor at present.

Was looking at aluminium in previous post but price will be similar when fitted out.
Has anyone got one or...

I have a VDO temp gauge and it took 3 to get it right. The first one had readings too high and then low issues like yours. The second one just kept going up and not stopping until it went off the...

I rang them before Xmas and will be talking to them in next few weeks when I visit Brisvagas.

2006 coil cabs have 3150kg GVM and when I did the Cape a few years ago was 90kg over weight with full fuel (180lt) and water tanks (150lt). The existing canopy is quite heavy so aluminum replacement...
