G'day. Sorry for the tardy reply. I have had to modify the heat shield to fit over the headers. An upside down tray with one edge cut off should work. Just use a holesaw to cut a hole and fit an...

I recently bought another carby and carby kit. The bloke who runs the local dyno, fitted the kit. Unfortunately the auto choke was defunct, so I had to remove the heater spring and fit a manual...

My supposed "heavy duty" clutch is slipping when under really heavy use. It is only 20000 ks old and did slip once before, under the same circumstances. Up steep dunes in 4wd low.

Time to check your nuts! With the engine off, whack the handbrake on and put it in fifth gear. Get under your Patrol, undo the four bash plate nuts and and use a long breaker bar and socket to check...

Years ago my Old Trol presented such weird noises. It turned out to be the hand brake not releasing, properly when the nose was pointed slightly down hill. Fixed itself eventually. I am a little...

I wonder if it is a dry or old spigot bearing. Seeing as it is the same in all gears it does point to the clutch. A long long time ago I had a couple of brand new thrust bearings from Repco fail. it...

If you have a stripped or cross-thead spark plug hole., this thread might help....

Check the battery voltage when starting. It could be an open circuit cell.

Check the lug at the solenoid. Sometimes they look solid but can have carbon build up, especially if it is an aftermarket spade lug. Use a pair of pliers to tighten it. If that is ok, sometimes a a...

Definitely made a difference to my Trol. The 2nd stage butterfly wears a groove in the carby bore. When it is cold the bore shrinks onto the butterfly. The couple of minutes sitting on a warm engine...

Do you mean the tin shroud and the corrugated hose are missing? When I first had the headers fitted, I used a bit of exhaust pipe welded to a u bolt to anchor the hose to a pipe.

I eventually...

Thanks to this thread, and helpful posts from Mudnut and Dom, I've got Dad's ST30 Patrol running sweetly again.

The sensors inside the air cleaner control the warm air intake, and had been blocked...

Follow the hose under the filter housing. If it is only missing at idle check for a vacuum leak. If you remove the ball bearing in the pre heat, you will hear the flap open when you put on and pop...

Thank you all for this very useful thread on the RB30S.
My personal vehicle is a TD42, however I've inherited Dad's ST30, which is pretty much in original factory condition.
Right now I'm in the...

I would switch the White/red with the blue wire in the above diagram. That way the the condenser fan relay only operates and switches the fan an on when either the thermo switch or the pressure...
