when you install your new battery wipe the terminals with a green scourer,
dont forget inside the battery leads as well, when all nice and tight and tested
Spray some terminal protector on both...

You can check the new alternator is charging the battery properly with your multimeter......
Check that battery terminals are tight and there is no white deposits at the terminals(or minimal...

When your unlucky enough to have an Alternator fail and not realise it the poor old battery gets a hiding.
Given the age of the battery and circumstances you can get it capacity checked but I am...

I would say the three year old battery is probably stuffed. Failure may or may not have been caused by the faulty alternator but to be honest, I haven't read your other thread.

There are a things which draw power even when keys are off but that's shouldn't drain battery over a few days. Months maybe not days.
One thing you can do is pull the battery out and charge it on...

To be fair - of all the NADS mods - this bit is not really legal. I can understand why a mechanic would be reluctant to block the EGR.

Yeah we did chat. I would ignore what you were told. Unless your motor is on its way out then it's a different story. When ever your ready mate, just let me know. We'll sort out what you need and...

Those mechanics are either real old school and have never worked on a motor with an egr, or they are still wet behind the ears in the trade and are only saying that, because they heard someone else...

When we bought our Patrol last year, it wasn't a question of if we were to fit NADS but more of when, been happy with the results so far.

If I had a dollar for everytime someone told me "No amount of band-aid will help your grenade". I'd be able to afford a brand new Patrol right now!
In my search recently for a mechanic to fix my...

The damage to most ZD30 motors is accumulative – it happens a bit at a time – like erosion. It does not matter if the motor has a few Ks on it – as Mudski said – if it has no apparent damage, then...

It is worth doing IMHO, because part of the mods is to remove the idiotic ECU control and gaining extra performance and driveability if not for anything else.
NADS won't necessarily prevent the...

Not very good advice you got there. If you already have engine damage. Wouldn't you know about it? The engine surely wouldn't perform if you did.
If the motor seems fine why wouldn't you install the...
