Update on patrol
So new stereo in, LOVELY
NEw aerial fixed...piece of cake...troublesome little bit getting motor out of tyre guard but got it done
Now on fuel issue - mechanic worked back replacing all rubber hoses and process of elimination to the pump :icon_bonk:
Last ditch for cheap repair is just fitted a new SCV to fuel pmp hoping that may be shot to buggery....if not Im sourcing a new fuel pump $$$
SO not good news I'm afraid
No sooner Im here on the patrol sight I've gone and done a dirty deed....... Bought a new prado ....
Patrol is dire
so MEch found just a few issues
1 - All four glows plugs were broken and not working
2 - two of four injectors had major fuel bleed back
3 - High pressure injector pump def has internal leak
4 - 4th cylinder little to no compression
I wanted to look at new motor conversion but missus forced my hand
Happy wife happy life right??
Although I am really into Patrols, the Prado is a good 4x4 no doubt. Wife just saved your wallet. Conversions are fun stuff for the strong hearted, but requires time, patience and no doubt, more cash then it is worth.
