You'll know which place I'm talking about. Just head into town and keep an eye out!
Pretty disappointed with the mob that I dropped over $1500 in parts.
I did have an issue with the tie rod ends. The picture is of the note that was in the packaging. I put grease in as stated and black grease came out of the rubber boot. The grease that I was using was red. This tells me that the ends were already greased.
Their response.
They usually have some assembly grease in them and need a complete grease upon fitment.
So I went to Bursons and brought another one. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2024/03/4.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2024/03/5.jpg

Just received a fine for doing 46km/h in a 40 zone.
Not in a school zone by the way, just driving through the main street of Shepparton.
Bloody lucky they caught me before I killed the general public with my reckless behaviour.
I know the feeling. I had an immaculate record with over 20 years of drivers license (at the time) without a single occurrence. Then out of nothing, on a road I drive every day, I got a fine for doing 67 on a 60 zone. And the radar equipment had a 10% tolerance margin, so if it were 66, it would have been disconsidered due to being inside the error margin...
Yep, got pinged at 64 in a 60 zone, thru an intersection at 2am, I also was a candidate for mass extinction activities.Quote:

First yes but on a side street. Last No. Usually a great mob to deal with in Warnambool.Quote:

Then there's the low oil pressure on the troll. I can hear the engine coming good when the light goes out at around 1300rpm. Looks like it's going to need a fresh set of bearings and I still need to take in for the A/C and the trailing arm bushes to get my pre trip inspection..
It's f@#$ken hot [emoji3508][emoji3508][emoji3508] this weekend and I've been at it the last couple, next weekend is also out. Wanted to have everything sorted at least 4 weeks before the big trip and haven't even started on the extras to make the trip more comfortable..
For now f#$k it this is my long weekend.
Cheers all[emoji482]

I can't remember if yours is a TB or TD. Not fuel diluted oil causing low pressure? Or crap in the oil pickup or filter?
I am wondering around the oil pump and it being worn on the basis when the pressure increases the engine comes good? I did have a subaru that did the same thing - sorry similar - and it was valve guide stems seals of all things . I would change the pressure transmitter first, look at oil condition - assuming you have not changed anything, the ambient temps where the behaviour starts. Unsure where the oil pump is and if you can get to it . For a test you could add an oil fortifier to make it thicker and see if the pressure increases and improves? Just cant put the bearings into the picture??

I put new oil (20-50) and filter no change. I could take out the pick up and clean it out..

Haven't left a bit of rag inside the the rocker cover, or had a bit of sealant get into the engine. Since it only started after you had the cover off.
Hi mate, you tried Partsouq?

Sorry to do that to you, but after years in the maintenance game, I've seen and heard of tools, parts and rags being left after repairs.
Thanks gents. You got me thinking.
I'm going back to what I had. The oil pressure switch that I took out had 2 sensors one for the dash oil light and one for an aftermarket gauge that I removed a while ago. Mechanic picked oil switch because there was a lot of oil residue and road grime around them mainly around the aftermarket one. I cleaned them up, refitted the teflon tape and went for a 1/2 drive all good. No oil leaking, no oil light and no noisy engine.
Now back to the beers and pool..

Bugger! Interesting choice of a fix, though. When the gearbox plug stripped out. The mechanic welded a socket on, which gave us a whole lot more chance of applying torque.Quote:

No doubt you’ve explored all external influences too, shit mattress, shit car seat, biological degradation, not enough exercise like old me?

First time in my life my credit car got compromised last night and they took $3,500 in a matter of minutes damn it!
Dammit mate! Will you be covered by your bank? And I suppose you’ve got to get new cards issued too? No lower form of life than a thief.Quote:

New staff at work that think they know how to do everything.
I set up the guillotine for him to use, explained to him the basics, start stop emergency stops and reset and watched him cut a few pieces.
Walked past a few minutes later to him standing at the back watching the backstop moving out on side only. I saw that and broke the safety curtain to stop the machine. By this stage it was at a 45 degree angle.
Guys a 51 Year old ex mechanic, so I thought he would've been alright.

Spent 6 hrs swapping out a defective booster pump on my interchiller circuit, only to find the replacement is farked as well - two brand new pumps, magnetic drives instead of direct coupled - advise to steer clear of these Davies Craig units - bloody rubbish.
Now have to find a robust full duty cycle 12v positive displacement pump to fit into a pre-engineered cubby hole - not happy. A previous encounter with a 150LPM pump from them delivered 6LPM - yeah , pretty close.
Drove home from Flinders Ranges today and nothing made me angry, don't get angry when towing with Y62.
