Installed a new Sony XAV-601BT head unit in the Troll and ordered a new Hiflo 3" cat from the crew at Genie

Just went out to the shed and started mine up..poor thing should be on blocks,only did 26km in the last month....was thinking about taking it for a drive but it's raining..

put new plates on mrs possums car this week,to match mine.

I was gonna jump in mine and take it for a spin, tinker with boost control a bit more and possibly head over to Mudskis, but walked out looked at it and walked back inside.

Maybe start a thread asking if someone will lend you their ecu?? But like i said i'm not sure if its plug and play or if you will need to sync the ecu with the bcm and nats system. When i get a chance mate i'll let you know and we'll have a looksee

Pulled the window tint off the front window. The guy that I bought the Patrol off thought that it looked cool (yep, he was right!), and its great while driving during the day, but totally illegal and a big P.I.T.A. at night.
Was actually bracing myself for a whole world of pain getting it off, but it came off really easy and didnt leave any glue behind. Only took about 45mins all up.
Method used was :
1. spray entire window with windex (make sure that its the one that says not to use on window tint!)
2. cover entire window with a large black plastic garbage bad to keep the windex from evaporating and get some free heat from the sun
3. park in the sun and leave for 30mins.
It is actually quite wintery here today so I gave it a bit of help from a heat gun on the outside of the window
4. peel back slowly from one corner, dont pull too fast or jerk it or you'll leave glue behind
5. drink a beer to celebrate a job well done!!!!

Many thanks to Mudski! Took the car around to his place and he tampered with the needle valve and we both took it for a spin and shes back to normal now. Very happy jan! Lets just see how long it stays this way ...

Thanks George. After Mudski played around with it today, it's leaning towards the boost control side of things as the culprit. So will keep an eye out on it and see if it shovels s*** in my face again. Hopefully not.
