Im tuning my Dawes valve.... What a wondrous thing it is... Just wish I could get it perfect. Speaking of which, has anyone delt with MTQ Engine Services? I want to get my GU dyno'd and the Rapid Chip module I bought tuned up.
Tonight, tinkering more with my light bar and spotties setup... Neighbors going to hate me :p
wired up the roof spotties, rear work light and a plug for the led light strip for the side awning, unplug the strip and roll up the awning and stow it and cap the plug and tie it in a loop with a cable tie so it doesnt flap all over the place until next use of the awning, cut the tie uncap and plug it together and presto light!!
Ok, so I changed the oil and filter in the ZD30 (06) today for the first time (oil filter is a bit of a PIA but such is life).
Checked in the service book....8.2L with oil filter, ok all good, fill with 8L, start her up, drive off ramps to make her level, let idle for a bit, switch off, wait for a couple of mins and check level.
Only just showed on the bottom of the dipstick, I thought WHAT!?, anyway it took another litre of oil to get it to the right level.
I must have checked it 10 times just to make sure. Anyone else have a 9L capacity Patrol ;)
The only other thing I can think of is that I miscounted the number of 1L jugs I poured into her, though I was marking each one down on a piece of paper as it went in.
Anyway, my question......if it's reading right on the dipstick, I shouldn't be concerned right????
But this would be for severe 4 wheeling, yes? Seems like overkill for "normal" driving.Quote:

Tapp tillya Crap
My recovery points turned up today so I put the lefthand side one on. Run into a little bit of trouble with the right... Theres no captive nuts in the chassis rail. What has everyone else done to get theirs on the RHS?
Cheers, Teno.

So the holes are there, you just need to buy nuts???
I don't think the issue is nuts (pardon the pun hehe) but whether you can get them behind there to fit them and tighten them up. I have the all terrain recovery points and they bolt up to the 2 holes where the original one was and I also put one on the other chassis rail.
I thought that was the case, but I had to start with an elimination question. lolQuote:

Check the vinyl out before they leave!
Installed a new Waeco SLD 060 fridge slide for my second fridge (to use as a freezer). Bought it from 4THE in Perth, cost $256 delivered to Canberra. Funny how I can get it from the other side of the country for $43 less than the best price I could find locally.
Next job is to install the third battery (AGM) to run it.
I bought new door hinges and bailey channel rubbers for the crushinator. Hopefully that will stop the rattles so i can hear the other rattles.

Done a little bit of research at smoko, and it seems some people have drilled a hole next to another one in the rail somewhere, not sure if im so keen on that one. Unfortunately I think it might be my only option. I could just move the standard tow hook to the RHS, but then not wanting to use it is the reason I bought the new recovery points in the first place.Quote:

What did you get for them? (if you don't mind me asking) I have now fitted my new rims and tyres and have the five OEM alloys to sell....4 with worn out Duelers and one with a new Dunlop Grandtrek.Quote:

Giving the second battery a work out by leaving the fridge on, then charging it with the solar panels.
Put the Provent catch can on. oh and started to wax her but got a bad case of the "couldn't be stuffed", got intimate with some bourbon instead :)
Got her very dirty & wet ;)
:Yahoo!: make this a new thread and do tell!!!!!! haha :tongue:
Changed the oil and filters, new fuel filter, six new glow plugs and glow plug relay, but it looks like I need to change the glow plug timer/controller as the circuit is still cutting in and out before the glow plugs get hot.
Waxed her ;)
