Yeah it was running hot, that's why I got it checked. Sorta happened really quickly.
Cost was just over $200, dunno if I got ripped off or what but well worth it, better than an overheating engine! Now sits at 1/3 on the gauge and gets to 1/2 when revving up hill with air con on.
Thats s good price if they removed the radiator and cleaned the core. Just keep an eye on your water pump after you put fresh coolant they tend to leak thru the bearing seals.Quote:

Thanks for that bit of advice mate, I'll keep an eye on it.

And id just like to say a big thankyou for putting all this effort in to make sure the party bus is in tip top shape for me

Not buying any goodies now until the Wandin show... putting some cash aside for that so will spend up big time there!
And this is no longer my daily driver as I've been given a company car!!!!!!!
Nice, I had a work van on a previous job, was nice not to pay for fuel, damn I miss that
I've been given it indefinitely, so could be taken off me any day but will be nice for the time I have it... will save me $80 a week in fuel alone... more money to spend on goodies lmao
Good stuff. $80 of mods per week is nice:-)

Yeh I got moved from my local branch 2 one further away so they gave me a fuel card and work van for over a year, than I went back 2 the one near home and they took than van and fuel card off me, they sold the van then decided to send me back to the other branch for another year or so, they gave me a fuel card but that was it so used it on the weekends to do long trips as they weren't paying a km rate for wear and tear. Got retrenched soon after they closed down the branch I was not meant to be at in the first place and moved me back to my normal place of employment.
So enjoy it while you have it and abuse the fuel card as much as possible.........just don't get caught *L*
Nah the fuel card can only be used on the work vehicle (omg a Toyota!!!) but I can use it for all my personal needs.
Well that's it, The Party Bus is no more. Yep she's dead........
I took the sub woofer out of it lmao so now it's not a party bus..... it's the Green Goblin!
You wombat!!!!!! It took me a bit to get to the bottom of ya post poo

That would have sucked allot.
Long live the Sub Woofa ....... In someone else's bus!!
Can't say I really listen to tunes when I am driving offroad.
Nah I always turn it off when I go offroad and very rarely have it up loud anyway. The brackets broke on it today when I was out bush and ripped the cables out of it. So rather than put it back in I'll just leave it out, love the extra space already. Now to fill up that space with a fridge lmao
No fully sic subwoofa!? Damn! well how are we gonna listen to metallica now????
Tap, crackle, pop
The normal speakers are still bloody loud! I'm gonna get a 10" slimline one when I get around to building my drawers

She's looking a bit sad now... Gonna give it a real good clean up on Sunday and then advertise it online.
Doesn't look too bad. The top pic looks pretty tough with that bar.
FanTapstic!
wow I didnt realise how straight it is. Give that bulbar a lick of paint if you could be bothered.
I doubt you will have any problem selling it
Yeah its not perfect but it's good. Can't wait for it to go but don't want to at the same time haha. I've got 3 cars atm and is a pain shuffling them around in the driveway
Ummm...... Sell the Ford???? Is that a trick question?Quote:

I sold the ford yonks ago! When I bought the first patrol! I've got the patrols and my work ute.
Oh, the work Ute.... Sorry Mr fancy pants with a work vehicle haha
FanTapstic!
It's not that great... It's a Toyota.
Better than putting ks on your own vehicle I suppose. We park two vehicles away in the shed every night but I'm not allowed to take one home:-( BTW ours is a 2011 4wd flat tray yota.
FanTapstic!
Ours is a 2wd Hilux 4 banger... Comes with a fuel card so I can't complain.
They hammer to 80k's then your left wondering what happened to power lolQuote:

Nuh.....
I can't think of one lol
FanTapstic!
Is it manual or auto?? If its man and the rd is a bit dewy and your cruising at about 70/80 throw it into 3rd and watch the rear step out haha. I held a 3rd gear "bush fire" in my dads mates 1 lol
Yeah its manual,we've got an auto as well which is gutless compared. Our old tyres on it were effed. Scary to drive. Was hard to take off without squeaking the wheels in the dry. We have new tyres on it now with heaps of grip.
