Struggling with an on-going issue. I came home on the end of a tow rope maybe 4 weeks ago. The car lost power, would not rev over 1400rpm under load and would rev to 3000 then die. I thought it was...

mudski, what a spectacular supplier of brilliant customer service. I was speaking with Mark at 8.30am this morning, to sort out a filter order. I paid for the items via card then the filters were on...
Further rooting around yesterday, now back to square one it seems. I did some cable reconfiguration when installing the new Victron 50amp DCDC units - in parallel to give me the 100amp charge rate...
Another day spent on the concrete paying homage to the Chev Monster. Root cause of the fuel blockage turned out to be a failed fuel computer flowmeter. These are stainless steel bodied, precision...
I run a filter pre the pump to protect it. Its a large/medium size donaldson, sourced from mudski. I think its clogged, yet to get under the car to replace it - not keen on the diesel after shave...
Note to myself to keep on top of the fuel filter service intervals. On the way home from the weekend the fuel pressure dropped to 5psi from 10psi whilst cruising, then dropped to zero. The car would...
The saga continues. I went fishing for 4 days, mild weather, ran the engel and bushman freezer, using the solar panels and dcdc charger intermittently.
Capacity was circa 99% when I started and...
Thanks I am now running a 60L Engel from the 1980's - still kicking aftr a heart transplant in 2000, and more recently a Bushman 15L as a freezer. The combo will work well, however if a unit could be...
This is a very odd fault, reverse polarity all by itself??? Have you been doing any wiring or switch work under the dash, had the a/c switch disconnected and then re-connected? Have you tried the...
Seem to only find Windows to work on the when it's hot, but anyway I reversed the fan direction on the roof radiators, will see how that works. Started into the first iteration of repacking since the...
I put an isolating switch on the earth terminal, fixed any storage parasitic load in its tracks. I will chase it down when I have time I guess. I used one of the green plastic twist top battery...
I think its all relative to what you think an easy conversion is. From my experience its a bag of bee stings of different levels of pain! I will never do a conversion again. I think, fix the head...
Thanks, I think the whole purpose of these forums is to share the info.
I had a heart start moment on the way home from Yarra Glen yesterday arvo though. The roof mounted radiator system has a...
He has a big personality
Bit of a performance update.
I took the car out today into the heat, to check out the fruits of my labour - well, I am happy.
Some of the stas and changes in conditions seen today
1) Ambient...
