Yeah mate, you have to remove the grill. The screws for the headlights are covered by the grille. At least on my 89 model they are. Do you have sealed headlight units or the unsealed ones you can...

Hey guys, I did a bunch of searching around but I couldn't find an answer to this exactly. Feel free to smack me over the back of the head and show me if you know of a thread though.
I have an...
Hey guys, like just about anyone else who has a TD42 my thermostat long bolt snapped. Not once, but bloody TWICE. First time was flush with the top of the lower housing, the second time was flush...
Well, I knew the noise was coming from the engine bay, and was happening at a certain rev range. So I figured that revving the car while looking at the engine bay would help me find the source of the...
Sorry mate, I don't know the right term for it. The equivalent of a throttle link on a petrol engine. You twist it to increase the revs. I will pull apart the turbo inlet and dump tomorrow and check...
Hey guys,
Full disclosure: I've only owned my GQ for 2 months, so I'm very green and learning as I go.
Lately I have been noticing a buzzing noise from the engine bay while driving (usually...
Thanks for the help guys. I'll give her a clean tomorrow and watch for the source of the leak. Is it enough to let her idle for a while? Or is it better to go for a drive and put some load on the...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.
I have found that patrolapart are selling extended sway bar links for 2-3" lifted patrols. Would it be worth getting those and replacing all of the shorter links?...
Hey guys, thanks for the responses.
I have been doing some research, and apparently there is supposed to be a ball joint with a thread at the bottom. The car currently has a 2" lift, so is it...
I just checked the inside of the sway bar release and it's kind of just hollowed out inside. Do you happen to know how the bolt is supposed to be fastened inside it?
Is it safe to drive normally...
Hey AB, thanks for the quick response.
Is there a specific bolt that should be in there? Or do I need to replace the whole sway bar link?
Hey guys,
So I'm really new to my GQ patrol (only got it last week). I noticed that mine has the factory rear sway bar disconnecy. Today I was playing around with it, and once activated I noticed...
Hey guys,
I have recently purchased a 1990 GQ Patrol. It is a TD42 silvertop with an aftermarket Denco turbo system. My goal is to do the majority of the work on the car myself, however I am...
