I've reused the injector tubes multiple times with no ill-effect, just keep them clean. I replaced them after my last tear down for peace of mind.

I just tightened them as much as practical, nice...

for aux/deepcycle have a look at the Itechworld batteries, they are designed for underbonnet use

for cranking, stick to lead acid

IMO, not the timing chain. Sound is intermittent. I recently replaced my timing chain, the tensioner has a LOT of spring pressure against the chain.

I'd be surprised if it were exhaust manifold,...

No, probably 3-4 times a year. I enjoy watching dirty oil come out and putting clean stuff in. It's like mowing grass, or burning wood, very satisfying.

Anyone else love servicing their vehicle?

Going over my service intervals for the time I've had the patrol...

Great post!

Definitely if you've got the time, working on your own vehicle and figuring it out for yourself is the way to go.

They really are easy motors to work on, heaps of space in the...

Good point. The earth is probably the most overlooked asset of any vehicle.

Very nicely done, well above my pay grade :cool:

Welcome! Do you have a pic of your Dirty Datto?

the oil switches are a common fault with zd30 di/crd motors, I replaced both, the RH one was at fault in my case, easy to replace with the intake manifold removed.

The giveaway is the rear passenger aircon vents (I think).

My other car is an EV so it's hard to do a comparison, but the patrol definitely has a lot of in cab noise. I have a "quiet" 3 inch exhaust.

Is it auto or manual? I thought dual-mass flywheel was...

which model, year/motor/etc?

I got a patrol because prados were 10k more for the same car. Digging deeper revealed prados had their own set of problems.

All cars need maintenance which includes but is not limited to: battery,...

Hi mate. My name is Jay too.

Heck yeah!

There's enough info available online to buy the bits and do it yourself.

Mine was included in a dyno tune & exahust package, so no shame :D

A lot of people pay other people to change their oil.

Why the link to Minecraft?

I did some research a few years ago and settled with "fuel doctor" to mitigate water & algae. I keep a sauce bottle in my driver door and squirt a bit in each time before adding fuel

Don't buy it...

I have 3x rhino roof bars, aerodynamic ones. They get me by. I had to seal up all the crevices in them to minimize highway flute sounds.

And a nightmare sifting through everything looking for the info you're looking for


I have the Haynes repair manual and it doesn't list the crankshaft cap specs per se, I would go with something...

Welcome!

How many kms on it? Keen to see photos

My best effort was Kelmscott WA to Yungaburra FNQ in 4 day and 5hrs. No alcohol. No drugs. Plenty of sleep. When I'd get fuel I'd fill a couple of jerry cans, when I'd stop for a piss I'd tip the...

I've always been led to believe they were different.

Some people call Magpie Larks; Peewees and Silvergulls; Seagulls.



I don't get your point? Both links we shared shows ravens and crows as...

JV mechanical might be worth contacting, I follow them on fb, they're always doing something interesting to customer cars

As for feasibility, I dunno. I thought the 2.8 was a good motor. The diff...

what did you replace it with?
