A bloke we know was in one of them carparks no worries.
When he left he pushed the button to open the gate, when it opened he started moving then the gate started to close.
He jumped on the brakes, the front went down and the back went up into a concrete beam. Not happy Jan.
The had it all on CCTV so they fixed it for him.
I worked out that on my last trip, I got 16.93l per 100k's.

Just checked it on the next fuel stop and got 14.63l/100k's. A bit different style driving, bit less weight, no rain/wet roads to contend with, and, I slowed down a bit. lol

Around 14l/100km is about my TD42, turbo and stock IP.
Drained the winch oil, found out it contaminated with water. Two pin size holes on the top ally housing. Whacked some epoxy, filled up with new ATF and it seems to be running much lighter now..sweet!

I had an awesome morning with my 15yr son we fitted our new snorkel to our beloved Patrol,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Doesnt get any better than that people,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The look on my son's face said it all,,,,,, he got stressed when he realized we were about to cut substantial holes in the guard!
His "thumbs up" approval after the job was completed!
And there he stands ready for service yet again!

Since installing the RecArc Isolator and an CustomRockers control switch, I noticed that the RedArc wont light up the filament type bulb. (Maybe I should have listened when the RedArc manual says only LED's...) Mucking around in the shed tonight I came up with this LED replacement.
First Pic showing version one... no go. Should have looked closer when pulling apart, Resistor got in the road of the switch actuator.
Second Pic version two: Winner!
Slightly brighter than original, next two pics show with both upper and lower lights on, only upper light has been changed to LED. Might have to play with the resistor value to change the brightness.
