got my fairline bonnet scoop and contemplated how good it will look on the patrol.
got my fairline bonnet scoop and contemplated how good it will look on the patrol.
Went and bought 20lt of delo400, two new ryco filters a couple of cans of degreaser and did my first oil change since owning the Patrol.
pulled the sub tank pump out and replaced it with one from the wreckers (bloody rip-off merchants) plus an in-line fuel filter before the pump... Drove 12klms and saw more metal filings in the new filter....aaaarrghh! Gonna have to drop both fuel tanks and clean them out proper when I get back from a trip tomorrow. Taking spare filters though. Should be right...
On a positive though, I also fitted HID kits to my two spotties - nice! Think I need to change the bulbs down to 5000k from the current 6000k that came in the kit.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.
Well I had an up and down day with the car. Front diff is back in place. LH radius arm, brake calipers are in, panhard rod in..
BUT..... :banghead:
The bloody RH radius arm thread is plucked.. It looks like it was cross threaded by last last person.. PITA... So I'm going to try a die and see how the thread goes.. If no good which I suspect will be the outcome due to fine thread, will mean a new radius arm..
Apart from that hold up, the rest went in well..
