@ mudski a while back there was a thread about oiled air filters and MAF sensors, might have even been from Chaz.
but it was a while ago
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
I just bought a parts car for $1500.00 ('97 GQ wagon) with a working motor. Woo Hoo! Finally after more than 12 months searching...
Now I get to learn a new trade....Diesel Mechanic.
Stay tuned. I will be parting out most of it to try and recover some of the cost. I will post a list of parts in the next week or so once I have them all out and cleaned up.
One step closer to getting my truck back on the road!
Cheers,
Rob
Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .
WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

Looking forward to the challenge actually. I have never attempted replacing a motor myself. Although with all of the info on this forum and out there in internet land I should be able to work out most of the details. If I get stuck I can always ask a question here.
The Idea is to drop in this working motor and get the truck back on the road. Then I can take my time and tear down my original motor and tick a box on my bucket list, that is to rebuild a motor myself (and hopefully make it work) once the motor, fuel pump and turbo have been rebuilt, I will drop it back into the Patrol. I might rebuild the older one for practice and sell it off. I wont get my money back on it all but I should get a fair bit.

Isn't that rediculous.....they stopped us getting big fuel discounts but what about holiday accommodation prices doubling in price over public holiday periods. I guess that's ok to rip us off as long as we don't let the discount thing get out of hand...
