    Questions

    G'day guys, few questions about my gu3 ST.
    First one, how do I control the aerial for the radio? I have the switch there but it doesn't do anything. Currently the aerial goes all the way up and wobbles all over the place so the am stations don't work too well.
    Second question, the windscreen washer pump has gone and I need to replace it. I've seen them for $40 on eBay, called a couple of wreckers and they've also said $40. Anyone know somewhere to get them abit cheaper?
    Cheers guys!

    I am guessing here about your aerial, it might be an after market item and it may be the reason why it goes all the way up, or your switch is stuffed. Nissan aerials are around the $500 and they sell the little fender doodad separately, which is about $30. Wreckers are roughly half that price, depending on who you go to. A few people go for an aerial that bolt on to the bull bar and look similar to a cb aerial, work well apparently. I had an after market aerial on my GU and could only pick up one am station, fm stations I couldn`t. Since buying a Nissan item, I can only pick up fm stations and no am stations. Try Patrolapart for the washer pump and I have no idea if they have them or what the price is. Try buying them new if you can, that way you know what they are like. Try the easiest and cheapest option(s) first. That`s all I can offer and no doubt some one else with more knowledge than I can help you out.

    Do you have a switch on the lower centre console
    that allows the antenna to be half mast?

    I'm guessing on the aerial the switch that threedogs is referring too isn't working, or the connecting wires might have broken. As for the pump, I don't have one at the moment, but thats a pretty good price for what you have found...

    Ended up finding a pump new for $24 on eBay.
    Threedogs, yeah I have the switch for the aerial next to the cigarette lighter plugs in front of the gear stick, doesn't do anything!
    Also (probably should start a new thread), for anybody interested, I've taken my old job back at kings canyon resort so if anybody is passing through and needs any help with anything I have access to the work shop and car hoist, or if your looking for someone to have a beer with aswell. Just ask the girls at reception for Daniel or pup as they know me by and il be there.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    or antenna and disconnected the trigger{blue]
