Bit of an oh sh!t moment!
Checking the radiator levels for the dargo trip and it's all light poo brown which has freaked me out a bit!
Haven't checked coolant for a couple of a months.
Oil is all fine, perfect actually so just rust build up somewhere in the water galleys or radiator most likely?
Really!!!! Mate seriously I went to no less than 10 electrical wholesalers then Jaycar and a number of auto places. I even went to a car audio place. I did not come across a Single person that had ever seen what I was chasing and obviously No one stocked it. I spent hours googling and stumbled on a wholesaler in Hong Kong that had them. Once I identified what they called them I the back searched and came up blank.Originally Posted by Winnie

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.

Your not helping me mr Lucus...lol
You'll be right though, it only happens after a long drive, at altitude, in a river crossing.

Hello from Under Down Under!
Got the cooling system fully flushed today and found out the new high flow thermostat was not opening!
I have no idea how long that's been shut for but surely has only just happened?
Long story short, new coolant, new oem thermostat and water temps are perfect now!
