Hodge's new 4.2

[Hodge]

Super cold this morning and no issue at all . I dunno. .. it's messing with my head .
Car is now shelved for 2 weeks and then it's in for a clutch and I'll fill it with the oil you suggested.

Yeah. Leave the oil for a bit after the new clutch to see if the event still happens. No point changing it if it does turn out to be the clutch.

You could take out the lsd and put an air locker in to see if that fixes it

Yeah definitely I'll see what results the clutch gives and the I'll go from there .

I've actually got a front locker with my name on it still waiting for me at ARB which I had to postpone due to clutch now.

Suspension. Check rear pinion angle. Run a double cardan joint on the rear shaft.

Even going back to standard height will aleviate it.

Not related to my car, but thought I'd mention it...
Worked with a bloke today who owns a 2002 gu 4.2. He mentioned his awful gear chatter noise began after a 2 inch lift and was pretty bad.
Apparently it is now much better after fixing the pinion angle with some upper arms and flipping the shaft around.
No Idea why the shaft flip, but thumbs up Mat ! Remembered your comment on this when the bloke told me this was his fix.

On a slightly more interesting note this car had just under 640k on clock ! I couldn't believe it. It did have a chassis swap at around 400k.
Highest I've personally ever seen on a Patrol , maybe even on any vehicle.

@Hodge what kind of tyres are you running on the patrol?

My brother in law just purchased a new ford ranger and was looking at purchasing an aggressive all terrain type, and I recalled you had something similar and we're happy with them? Cheers
