What did you do to your Patrol today!

[nissannewby]

Near identical size mate, been running perfect until -10C temp trip :-(

Vacuum is one of the harder things to keep. So it is possible the colder temps has brought out a defect in your system. You will need to check all connections. Even some of the capped ports that exist in the vac systems on these.

Was it an instant fault or progressive?

a phone call,booked her in for a airbag refit...i do like her airbags,,,no just to fix that front end wobble...worse on rough roads....

Cheers Mat mate, definitely started progressively I felt/think. Morning reversed up to the snow fire area to collect/stockpile wood for camp move next night and had to use handbrake to stop prior to a tree smash @ 1kmph :-( Unsure of the rest of that morning as brakes weren't used until back below 1200m snow level. Was warmer there and all was sweet until the arvo hauling logs back to warm river camp. Drive home was toe tapping Rev's up needed fun Monday :-)

Do you know what type of pump the vac pump is? You either have a leak or an issue with the pump. If its a vane pump the vanes might be sticking a little from possible corrosion from condensation/ice and the revs then throws the vanes out as rpm increases. Does the problem also effect the clutch?

[MB]

Clutch is definitely affected too mate, same timeline too I feel :-( The vac pump I'm unsure of its make but is the new GQ4.2 170 amp high vac jobbie Phil kindly found for us on Ebay.

We'll be heading from Perth across the Anne Beadell, then up to Old Andado and across the Madigan line, ending up at the Gold coast for a wedding. Then up to Fraser Island for 5 nights and back via Alice,West Macs,Uluru, Great Central rd. The route home is not set in stone yet, but we have all the permits required for the route West-East. We are leaving on Sunday or Monday, so counting the sleeps now. The trip is just the missus and myself solo vehicle, and we are both looking forward to a decent break from the routine.

WOW...... Just WOW!!!!! What an Extraordinary trip that is. Ticking Boxes everywhere you go there sir. Have a great time and travel well.

Fitted a power window relay delay timer. Works well, but it doesn't work on the drivers window. Strange as to why. I pulled the relay out and the drivers window still works, but the other three don't. Hmm. I'm sure I can bypass the drivers window via the switch itself...
