Hume hwy a Patrol in front of me begins blowing tons of white smoke... Slowly coming to a halt to the side. I pull over to help as to me it smelt like a fire more than anything...
Family towing a camper on their way to QLD, just left home hours prior. Turns out their Patrol was running like shit on and off whole morning and they were borderline panicking. His poor wife had a gutful and was in tears. 2 kids on board.
ANyways they had their pre trip service and a few things replaced 3 days ago! He had the receipts in the books with them and I noticed one of the items replaced was the MAF sensor... Aha!!!
Walk over to the intake and lo' and behold the whole sensor assembly is hanging out by the wiring completely !!! Screws were not done up one may assume and eventually dropped out.


So sensor back in, we somehow done it up with a small screw driver as I didnt have any torx thingamajigs on me.
THey drove in front of me till Cragieburn pushing it hard and it drove like it should!! I just hope the sensor wasnt damaged while it was swinging around the engine bay and more so how much crap went into the intake and bypassed the air filter.


The bloke was just about crying in relief and thankfulness!
One famils holiday disaster averted... and off they go to Palms Cove. Half their luck!

ONe interesting thing though is the motor still ran and idled fine with sensor all the way out. Just no power and would not rev past 2000.
I thought that without the sensor the motor would not run at ALL. Hmmm .

Your a good bloke Hodge, coming to another Patrols rescue. We need more people like you out there.

It's the Aussie spirit mate, you try and lend a hand where one needs a hand shake ...
Today it just so happens, I used to own a crd Patrol and when I read his MAF got replaced I knew where to look. Otherwise I'd have been clueless and probably asked the forum.


I have a habit of pulling over when seeing people under a popped bonnet to say Hi. Especially Patrols.
Only once have I got told to f*** off and mind my own business. 4 years ago...

Took the kids on a solo daddy camp last night up at Murrindindi.

Pretty good spot actually, not too many hoons and a local Wallaby joined our camp, looks like he's pretty tame and well fed!



After I took this photo I realised Lachys tyre nearly caught on fire lol
