Hey Guys, just got my first patrol about 4 months ago for a good deal. It's a January 2007 GU, Common Rail ZD30, in manual with 270K km on the odo. Came with a Raslar Bar, 3" superior lift, Buds sliders, beat kings titan draws, 100ah lithium battery system, uhf, and what seems to be most of a TI conversion. No rego and needing a bit of work to get it in good "reliable" shape. Still no RWC as of yet but got one booked in a couple days from now, so we'll see what my mechanic says.
I've done all the work myself after having worked on cars I've previously owned. Figured if I wanted to get places where no ones gonna bother me while camping I'd need two solid axles and some grit.
Things I've done to it so far are:
The timing chain, of which i realised wasnt neccesary at all
All body mounts
All engine mounts
Coolant flush
Replaced fuel lines
New glow plugs
New drag link
Brass shifter bush
New power steering pump
New driver door hinges and what a job that was
Front end rebuild
Dropped it to a 2" lift
Larrikin Outdoors Floor install for some drawers down the line
small jobs
Now the reason I'm here making this post is because I'm chasing a parasitic draw on the battery. I've found the circuit, and the cabin fuse is "elec parts". When i pull this fuse i see a 200mah drop in draw from the battery while the car is off for a more than a day. key out, doors closed, all that jazz. I've checked it all don't worry. So now... I'm after some manauls.
Wish me luck!
Ferkus
