Wurth brake cleaner is the bomb, I've got a few boxes stashed away. Wynns did a better deal (well, flies the service manager to Thailand every year) so we use their rubbish now. Their anti-rust spray is pretty decent too. Anything matte black on my GQ is Wurth. Hate to be paying for it thought! Be ...

Mine is gutless as, almost half a mill on the clock. Not too sure it has much power left to lose. I did an outback trip on 31"s without a drama. Would sit on 120 all day happily, wound it out to 150 without too much effort. In the bush on 32"s it was fine, didn't like hills but that was about it. I ...

I think I've actually overlooked something really simple. Turns out my fold up DVD screen had turned itself on, it did this a bit when I first got the car but hadn't played up since. Turned it off yesterday, started up first shot this morning. I've only used it once since I got the car so I'll just ...

dual battery dramas
Got a dual battery set up in the GQ, nothing fancy, bit of cable between them with a manual switch. Everything is powered off the main battery, if I turn the switch off it osolates the second battery. I usually leave it on, just turn it off of I'm parked with the radio on. Is this a bad set up or ...

Wyliesptarol, http://members.mcs.net.au/~grungle/endlessair.html has pretty much everything you need to know. If you can find a 7 piston Sanden comp, but they're a bit thin on the ground. Self serve wreckers are the gop, they were a common fit for aftermarket AC in the 80's. I found a 508 on a RWD ...

Put it back in after I got an open circuit with the two terminals, wouldn't throw out though. Then the motor stayed on which lead to the quickest nut removal ever. Pulled the whole thing out, rotating terminals I could either get it to the throw out or an open circuit between the terminals, couldn't ...

I think I've found the problem. I took all the nuts off the solenoid terminals to clean it all up and the terminals move in and out about a quarter of an inch. With both terminals in all the way they short out, pull them out and it's open. I've put them back, will throw it on tonight and see if it ...

TD42 starter issue
I've been having some problems of late taking a bit longer to start. Used to start bang on half a turn but lately it's been taking anything from 5 or 6 plus turns. Did a search and it seems RS brushes in the starter are a common problem, pulled it out and stripped it, everything seemed ok just a bit ...

GQ front panhard brace recall
What was the exact problem behind it? The factory panhard mount coming completely off?
I'm putting onboard air on and running a second compressor below the injector pump. It's fouling on the brace, wondering if it'll be alright to grind a bit of meat off the brace.

That's the one you want.
94 build will have Smartlock which will give you dramas. Either find a non-smartlock ECU (pre october 92) or Ford sell a bypass unit.

Injector pump rebuild/injector reco TD42
The injector pump on my GQ is absolutely pissing out so it's time for a rebuild. Got quoted $1800 for pump rebuild and reco injectors, with me ripping everything off (got no dramas doing that). That run of the mill pricing? Also got quoted $500 to supply and fit a boost comp. Debates over if they're ...

When I got my Patrol it had a bit of a pong coming from inside so I ripped the lot out and cleaned it. The felt on the carpet was all damp so I just ripped it off. Floor was cracked around the rear seat mounts as well. I just left it as the rear seats don't get used but I'll fix it whenever I've got ...

Wheels and tyres are ok. I'll throw a set of bushes at the panhard rod this week and see what happens. They don't look the best but they certainly aren't completely stuffed. Does anyone know the procedure for wheel alignments? The drag link isn't adjustable so I just lined the passenger wheel up ...

GQ front end vibration
Got a nasty vibration from the front end in my LWB GQ. May or may not have something to do with pulling air on Tuesday, but I did on Tuesday at some point that's for sure. Don't know when exactly as I wasn't doing high enough speeds to notice it til I got back on the highway. Starts getting ...

Any signs a TD42 will show that it's on it's last legs? Or nothing other than a comp test?
What about the RB30s? As gutless as everyone makes them out to be? For the price of slapper VLs these days I imagine an EFI conversion wouldn't be too expensive, but are they any good off road without a turbo?

Looking at buying a GQ
Hey guys, Done a bit of a search and answered a few of my questions, but still got a few. Looking at spending about $4000-$7000. Looking at 88-91 LWB diesels, will settle for the right dual fuel though. Don't want anything crazy yet, just looking for something that can get me camping, hunting and a ...
