I have a tb42 and return about 350km's to 90-95l on gas, on petrol i have only ever run 1 tank and i think I got about 250km's to 65l. TB42 is only worth it if it is on gas.

Hi there,
I had my 91 gq at a mechanic's (specialty --- patrols) and he said to set both exhaust and inlet at 0.33mm cold. After I adjusted mine to this it runs sweet.(gained an extra 100km's from a tank of gas)

Hi there, I am only new to Patrols (had mine for 8weeks) but it looks like a mod that can be done whereby each water jacket in the head has it's own coolant line. Once this mod has been done you GREATLY reduce the chance of stuffing the head. I know a mechanic who reckons this is a bad mod ( too ...

Hi Molch,
I had a similar problem with my 3.5l V6 manual 2001 Jackaroo and it was even worse on warm to hot days. Try replacing your fuel filter first, this would fix mine for a while then it would come back. It ended up being my fuel pump.

I replaced the fuel filter and could not believe how dirty it was. Checked the fuel flow and had about 300ml/15sec prior to replacing filter. After replacing had about 375ml/15sec. I checked the workshop manual and it states that out of the filter the flow should be at least 380ml/15sec. Would you ...

Layto,
Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a Jack so I guess I will have to find another way.
Vineboy, I removed/replaced the motor myself and had a motor rebuilder do the repair work.

It's been a while since I put up this post and I am still having problems on 30deg plus days. It has happened a few times since and the last time the motor started hiccuping at 2500-3000rpm and could not get revs any higher until I was in 5th doing about 80kph, and had to start dropping revs due to ...

Layto The guys at Holden drove it the next morning, once the weather had cooled, then put it on the tech2. As the problem was not there I didn't expect much from them, which is exactly what I got. The next time it happened they would not send anyone out as the car was about 20 - 25 mins away from ...
