Hey guys
Be gentle as its my first post over in the dark side

The 3 litre TD GU Patrol with all there problems....Is there a particlular build date onwards where the problem is no longer an issue and I can buy a second hand one with relative surity that its not going to cark it

Dazz

Arh yes, there is something cool about 40's

Here is my old 40 just before I sold it last year, I believe it is now in several pieces all over the place

Well this explains my recent problem with a brand new Ryco

I would say a second hand Tirfor would be a better buy. I have had one but sold it when i got a electric winch. The thing is most hand winches would not have been used very often as they are f&*king hard work.

Dazz

Thanks mate, I will swap it tomorrow

I accidentally picked up a 24volt relay instead of a 12volt relay, can I still use it for driving lights on a 12volt car

I went to a power steering place local to me to get a commodore pump to Landcruiser 40 box hose made up, cost around $80

I thought is was you who bid on my shocks


BJ

Might be worth asking the question on www.ih8mud.com.au


BJ

Go and see a Locksmith (not a "key cutter") and get a key cut to code NOT DUPLICATED this would be a good start, then graphite as already said, if this is no good locks will need to be rekeyed.

BJ

Give Paul from cockatoo canvas a try 0409 09 27 41 www.cockatoocanvas.com he made mine or better still buy my 40 and i will throw the bikini top in for free

I know this is a old thread but is there any more pics floating around, mainly re the actual column mods

BJ

I have searched and searched this and other forums but I still dont under stand the following. I am changing my OEM 40 power steer to 60 series I have the 60 stuff and 75 tierods but i am confused on the actual steering column mods. From what I have read i need to source a 55 column but would like ...

When you say "hard to turn" do you have to jiggle it from the off/locked position or the actual turning of the key.


BJ

Very good question, I dont know the answer though. I to noticed this when I put my landcruiser rims on the wifes Jackaroo. I didn't like the way the bolts were hoding the weight so got tyres swapped to the OEM Jackaroo rims. Don't know if it was a problem or not as 2wds and some commerical vehicles ...

I have a box of "bend over for your examination" latex gloves for the oily stuff, hate the smell of diff oil on the skin, the wife dosn't much care for it it either

Sorry for highjack although it maybe relevent, how did you shorten it.

BJ

At 2500kay why would one say that it was "serviced by a diesel mechanic at regular intervals"??? What did he do service it everytime it went out of the shed? Something isn't right there... MAybe he serviced it on the time past not milage, like when ya service book says, service due xxxxxkm or 3 ...

BJ

Sorry for the high jack but are you doing a 60 series power steering conversion? As I am just about to do one on mine.

I'd just buy one with the mods already done I reckon

There location varys a little from store to store but generally around where ropes, screws are.


BJ

Wow that is cool, certainly wouldn't want to do a DIY install on that stereo.
