Outer Limits 4x4 Board

is this a costly fix

Ihave a nh 3.0lt which on start up blows blue smoke but in normal running does,nt blow any any suggestions .

just got aprice from auto bhan $108 or if u want cheaper try a wrecker should be able to pick up good s/hand for about $40 , by the way ive got a 92 nh should be the same.

Don,t know much about these engines( 5cyl) are they any good.Its sitting in swb cruiser 1990 model.

I have a 92 nh lwb and am ready to replace front and rear shocks,any suggestions as to any particular brand.

Great video ,dont know it i would do that to my paj ,just shows you dont have to spend megga bucks to have fun.Did you see the dvd from last issue that wasn,t bad either.

a mate from work has just bought a 1989 patrol tb42 duel fuel .His problem is that once it has warmed up and criusing at around 100km it starts to miss fire.He has replaced the leads and the dizzy cap but still has the problem. any suggestions ?

I have a 1992 nh paj v6 (200,000 km) it has a slight miss at idle but apart from that it run,s like i dream any idea,s.

found problem the head is rooted which has spread to one the piston bores so iam up for a re build ,time to get rid of the patrol.Quoted at least $8 to $9000 to fix.

the coolant is coming out of the pipe of the over flow bottle , the temp gauge went from from about quarter mark and then up to just under top mark ,this just from idling for 5 mins then lifting revs to about 1500 for a few mins thats when temp shot up and coolant started coming from overflow bottle ...

My patrol (GQ) over haeted yesterday found top rad hose leaking,so i changed it and it is still over heating..iam losing coolant from the over flow bottle . i removed the rad cap once it had cooled down enough then let the engine run and it started to bubble up, could this mean i have done my head .

Thanks for ideas ive had it fitted and left everything there

getting a safari snorkel fitted to my gq (td42) . My question is do they normaly remove the pre cleaner and run apipe to the air cleaner or do they just leave it on.What would be better.

I FOUND PROBLEM THE RADIATOR HAD A BLOCKAGE , HEAD TESTED ALL CLEAR I ALSO PUT A NEW THERMO STAT IN.

I let it cool down and started it up with radiater cap of there were a few bubbles coming up iam thinking maybe head gasket ??

went out today for a short drive about 15km round trip,on the way home she over heated went from about 1/4 to 3/4 .when i got home i shut it of and you could hear the water gushing back into the over flow bottle,let it cool down and went for another drive but did,nt over heat got home turned herof ...

clutch checks out ok.One strange thing i was putting it away before (my drive way slopes)the hand brake was on started it up and it was shuddering ,sounds more like the mounts.

Just got myself a 1992 lwb gq 4.2 deisel.The problem is when i put in reverse and i am on a slight hill i get a shudder which goes away when i increase the revs.It also does it when taking of forwards but not as bad,could this be caused by loose or warn engine mounts.

Just purchased a 1992 gq ,both rear power windows are rooted they barely move.Are they easy to fix and any idea how much it would cost,i will have a go myself.
