I also asked on the patrol forum but gave up after i was not allowed to post the above....

Man, that place has gone completely to crap.........

I wouldn't immediately discount the gauge. The values may be up because the oil rings may be worn (and potentially causing the blowby). Did you do a wet test? You didn't say originally that these reading were over specification. How far over are they?

One of the best ways to check a diesel engine ...

Every engine has a certain amount of blowby, some more than others but they can still be OK. By design the rings cant hold it all in hence the positive crankcase venting system.

How much oil is it using?
Is it coating the inlet tube to the point where it is dripping oil?

If its negligible to ...

Normally you cant, piston manufacturers put the least amount of stress raisers they can on the piston. Im surprised that ACL pistons have the reputation for cracking. I have used them all of my mechanical career with no issues. Mind you, I have not rebuilt every engine either.

Narva 74420 - is what you need.

Sweet, thanks Bru.

I just heard brack from thema nd they are going to give me a credit or exchange.

They dont really ahve any other lights that I want so I might just exchange this set because of the problem bolts and put the ...

Well I decided on these:

Well wasn't that a let down, local Repco didn't have them on stock so they ordered a "kit" in for me. Turns out a "kit" is one lamp with a globe.

I guess in this day and age of every body trying to get their hands deep into your pockets I should have expected no less.

Thanks Guys.

I did (after our last convo about them) but they were out of stock.

Back in stock now it seems. Is that 200 per light?

Dont make me go over to ........ gasp........I cant bring myself to say it.......4WD Monthly Forum or what ever that place calls itself now.......

So, does anyone have these: http://www.myhellalights.com/index.php/default/auxiliary-lamps/halogen-lamps/rallye-4000/rallye-4000-fog1/

They are slightly different to the normal 4000 (dimensions are almost exactly the same) but ...

Quite often, with a little ingenuity, the irreparable can be repaired. I take it the pulley doesn't seal the compressor?

Bahahahahaaa

Hehehe, its the one thing that puts me off those round ones. Although those ones do have a nicer body than most.

Do they look as ugly in real life as in the pic?

What, like this:

Hey guys, on the underbody plates thing, I bought some Tough Dog ones for it (ARB are just too dear) and all I could get was the Navara ones. Now the third plate wont fit because there are some diagonal braces on the chassis at the rear of the cross member behind the engine.

Does yours have these ...

Yep, you are being unreasonable. Electronic things can fail at any time and it was obviously at the end of its life. How many KM does your car have on it? Obviously more than 100,000 due to the timing belt change.

If they happened to bump it or whatever and caused it to fail, it was because it was ...

Mate, I don't want to be an arse here but do yourself a favour and buy something else.

They were a nugget when they were new and have not gotten better with age.

I have had 120Ys that have been more capable 4wds than them.

Seriously, put your money into something better.

Awesome read.

Thanks mk!!! Awesome answer!

I'll make some up!


Hehehehe, before you do give TMR a call. I just had a look at the child restraint section of the NCOP.

It seems they only allow 5 different variations of un tested anchorages for modified vehicles and the one you would most likely need is the ...

Bru, you will have to be careful of the seat if you do that. Once you go below 100mm below the top of the seat then the seat need to be able to withstand the load as well. Quite a few cant if it wasnt designed as such.

In regards to the bracketry, you can make it yourself. You can permanently fit a ...

Its a little disappointing that (not in this thread but others ive read) people whine and complain regarding rollcage materials, that they cost too much etc when they are more than happy to fork out more for a set of alloy beadlocks or coilovers but not the safety aspect of the vehicle.
