The rear driveshaft on mine touched the tank. A little adjustment of the panhard, and a lovetap on the tank with a mash hammer, and it doesn't touch anymore.. :D

Depends on if the plate is on the side of the gearbox.

As for how much/where.. You could try Powauto in Dandenong (vic) - no idea how much. I paid $500 for mine from ebay, but that came with a winch & bullbar too..

Mine sits at about 1/3 most of the time. I've seen it get to 1/2 way up the gauge once, and that was boot to the floor on a long climb in 36+ deg temps.. The fan normally locks up somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 and drags it back down to 1/3 pretty quickly. Having said all of that, lots of people ...

It wouldn't suprise me. Expect 20+ L/100km on average. Mines up near 30L/100km at the moment, but it needs a tune badly.. :oops:

6 x 55w = 330w 330w @ 13V = 25.4A Factor in your normal headlights on high beam as well: 2 x 60w = 120w 120w @ 13v = 9.2A Just your lights will be drawing 34.6A. From the quick Google I did, it looks like you've got a 45A alternator? How much do you want to spend? Though about 35W HID conversions?

If you're running around close to civilisation, go for the dual fuel. Cheaper to buy, cheaper to run. If you're really heading bush (Canning Stock Route etc), go the diesel.
