Whilst your spending how about trying the 1VD-FTV

Yes its a 100, but surely the Patrol could swallow that engine too.

Any GPS that has a WinCE Backend can Run OziExplorer with all the maps you have/can get.

Its basically what the Hema guys do anyway but at a much reduced cost.

99.99% of the cheap Ebay jobbies have wince, so will run OziCE & there is your $900 GPS for less than $200.

Its VERY easy to setup.

With rear a/c and leather it sounds like an st-l model. they still have the st sticker on the side. No stickers on the GU4 4.2's If it is 4.2 it will be non computered, but may have ABS. GU4 4.2 has a computer that controls timing. But it can be unplugged & the car runs fine. If its Stock Standard ...

Thought about changing to one of the 12 pin plugs, they have some larger than normal plugs for higher loads.

Google is your friend here, but any caravan or boat place will have them. Id take it out & replace the piping too it to see if it will pump water then.

Also if there is an air leak in the line it wont draw any water.

Dad bought his at ARB so it must have been a safari unit.

Ill call Dad later to see if he can remember. I think it was an Airtek but where be brought it from wouldnt fit it, he had to go to a specialist 4wd place who were happy to do it.

There is a snorkel that will fit the Terrano 2. My Dad had one on his when he had it.

IIRC It was for a Ford or something, ill see is I can find the info again.

98 on Courier or Bravo snorkel, for some reason I was told by TJM to use the Courier model as there is a slight difference.

Dundubara has a group booking area. All you have do is ring the permit place. Can't remember the minimum amount of people to book the area but worth looking into if a large group was going. Checked that out too & it posed 2 problems. 1. You require the "Group activity permit" before you can book ...

Have you thought about Waddy Point ? probably harder to get trailers into.. but I'm pretty sure they would have enough sites ? Showers & Toilets. C Listed as only 4 Trailer Sites, when I called the EPA the other day they said that all other sites are have bollards :bad-words: So no chance of ...

we went for our anual trip in feb. camped at dundaburra. was a good spot. full facilities, close to the beach and pretty central to the whole island. Agreed! Dundaburra is a great spot. Far enough north to be away from most and has good facilities. A bit away from shops etc, but more often than not ...

So What about the current GU IV with 3.0. Are they same motor? Mostly, with mods too the injection & other bits I thought GU III at 2004 model should have fixed the problem in early 3.0 model ? Read the 1st page of exploreoz or Patrol forum, there is a guy there with a 2004. I still think that in ...

tyre sise.. well thats why :roll: 50mm tyre increase is allowed so why would that increase make it illegal? The overall diameter of any tyre fitted to an off-road passenger vehicle or a commercial vehicle must not be more than 50mm larger or 26mm smaller than that of any tyre designated by the ...

Best price I got was Lindsay's Tyres, but the guy down the road was $10 more for the set so I went with that as it woulda cost that in fuel & effort to get over too Lindsays. Lindsays were Lots cheaper than everywhere else I tried, including Widetread, which is a shame as they were always the best ...

I'd be going HF radio and Sat Phone before I worried bout lockers or a 4inch lift too... No need for both, but can do things with HF you cant do with Sat phone, ie contact people you dont know nearby if in need of help, weather & road updates free, message & travel tips free & many others. HF is ...

Steve PM when we can pickup.

Will you be looking at a direct replacement for the Top mount in the Tdi?

Ie keeping with the original hosing, position & size of the original top mount but putting one of these on there (With the extra bits that make it work of course)

Funny you should say that dads Jayco had 2 broken shocks & leaked dust badly every day on our Cape trip too.

Id be interested in a 55w kit depending on the Colour temp.

We understand that no form of caravan off-road or on will be able to handle the cape but is there one that should be able to handle the rest?? Says who? & are you talking Bypass road or OTL? Kedron took one of theirs up the OTL, if it wasnt so skinny I would have taken mine through it this year (At ...

Try if you like but people are still reporting issues with later model 3lt's, granted its less common but still happens.

A few places also sell direct IE Southern Cross Canvass.

Ive been quoted 800+ for a 3" dump back for my GU 4.2 turbo diesel anywhere in melb doing them cheaper than that http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23722 but as said, you wont get much cheaper than $800... thats a pretty good price. some are gettin quoted $1300 Id be getting quotes on ...

Everyone that I've spoken too does not reccomend it for a street registered car for legalities which doesnt bother me but also because they strongly say the ride will be compltetly shit which is bothering me a bit as im planning on going on a 5,000km + holiday early next year around some parts of ...
