T-Doug's U-Boat

[terranosaurusdoug]

This my new truck, I couldn't bring myself to buy a jeep :lol
It's a 2003 Shogun, that's the domestic version so not an imported one which are called Pajero, which means it has a locking rear differential :D:D:D:D it's a LWB commercial with the 3.2DID engine, supposed to be good motors.
It's loads bigger than my Terrano with lots of space in the boot, LOTS of space :thumbs
I will post some better pics when I actually have the vehicle

Sorry to see the demise of your T2 Mark but after your epic water sail it was only to be expected, you would have loved a Patrol but sadly few and far between, good luck with the new one, fraid I know nothing about them, happy new year, Rick

She looks good! Shame that the interior has been neglected by the previous owner. :( But it hopefully worked in your favour regarding a good price. :p

How many miles has she done?

You and FerdiNL can start a Shogun section on the forum. :D

Oh yeh I forgot he had one :thumb2

Done 124k, interior is mainly dirty, a vacuum will get the majority it, I think there is a bit of trim missing in the boot.
Has an adjustable arm rest :D:thumbs
Can't wait to get my wheels from the Terrano on, those ones look stupid, like buttons.

[terranosaurusdoug]

I put my Terrano wheels on the Shogun today, bigger tyres and same 16" wheel size, more negative offset than standard though, they are just right I reckon :thumbs

And I found out why the arches are flat on the top :D

Looking good mate:thumb2

[terranosaurusdoug]

Hi all, I've renewed my membership and laid my tenner, cos I know you're all desperate to know how I'm doing with the Shogun :lol
It's a fantastic vehicle and the 3.2DID engine is awesome :thumbs
Not done a great deal with it but I have some pics for you guys.
I've bought some some service items for it and an oil pressure sensor which I will change when I do the oil filter.
I believe the sensor is leaking a bit of oil, a common issue apparently.

I have put some drawers in the back that I found in one of our old vans at work, ball bearing runners, not mega heavy but heavy duty enough to last.
I think I am going to use rivnuts to secure them to the floor.

[terranosaurusdoug]

I have also fitted a sink :D
These get fitted to the exterior of trucks so pretty tough things, it has a heating element in it but it's 24v, we wired one up to 12v today and it still heated the water, and it's got a voltage sensitive relay in it that turns it on at 13.something volts and off at 12.something volts, even though it's a 24v unit.
I haven't wired it yet though.
I've put it where the tool kit went.

nice one, there was one of the Pajero's out with us on the weekend and its very capable truck. Hope it serves you well.

The bloody thing has broken down :lol

[terranosaurusdoug]

Well, its bloody broken, injector pump is completely knackered, I've just ordered a 2nd hand one for £850.

Took me about six weeks to break it, just driving normally. It took six years of ABUSE to kill the Terrano :lol

[solarman216]

Bosch or Zexel. AH sorry thought you were talking Terrano, Rick

[solarman216]

Should have got a Patrol, Rick

[elty001]

Should have got a Patrol, Rick

If i was going to spend that sort of cash i would be buying a land cruiser:augie

[terranosaurusdoug]

Not after the trouble you've had with yours :lol

Sounds like a right pain in the arse.
Was it a mk3 like mine??

[panelbeater]

n reg what mark that is i do not know.he had a intermittent ip leak but he ran through brake fluid and that seamed to have swollen the seal and stop the leak for a long while then it would do it again so another dose.his main problem was towing up hills as the temp would rise,he did everything to stop it and finally did,he had it 10 years.

I think that is mk2, I think they were known for those sorts of problems, especially head gasket.

A second hand ip has arrived at mine today so I will get it tested and set to TDC.

[Barrbeast]

Yeh that'll have been a mk2.

2.8 were the ones that were meant to have head problems but tbf mine was a 2.8 and she put up with some abuse and never caused too much bother - although I was always quick to fix the few wee issues and there weren't many, alternator and water pump were all in 2.5 years of dailying :nenau

[panelbeater]

no water cooled egr on mk2 water cooled egr on mk3 solved the problem.

Ah egr on mine had been blanked off by a previous owner
