Well today I picked up a 1999 Patrol GR SE Touring 2.8

Really nice car to drive, i love the beefy sound to the engine, and it feels bigger than the disco I used to drive.

However, there are a few problems.

The fuel gauge has started to take a life of its own. Yet, I have a reciept for the sender etc being replaced in Jan 08 for a total cost of £400+!

The pump for the headlamp washers will run for 5seconds when you turn the ignition on.

Only the front drivers door speaker and tweeters work.

NATS system is unplugged but flashes the lights when plugged in, assume I need to get a master key of some sort.

4H will not engage, lever just wont move back, yet the light comes on and then will suddenly go off.

Car needs ignition to be left on for about 8-10seconds after the heating coil light goes out before it will start easily. Otherwise it cranks over for a few seconds and has poured white then black smoke out the back. Doesnt smoke when running though.

Anyone have any ideas to any of the above problems?

I'll put some pictures up tomorrow, for now I have this one:
