Called in to the garage where my old girl is,awaiting engine transplant(can't get near the car lift as the other one is broken down and the owner and friend has to monopolise the other one to earn his living,quite rightly) and found some lowlife vermin has broken the lock on my fuel tank cover...

Bienvenue:thumb2

Any idea what it went for?

Hi Spinna,don't know if this helps but try going on e-bay France as a couple of weeks ago I saw a post for new plastic wings that didn't look too expensive.There is also a site here in France called Leboncoin which you can tap in Patrol GR and select whole of France,there are loads of...

Hi Bud and welcome.What part of New Zealand,my mum was born in Wairoa in the North Island? :thumb2

Over here in France they have a lot of central heating systems running on kerosene or diesel and the older tanks/systems I've seen have gauges quite similar to those so could have been for heating.If they're galvanised tanks more likely that as I would think for catering they would have to have...

Bad news,never knew the guy but like many others on here profited from his posts on here,very sad,condolences to his family.

Have you tried looking on Leboncoin nationally?Been looking at Patrols and parts(second hand mainly),even came across someone selling an Aussie rhd import for parts.

Now I know the exact bit I can check out the replacement engine,failing that I contacted the guy I bought it from and now I've translated the name I can check him out as he said he had quite a bit of stock.

Makeitfit,sent you a private message,I'm guessing it's not the power steering pulley but need to confirm before I get back to the guy,if you're still interested let me know.

Couldn't find Patrol GR on their site:confused:

I have a replacement Vectra whilst my Trol is in sickbay,it has similar symptons due to an oil leak,top it up and fine but when it's lost about a litre of oil this starts to occur,top it up and seems fine.I know the last owner was a bullshitter as I've found with the other minor probs so he...

The fuel is a bit cheaper over here but if you can go to the supermarket brands such as Carrefour,Leclerc,Intermarche,SuperU as they are on average 20 cents a litre cheaper than normal motorway/service station prices,the one exception being Elf who are around the same as the supermarkets:thumb2

Some b*****d broke my aeriel off parked at garage,not happy! There is a known fault on these on the earlier ones certainly,dependant on mileage,cylinder head/head gasket,the 5th and 6th pistons suffered from lack of oil and getting hot due to poor oil circulation,think they got over that but not...

Hi Makeitfit,bad news I'm afraid need my bottom pulley as not one with replacement bottom engine.The guy I bought it from has a spares stock so will contact him as he wants to know good sites in UK to buy from even if RHD(French!) and parts as cheaper than here.If you know of any other than...

I'll look to see what else I need,think you might have the better end of the deal!lol Maybe a big centre console lid/armrest?:augie

If anyone has got one of these they don't want laying around I'm looking for one.Don't know if left and right are interchangeable.As I'm in France work in the cost of postage:thumb2

I'm down in SW(33) nearest big town is Bergerac(24),had lots of rain down here too,ditches are usually pretty well maintained in fairness but shear volume of water running off the land is filling a lot of them up,the Dordogne is pretty high and certainly got a strong current to it.Back garden...

Seeing where you are I consider myself lucky!Which dept are you?

Uuurghhh!
