I've got a boost gauge on mine and the max I see is 15psig, mines is an electrical sender gauge. So you are reading slightly higher. Mines is taking the reading from the back of the intercooler just before the throttle body Is you gauge mechanical or electrical and where is it taking the...

Hi Dave how's things? If I remember right monroe say you should change your shocks every 20k miles. Every car including 4x4's that have done more than 20k when I get it, get a new set as a matter of course and you notice the difference straight away. I've found when they are shot the 1st...

Glad your sorted:thumb2 had a feeling you had a grenade when you first started getting the overheating problems:eek: Thats why I got a 2.8 TD6, knew about the early 3.0ltr problems and at the time couldn't afford a later 3.0ltr:nenau. :)

:nenauHi guys, I suspect the DMF on my patrol is about to go south:doh Does anyone know how much free play there should be between the 2 masses of the flywheel????? Mines has developed a vibration when towing the caravan, when going 40ish in 5th and you put the boot down it develops a nasty...

Not even run in yet:lol Mines is 115k

Good:thumb2 How many miles is on the clock?

When the heads off get it checked for cracks, as I've read it can happen on 3.0 TDI engines even if the gasket is ok.:nenau I've got a couple of issues with my Patrol at the moment, not an overheating issue but a vibration issue when towing caravan:eek: Just came back from South of France...

Thats about right. I started with 200mls for the first couple 40ltr fill ups then dropped it back to 100mls One thing to remember is do not use fully synthetic 2 stroke as it doesn't mix with the DERV. I'm sure you've read that and it costs too much anyway:thumbs

Did you get to the bottom of the overheating????? :nenau

DO NOT USE SVO in a Patrol or you will kill the pump and injectors. Its a more modern engine that whats in a T2. I've been using 2 stroke in my Patrol for over a year and it does make the engine quieter, don't notice any change in MPG, but anything that protects the pump must be good, sulphur...

Don't think clutch slip is the issue here, if it was slipping you would know about it. Engine reving and car not pulling. If you suspect head gasket or crack in head/block, take it to a workshop that has a radiator pressure tester. How they check it is by connecting tester run, engine from...

Does the coolant smell of combustion gases. The rad is easy to remove from a Patrol. Remove fan cowling take hoses off, remove top 2 brackets and it lifts out. As for checking to see if its choked, you can only back flush it or get it checked by a radiator specialist for flow rate. If the...

I've never stuck a thermometer in my top hose or expansion tank:nenau But they don't sound hot:augie

Transmission Tunnel should get warm, but you shouldn't get heat in the cabin that burns you. Have you checked under the consul to see if it has a bust gaitor seal. Easy to remove its only held on with self tappers. If you get gear oil make sure its is GL4 spec not GL5 or all the brass in...

opens at 82degC Just so peeps know the thermstat on a Patrol is located in the bottom hose of the radiator not the top hose as is usual on most engines

If you haven't bought the waxoyl yet. Do a google for Dinatrol as its better than waxoyl. :thumb2

Try Sureterm, you used to get a discount for being a member of this club. If I remember right they don't bother with NCD and you haven't got any to speak of, must be worth a phone call;) :thumb2

Bust gaitor letting heat into cabin. There are proper rubber gaitors underneath the ones you can see on the gearstick. If I remember right the T2 gaitors are bolted on with 6/8 self tappers underneath the consul. :augie

The 2.8 MAF's are on ebay sometimes They cost about £70/£80. The MAF is not bosch its hitachi:doh RD28ETI MAF <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Part Number 22680-31U00 Sometimes listed for Infiniti/maxima models. :thumb2

Another thing to check is the Radiator Caps. Have you got them in the correct place?????? The cap on the radiator has no spring, just a bare cap. The one on the expansion tank has a spring on the let water in/out as required. Has someone put them on in the wrong places. If you buy new caps...
