Oh I love my Patrol, now that flat spot has been eliminated it drives superb, but I want more, so will keep playing, but in view of the new MOT rubbish coming in will keep notes so pre MOT can set it back to as was, Rick

Bit smokey is she Rick? :lol

My understanding is the new emissions rules are more for newer cars than our Trols. Tbh I doubt the tester will know enough about the Trol to realise the pump etc has been tweaked :nenau

what Rob said Rick!!! :thumb2 Your tester probably isn't as clued up as us guys which is scary really considering he's meant to be the "certified professional"
 
Pulled the cluster out today to check for PCB probs, only problem is it does not have one, the three screws that hold the rev counter in are also it's electrical connections and they were not very tight but not sure if they were loose enough to cause a poor connection, certainly when it was playing around and I thumped the dash it made a difference, now it is reassembled bashing it makes no difference and it seems to be working fine at the mo, re the pump there are more wires going to it than I can account for, so will be needing to look at the diagram, odd also that it has a throttle position sensor on it and a diagnostic port in the drivers footwell, but hooking up ecutalk gets no readings and an error when asking for fault codes, so baffled on that one for now, but still pulls like a train and so far no hint of smoke, Rick
 
That's odd. I would understand if it was for a y61 with a fly by wire throttle, not a cable. Looks like they covered all bases.

Glad you're loving the troll. The 2.8 is a great engine. Silky 2.8 smoothness. Just don't let it ever overheat. Admit the coolant system and radiator in regular maintenance :thumbs
 
Think Rayf is the one to ask on this, will check when he was last online, Rick

Thats interesting about the diagnostics port Rick, is it the standard 14 PIN CONSULT II port? Does shorting the 2 pins out as on the Terrano make the EML light flash codes on the dash?

Against the odds I found the tiny eml bulb that I de-soldered in a drawer, I found it almost straight away couldn't believe it :thumb2 Just a little update :D

Did not try that but doubt it will work as on ecutalk when accessing fault codes it said error, am pretty sure it does not have an ECU, interesting as well is allonside the standard 14 pin connector is another that I do not recognise, will take a pic of it tomorrow but I think this is just an overlap of loom construction, Rick

Look forward to it Rick, I'm learning a lot about the earlier Patrols already thanks to this thread!! :thumb2 :bow
 
If it has an unused tps, maybe the pumps were set up to suit both manuals and autos? Either that or it has had a pump replacement from an auto? :nenau

My 4.2 has a diagnostic plug but I'm fairly sure that's just for the autobox tcu as there's nothing else complex enough apart from the glowplug controller... and that doesn't work (manual switch) :lol

Not sure what else your 2.8 would have to need a diagnostic plug. Unless they use one harness built to suit both autos and manuals?

You going to try and resolve that on yours Rob or you going to leave it manual?

That seems most likely to me Rob, but whatever what a truly lovely motor now I have the flat spot eliminated, I really enjoy driving it, Rick
 
Y60 won't have an ecu.

I know if you ditch the electronic fuel pump on the y61 and fit a throttle pedal with cable you can ditch the ecu so I doubt the y60 has one. All wonderful manual ��

Yep that is what I got, tweek galore, Rick:thumb2:thumb2
 
This is the odd plug I have on the same dangly bit of wire as the normal 14 pin diagnostic one, I am thinking that it is for Auto box diagnostics on those that have Auto, rev counter played up again today it died completely, thumping the dash hard flicked it up and down then it started working normally again but not completely convinced, Oh and when booting hard at low revs before she is fully warm produced a nice black cloud, but hot cannot get it to do it so will be looking into cold extra fuel sensor etc, Rick

Yeh that's what I've got although it's a bit redundant tbh as you can put the autobox into diagnostic mode fairly easily and just read the flashes of the POWER light.
