Dear All,
I just wanted to thank you for your input and making this community do-able.....i have done well over 2000km's in the old patrol and although other parts of the beast need love it is running better than ever ....took the boss, some friends (from vic) down south to dunsborough, and the truck performed well was concerned that the cold morning was going to leave me standing on the drive, the morning we left but no, was in the minus during the night (a few weeks back) and she fired up no dramas.
And as for fuel filters i put one in 500k's before 2000km's mark as i am a lazy bugger and couldn't be arsed doing it at the side of the road with the mrs chewing my ears .....but i probably could have gone another 1000 as the old beast only wouldn't play last weekend when i had consistantly run her low for two days and she carked it not far fom home new fuel filter and all is well one week on .....so 100% (minus meth/caustic) bio rocks my world thanks guys
