Re: Cooked Ignition Coils

Hi Jakes, thanks for your response. I had long life sparkplugs fitted, which was in the vehicle for probably 2+ years, they said it should be changed every 90,000 Km. Thys Ellis has now changed the plugs with normal plugs when fitted the new coils. NGK PLFR5A-11 or LFR5A-11 as per OEM? As far as I ...

Re: Cooked Ignition Coils

Hi Alex, could not see anything on the coils, there were splash marks on top of the engine and under the engine cover, not much though. :wink: Were the plugs changed recently and are they correct for the coil spec? Coils will fail if the voltage can't get out of the plug. More than one coil at a ti...

Cooked Ignition Coils

I recently visited the Kruger Park. While driving, very hot day, I went through a small puddle of mud water. Shortly after, the engine warning light came on and the Patrol died on me. Trying to start it again with difficulty, the Patrol was misfiring badly. Drove to the nearest camp site, where I ha...

Re: Diff Ratios

I can also vouch for a ratio change. I have 33' tyres and also went the 4.1 ratio route. Now the 4.8 auto really comes into it's own. It's a totally different vehicle. It pulls well, and I can't wait to put my trailer on the back. Before the auto box always felt a little lethargic but feels much mo...
