Re: Diff-Lock Vacuum Solenoid Issues

Excellent. It works! I had been looking for a microscopic spring to fit in that recessed section, but the BIC spring is the size of the piston OD and looks like it will work even better than OEM. I didn't think of trying a larger spring the size of the piston and sleeve. Thanks a million for the tip...

Re: Diff-Lock Vacuum Solenoid Issues

There are tiny springs inside the solenoid. One of mine was scrap rusty pieces when I opened them up. And the parts lay on a counter top while I searched for a replacement spring over the following weeks, and in the interim the other spring also went missing. :rolleyes:

Re: Cost of ownership

Two things from my point of view.

On any Patrol, use OEM or OEM spec coolant only
On 4.8 GRX, use OEM or OEM spec transmission fluid only

Quite an expense for those, and a mission to find generic equivalents to save a buck, but that's just how it is. Everything else though is much of a muchness

Re: The costs of having a Petrol vs Diesel

That's very true. But locals are up to speed on local fuel deliveries etc and keep cans of juice for personal use with their bikes. You don't want to pitch up a filling station and the bowser is only coming to fill up next week. Speaking largely about northern Moz now, where my most common fuel hass...

- Diagnose and fix rear diff lock
The diff-lock solenoids get rusty inside, usually just the bottom one, and the piston sticks. First thing to check.

Re: The costs of having a Petrol vs Diesel

Spike, do you think diesel is better up north due to availability of diesel or consumption? For me yes. Where ever truck traffic goes you're guaranteed to get diesel. It might well be different for somebody who sticks mostly to busy routes that have regular tourist and local traffic. I can go for w...

Re: The costs of having a Petrol vs Diesel

I can understand the diesel vs petrol A vs B cost comparison for the average guy in a mix of city and leisure driving, but horses for courses. Type of use and availability of fuel are a big factor, for both cost and functionality. You need a petrol trok in your fleet if you want to drive dunes (Cape...
