JTECs Patrol Progression( UPDATE on PG 6 )

[Matewis]

Hi JTEC,

Can you please help me with the code of the Coilpacks. Bought a patrol with a VK45DE engine and it started with a misfire right after i disconnected the battery to put it on charge. Might have to start looking at the coilpacks as that was my first port of call as well.

Hi

Here is a link to the units I got. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-8-NEW-I ... 2749.l2649

Hope this helps.

Awesome thanks a lot!!

The coil for the VK45de is the same as TB48de.
So most of the places (not stealers) in SA sells them under TB48.

Some updates on the old Trol


I wasnt happy with the 10j rim setup, I prefer an 8j and I love the look of Steelies. Got myself a new set of 15 x 8j -20 offset steelies from Charles on the forum.



Then had them resprayed black



Sold our ground tent setup and got a second hand Eezi-awn family RTT. Its big and bulky and I have lost roof packing space but for me the convience outways the negatives.



Made some small progress with the drawer system. Still nowhere near finished. Having used it a few times has helped decide where to modify to suit our needs.




As a temp option to handle the weight of the tent and rear drawer system etc I organised a set of used GU rated coils. When fitting I noticed that the previous owner had already lifted the car raising the coil base plates by 50mm. Not sure I like this but Ill decide what to do when I put proper suspention in.

BEFORE REAR


LIFTED FRONT

Starting to take some shape







The cover that came with the RTT was pretty dead so ended up buying a new cover from Eezi-awn. The new one is slightly larger but this alows for us to leave the bedding inside the tent when traveling.
