Bloody nothing...POS wont go no power...
Well here is a tip for young players, back in 1994 whilst on exercise, in a state forest, we had a 6x6 ambulance that ran low on fuel in the primary tank and was switched over to the secondary tank, after that the vehicle had no power.
Being a good mechanic, thinking the fuel filter was blocked we changed the filter, and sent it on it's merry way....a few days later the POS was back....low power....
So we decided to drain the fuel tanks, clean the inside, clean out the fuel lines....and again sent it on its merry way....a few days later it was back...:censored::censored::censored::censored:

I had a look at the parts manual too see if we had a spare lift pump, perhaps it was damaged from the dirt in the fuel.
It just so happens the lift pump banjo housing has a small fuel strainer in it....and was blocked....the parts manual for the 6x6 ambo engine did not show the filter, but the manual for the 4x4 GS did.
So if your Isuzu motor is down on power...check the filter in the lift pump banjo fitting.

Stripped the old canvas off today, went for a spin, wow it was hot in the cabin, yet less noise with it off, 4 hours later new canvas on very pleased, just got to re drill the holes for the rack.

Geez Juddy.
That canvas is a very good fit!
Is that NOS or the one you had made?

What did I do on my Perentie?
Got a Roadworthy and Pre Purchase Inspection for the immenent new owner :/

It's the one I had made, perfect fit even got Velcro on the flaps to stop them flapping in the wind.

Hi Juddy
Where did you get the canvas from and how much did it cost you?
Cheers
Tim

Interested in who did up your canopy too Juddy looks good! I'm thinking of a cover over the rops to windscreen that will roll up onto the windscreen,
