    Today I finally got around to fitting the bonnet cable I've had here for a while. Easy job that went smoothly for once.

    Not so smoothly is the rear wiring.
    It's a mess of hacked in extra wires, old wires no longer used and several places where the wrapped had worn through were it rubbed on the chassis.
    Also found the rear crossmember with the tailights in it is completely full of mud.
    Which may have corroded a few things leading to a earth problem back there.
    Have to take it down to my mechanic to get the pintle off (need a rattle gun for the nuts, after 2 weeks of constant spraying they won't budge) then I can disconnect the lights, hose it out and re-wire it all properly.
    My neck already hurts thinking about lying under there for a few days straight!

    By all accounts, the 4BD1 is not fussy; any decent 15w40 Diesel oil will do the job. Being an old tech diesel - ie dirty but uncomplicated - I would think changing it regularly is much more important than using a particular brand. Castrol RX Super is popular - and is generally what I use as it's readily available at a reasonable price and has a good reputation. A quick search will give you plenty more options if you like. Some people report smoother, quieter running or less blowby with one oil over another but I can't say I've really noticed much difference when I've tried Mobil Delvac / Shell Rimula on my '85 550K klm old N/A. Blowby is good and it's always pretty noisy and harsh

    This is what I'm using. When on special it is NZD$100 and it has plenty in it to do the engine and gearbox twice.

    Also think I might grab one of these to go with it.

    Chris,
    I agree with the previous 2.
    I use Castrol RX Super in engine, gearbox and transfer case as recommended by most people on here. All good so far. SuperCheap has 20l for $120 at the moment-good value. As BadCo said you will need 20l for 2 services. If you have just aquired the beast you would be wise to change all the fluids straight away-you have no idea how long it has been standing outside. My gearbox oil was grey before I changed it.
    Regards,
    Phil B

    perentie doors

    Hi all, does anyone know how to adjust the top half of perentie door so it closes closer to the rubber, there are two bolts underneath- that Ive tried, doesnt seem to help, perhaps it needs a wegde rubber of some kind to push it inn a bit, i think it might have a slight bend- not sure thou....looks ok

    also does anyone know what the digial counter on the dash is for-how do you use it?

    thanks
    Robbo

    Robbo,

    The door tops are not adjustable but I have found that replacing the perished and hard door rubbers plus replacing the seal in between the door top and bottom helps. A bit of old fashioned brute force bending them back into position helped to.
    The do da on the dash is a trip meter particular to the RFSV. The normal Perenties don't have them. It should be connected to a hall sensor in the front brake pad. Just a more accurate form of the trip meter on the speedo.
    No idea how the wiring works, sorry.

    Cant say I have seen any that shut perfect, new seals will help close the gaps, as will extra sealing strips on the inside of the door tops. Plus little bending and you can adjust the top mount plate in and out also.

    While there are some nice images of garden tools being posted on the forum I thought I would ask the question as too what the 2 lugs with webbed straps wrapped around them on either side of my garden tools are used for. Is it for a high lift jack? Regards Warrick. [url=https://flic.kr/p/uyEA9J]
