What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Yeah I spoke to them the other day they told me they put the price up as there low on stock but there's a few others on eBay selling em for around 200

I replaced the rubber on mine that had disintegrated years ago with an inch of heater hose. Then last year did pretty much what you have, except I turned the nut down to a loose fit, and then fitted a thin rubber sleeve on it and used bearing lock to make sure it stayed in the knob. Also provided a locknut to allow it to be locked with the gearchange pattern correctly oriented.

Somewhat similarly (but maybe a little more agriculturally :)) I turned a hollow nylon plug with an interference fit both on the gearstick and the knob. Press fits in place nice and firmly.

Gday rar110 they are a 255/85 R16.

have you worked out the difference in the speedo and odometer with the larger diameter tyre/wheel combo ?

Are the glow plugs actually connected on the perenties - mine has keyed ignition so assume not- can't see any need for them unless in the snow.

Yes they do......not sure on the keyed version

Not really needed but do come in handy if the battery is a little flat and it's cold.

Gday cinan, The speedo is now correct. It was 10 km out at 100km/h. The odometer is now about 500 m to 1 km out over 100km. It was out about 7km per hundred. Seeya . Paul.

Added a few new stencils and refitted jack and tools and went for a drive in the woods.

What motivated you to put that stencil on your air vent flap-strange? Nice looking perentie though.
