Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Okay thanks- Will do search for another seller.

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.

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.
