Thread: Finally back on the road and cool runnings.

Fresh fluids all around, steering wheel now at 12 for straight ahead a few relatively inexpensive parts fitted and my perentie ffr is now running very well indeed. In many ways it feels like fresh truck just run in for me. The gearbox is now much smoother. Unfortunately fuel sender unit must be replaced ( it worked temporarily after a tinker) and the heater fan seems to have died today. Could this have something to do with water in the vent during wash rinse last night? I tried to avoid blasting it directly but surely it's just coincidence and it can handle a little water. Any thoughts from someone in the know would be appreciated. The levers to operate the heating and air especially the fan speed don't operate with the authority of action that I would like mabey it's that. Another thing I have noticed is that the passenger side vent on the window for heating blows at a higher and I believe possibly hotter temp that the drivers side. The heater in general has proved to be acceptable but not very good so far but obviously now is non existent. When I say acceptable I mean a normal person would say this heater is **** lol.

and it has worked fine now for 3 years

Im looking at my $470 new fuel sender unit. Looks like it should be worth $32 from Bunnings. How much did you end up getting out of the problem for?
