 In a couple of days I’m going to meet up with a mate of mine in Darwin.
 He owns a D3, and he and his wife are towing a caravan around Australia, doing the grey nomad thing.
 I thought I’d pass on some of the wisdom I’ve learnt so far on this site.
 
 Heres a few tips I’ll pass on -
 1) Peterpam had water in his fuel and it buggered his motor.
 Brian Hjelm, Roadwarrior, and Piddler said to fit a Racor filter.
 Seems to me like it would be worth every cent. Apart from the cost of an engine, being stranded half way between Darwin and Perth because of a tank full of bad fuel would seriously ruin your day !
 2) Bushwanderer had electrical problems cased by a faulty transfer case ECU. CaverD3 said the ECU was susceptible to water, and he coated his with Plasticote.
 3) WA Darryl had a problem with his audio system. Scouse, and Brick, said to disconnect/ reconnect the battery. WhiteD3 also added to hold them together for 10 secs after disconnecting. Maybe resets the computer ?
 
 Any other simple tips I can pass on ?
 
 Thanks John
