    Back in the fold with a 2011.5 AB

    ..the thing wont start when I was about to drive away... Seem like a flat battery, alternator etc

    I went through the sale anyways, ..got it started and I drove home without issue. Loved the 2hr drive to Sydney

    Things to do before I can think of going places:

    Newmostly for my peace of mind)
    - Alternator
    - Starter
    - Battery
    - Water Pump
    - Pully(s) + Belt

    Not sure:
    - To do the drain yet
    - Suspecting coolant loss due to usual oil cooler issue (this was done @113k), is this a service item now?

    Other:
    - Detail and rectify cosmetic issues
    - Apple Carplay

    Also where can I get a proper list of the build card? (BA359804)

    Thanks,
    pd

    Was that the grey AB originally from Tamworth ?

    Battery/alternator could be from no longer trips to recharge properly, AGM'S don't like many small trips, trust me I know. Oil cooler should be good for at least 100k if replaced. Coolant leak could be small hose or cap on the coolant tank. Just look for the usual tell-tale signs.

    Great car, that 8 speed is magnificent, wish my 2010 AB had it

    Drive and enjoy

    The alternators on the 4.4 are not known for early failures, unlike the 3.6 alternators.

    It is the one from Tamworth and it drives so very nicely. I will look for the leak etc, but generally It needs a good clean up etc.

    It appears that the starter motors can give trouble, mostly with the solenoid contacts IIRC and possibly due to inadequate wiring to power the solenoid.

    Hey, Dazzler, did you previously own an '05 Prado, by any chance or, perhaps there are two 'Dazzlers' in my little circle?
