well done. Its not an easy one to fix Enjoy Portugal. Be interested in hearing how that trip went ; especially if any 4x4 tracks

tyres, RTT, dual battery, solar, fridge

had issues with mine in Colorado (mile high elevation) and needed to run it hot before it got into test centre. Ran it on ethanol mix to 'help'. Can't remember if NoX or what it was failing on. Passed several times like that

had the impression that importing to Spain/France/Portugal is "hard" if it has any modifications/changes that are different from what was issued at factory

decal looks similiar to another 80 in Spain or USA

bugger

Customs & VAT is such a ripoff "tax". But as you say sometimes its "one route"

under the bonnet with real world usage ... sounds good

not heard of that before. Good fix. Presume some fiddling trying to get it balanced

have used . mostly ok - no charges and then odd parts get custom charges

Just call me/WhatsApp +353 87 4577 314

Threw in a new (Chinese) alternator and no difference. Dropped from 12.7v to 9v overnight. Will charge back up and start pulling each of the fusible AMx links to see what circuit is causing the issue

I've found customs hit-n-miss as regards getting stung for fees. More 'hit' last few years, especially on large items

nice offer. I've one I got from Wits-End (I think) that I've yet to try

try and do a temp measurement before the cats and after so see what the real temperatures are

no. Mine is 'normal' with IGN off Running the additional checks - appears to be a bad diode in the respect I get 31v on AC reading between POS & NEG on main battery while engine running Anyone replace a regulator/diodes before? Seems to be cheapie ebay offering (quick check) or approx $130 off...

Did all the multi-meter in series tests to check each fuse etc. Nothing out of the ordinary. Pulled all relays & fuses overnight and still dropping. Disconnected the 4-pin connector & main battery connector (v-post) to the alternator and its holding battery power for last 2 days. Will check and...

Do you have it up on DoneDeal? Would think you;d have better luck in UK (presume RHD). Hope you're not in a hurry if you want a good price.

I just picked up a small bluetooth microphone for my phone and was going to attach a magnet to it so can place under the truck "finding noises". Was trying to diagnose a noise I was getting but got it sorted (rear diff & pinion bearing). So will try it out in next few weeks and see how it...

Had a nice time in Argentina when I did the PanAm a good few years back. The Steaks!!!

Sorry, I got rid of my seats a good while back. Based in Athenry

I thought I had it in a NSNS orientation but once checked via a real compass it was NSSN. Unglued the last two (SN) and reset as NS so NSNS finally and that got the motor working (w/o the gear) Once gear in its stiffer.

Got it working in the end. Was trying to to contunity testing for in & out per video but was too hard to get right My motor was a bit 'chopy' when applying power so couldn't get it to stay at 2-7/8 when extended. When putting locker back on the shift fork wouldn't line up so had to have locker...

They have a 'compass' orientation (either N or S) but going around the cover they need to be in a N-S-N-S orientation. There is no difference twisting them 180 degree 0 from up to down and v.v. They do change polarity if you twist them horz but then don't fit in cover probably.
