Thanks, yes it is a 24v safari. So if the 24v/12v reducer is basically a transformer and the two coils are not directly electrically connected in the same circuit then the short must be between the reducer and the battery (probably after the fuse box I am thinking rather than before it)? unless it i...

Thanks Smurf
I will have a go flushing the main heater core - if i disconnect the heater pipes at the firewall grommet can i attach a garden hose or such to the lower out let pipe and a waste pipe to the upper and reverse flush?

HI again, Problem 2... I have one fuse that keeps going - when it goes I lose tachy, volt gauge, instrument lights and (bizarrely) the electric windows. Replacing the fuse fixes everything...but it goes again...I figure I have a wore that it is intermittently touching an earth somewhere but where to...

Hi all, this forum really helped me previously...thanks for that...now i have 2 more probs... First: I cant get really warm air out the front heater. The rear heater produces much warmer air than the front which is lukewarm at best. The wife wears two puffer jackets in the front on clod days just to...

My dash light wasnt coming on when i flicked the diff lock switch in my manual td42 gq y60 safari. I did all the diagnostics and worked out the rear factory diff was working perfectly so assumed blown bulb in dash. When i took out instrument cluster there was no bulb or bulb holder. But there was on...

Hi all and thanks for the posts. Brakes seem fine to me so will leave as is. Got to wof it next week so will see what the readings are and if they need tweaked i will take it to a brake place, i never do the brakes myself, not experienced enough. Last set of brakes i stripped down and reconditioned ...

The bolt that sticks out isnt supposed to move then?
What does it do then? Is it maximum travel adjuster or something. The actual lever bit moves.

Pretty much yes i gave it a push and nothing happened. It is sticking out past the metal bit on the spring. I applied some oil wd40 to see if it is just stuck and have left it to soak in. Then i will go have another push at it.

Just worked out hiw to add a picture!

Dont generally pull anything heavy at this stage. Every so often load her up with full camping kit, rack on the roof and diesel jerry can etc. So it is heavy but not super heavy at the back end.

Hi, While under my gq y60 safari lwb sorting my factory diff locker i noticed the brake proportioning valve attached to the load sensor spring seemed to be stuck with the rod mostly out. Is there anything that can be done to repair or recondition or do i need to replace it? I will likely shortly put...

If it's a 1999 then you have a GU or Y61 and they didn't come out as Mavericks. Only Patrols/Safari's. Is it lwb or swb?. Can you put a pic up pls? Just re-read your post...a 24v Maverick???!!!. Something doesn't stack up and definitely would like to see a pic! Nope definitely gq y60. I think it is...

Hi Colin, that's a bit confusing. ...GQ's ended their run before '99. Are you sure of the year?. The Maverick was the Ford badged version for Nissan and only brought out in Aust in 12v. Basically they had the same engines and running gear. Have a Google search on GQ diff locks "vacuum actuator...

Hi all, Pardon my ignorance. I bought what is basically a gq y60 low roof. Made in NZ in 1999 as a maverick but on a nissan chassis. 2 main questions: 1. If i put in a suspension lift of 50mm or less do i need a LVV cert? I was planning a 50mm body lift too so nee an LVV for that but wondering about...

Hi, where in NZ is best place to get spare parts for a 97 y60 safari granroad? Currently looking for a relay for the tacho...

Hi, bit nervous about posting as i just bought a 4x4 and slightly woŕried that everyone is going to say i bought the wrong thing! Anyway....here goes...it is a Safari Granroad (a 1999 low roof Maverick type) with 4.2L NA diesel Y60 TD42 engine and LWB. Seems to be a capable off-roader; originally wa...
