Yes its an hitachi LR160 type and yes the battery is stuffed and I'd say it's been doing it for a while I have removed the alternator and replaced the voltage regulator, re assembled and refitted to truck. Same fault, battery goes from 12.4v to 15.7 within 30 seconds . Removed and dis assembled alte...

Hi there, I have a 95 mistral (square headlight) td27 auto and my battery voltage reads 14.4 at idle, but with increased revs upto 1500rpm it seems to get up to 15.6v and is increasing. With moisture around the battery caps, I'm guessing that it's overcharging due to a faulty voltage reg. In the alt...

Ok, I got the trucks back from the auto sparky. this is what happened- The flasher unit was repaired where it got hot and was causing the flasher to flash faster than normal. as for the short, they never found one, so im guessing that while i had the dash out amoung other interior trim pannels, I ha...

it doesn't cost us more than our 97 auto nissan sunny to run. we live out at leeston and drive into town several times per week. we would use about an 8th of a tank to go from leeston, driving it around town then back out to leeston. It as a nice interior and exterior with lots of nice features. it ...

Ok its off to the auto sparky in the morning. :cry: I still haven't diagnose the fault with the indicators. there is a short still, but the truck turn signals even though both sides are still flashing fast, all globes are correct, and the short is hiding very well. still cant find a turn signal rela...

KEEEEEEEP IT.... ORE is a great place to get helpful info from other 4x4 owners in NZ with the same types of vehicle models unlike getting advice from overseas forums where the vehicle models can be slightly different to very different so for us kiwis, its more of a real world environment. As well t...

I can honestly say after owning a gq swb safari and a 91 surf, that this is a great truck. I have a 95` r20 ans they come out factory with lsd rear diff, electric sunroof (great for those weekend hunting trips on private property going for bunnys and possums or taking the family camping. we paid abo...

if it is flashing faster then normal will be due to the fact that the circut is not under it's normal load of resistance, a bit like when you blow a bulb the other two will flash at twice the speed. check all the bulbs are the same wattage. as for the blower fan it shouldn't be two hard or expensiv...

ok latest on mistral- The turn signals have been great up until a few days ago. i have done a continuity test and the positive circuit for front, side, and rear turn signals on the right hand side of the truck all have a circuit between the positive and earth. the turn signals on both sides flash fa...

Cheers guys, found that the socket that holds the globe in the tail light assembly had the short so i found another globe holder socket and s/hand flasher and been driving it for the last two hours and the indicators work fine now. As an added bonus, the hazards go too. :D :D :D :D :D . Now to pull ...

Update.. I found the flasher unit under the steering column was burnt and melted. Ok I've had them working by connecting a spare flasher unit, but is was only a two terminal flasher unit not the factory three terminal type. I also pluged in the left hand side rear tail ligth assembly into the right ...
