De-laminated brake pads!

So it was quite a while ago that I fixed this, but the FL inside brake pad had completely de-laminated, so it was metal-on-metal! on my 6 month old NEW rotor! :oops: :evil:

Re: recommend a welder in Auckland (North or East)?

My old man has had various odd-jobs (repairs to alloy boat and trailer) done by Thomas Rahn in Howick, pretty tidy work. Not sure if he does 4x4 but worth a call anyway. Other shop I'd try would be Cascade Automotive, Pakuranga.

Re: Pre heat timer outputs LN107 3L

Grab a multimeter, test for voltage once black-red, once black-yellow when the key is turned, it should show up voltage for a few seconds (while the plug "glows") then drop out.

I don't know why the dash light should be unreliable as it would be doing the same thing, surely?

If it's outside I'd put a cover over it, spray some diesel into all the sills/gutters/arches to fend off rust.

The other option, if it's not the cogs that are stuffed, would be a manualised valve body. Theres a crowd in Australia that does them for about $1500. Cheaper and easier, bolt-on fix.

It sounds as though the TT is wired into a relay on the main hot feed (fuel solenoid, if diesel). Unfortunately with so few wires (red=control/out, blu=on/trigger in, ylw=memory, is my guess) your options are probably limited, but I *think*, if I've got it straight in my head, running a hot wire in ...

Unless there's a known solution for the vehicle, my general advice would be to pull the cluster and re-solder all the connections on the daughterboard. Check for wires around the steering column that are pulling, pinching or rubbing.
