Re: Kiwipete's VX

Hand throttle should have a teeny tiny grub screw then undo the round nut holding it onto dash ;-) I have always found the round dash nut to come loose from time to time as well Yeah that's what I thought too, but I did not see a grub screw in there at all, maybe I better have another look tomorrow...

Re: Kiwipete's VX

A wee bit more progress. The PRS radio aerial has been installed along with some new RF coax (allowing for sufficient length to re-mount on the winch bar at a later date). http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z218/kiwi_pete/The%20Cruiser/20140729_114615_zps57d6705d.jpg There was a factory hole in the ...

Re: Kiwipete's VX

I spent 1/2 the afternoon removing the old head unit to place it under the pocket but decided to put in an old head unit I had in the junk box. It was a bit of a bugger getting the PRS radio lined up on top of it as it is about 10mm narrower. I still have to blank off the sides a little. http://i195...

Re: Kiwipete's VX

The radiator shop has rung and apologised profusely for the cockup. I took the truck in there this morning and they drained all the fluid, flushed it and refilled it properly.

Now I am a happy customer. :)

Standard green antifreeze should be fine but 2 litres is not enough, it should be 50/50 with water and I bet your cooling system holds more than 4 litres of coolant. I have always been under the idea that the factory red coolant is long life and it was red to allow easy identification. Assuming you...
