Where to find a factory Patrol 1992 Y60 12v diff solenoid?

Postby flatsix » Sun Dec 24, 2017 8:26 pm

Any good places to start looking for a 12v patrol 1992 4.2 TD diff lock solenoid that bolts on the top of the firewall in front of the passenger seat.

Can get the aftermarket Mac 45A-GC1-DDBA-1BA 12 VDC one which is apparently vastly superior to the factory one according to the aussies, but wouldn't mind fitting an original if I can find one, which isn't proving to be very easy so far, not after a second hand one.

Thanks for the replies, MAC will certainly be on the shopping list if i can't turn up an original.

Bit of back ground, my diff lock turns itself on after about 10 minutes driving and won't turn off without swapping the vacum hoses around, otherwise works fine when cold etc

What I reckon is happening is it gets very hot and one side conks out, and that heat is coming from the aftermarket turbo, which is a fairly high mount and gets hot (obviously) and heats everything up around it and that can't be doing anything any good.

Plan to put a turbo beanie on it, and possibly a shield on the diff solenoid and see what that changes. Will report back.
