Hi
OK I still have a problem with my 1990 Turbo Diesel Jackaroo.
My machanic has given me the ...don't ring us we will ring you .. Before I go else were I would like any input from the
forum..
I have a problem with 'cold start' There is no power to the glowplugs ..but if I disconnect the single lead from one of the 2 sensors on top of the thermo housing I get power to the glow plugs for about 12 to 15 seconds .. and the engine starts alot better and without the ball of white smoke...?????????
Thanks

hi there i ran a trip aug 10 the sept 10 doing the canning and the top of wa. there was 3 nissan patrol with total of 5 people i was the only one in my 3lt patrol. I did not have a roof rack and I was running 285/75/16 tyres. I had full tanks of 127 litres and 130 litres in the cab. I also had 60 litres of water, a fridge and food for three weeks when leaving
Wiluna.
By the time I was at the fuel dump (
well 23) I had a quarter of a tank left. I shared a 44 gallon drum with another car and I used about 90 -95 litres to get that far. A 2.8 GU Patrol with two people inside usec about 120 litres to get that far.
I used the 130 litres in the car to get to
Halls creek but only needed another 24 litres at
Halls Creek to fill up both tanks.
From
Perth, doing the
Canning Stock Route and the top end I did 7000 km and averaged 8 km per litre.
To arrange fuel to be dropped at
well 23 you had to contact Capricorn Road House about 8 weeks in advance. To obtain fuel at
well 33 (the aboriginal community) you may need to call them in advance, as they are not open 24/7. There is also a phone at the community so that you can phone
home from there.
Hope that this will help - if you need more information, let me know.
