Hi all,
Hope that you had a great
Easter.
I have a GU IV 3ltr TD Nissan Patrol ST - did a salt water
river crossing and when I got to the other side the Troll lost power. It was still running and you could rev the engine (like normal) but as soon as you selected a gear the power (revs) went and the engine went back to idle - in all gears.
Pulled out the Lanotec and gave everything a going over in the engine bay and unplugged the battery to re-set the computer and then everything was peachy. Haven't had this happen before and she loves water (normally) - would hate for that to happen half way over the crossing!
Any thoughts?

Could it be the Lanotec?
Lanotec is non conductive. It is a good isolator.
Look at the lanotec web site.

Friend did the same thing sparying Lanotec around, and he found it isolated the contacts. Great for freeing parts, and preventing rust, but not good for electrical contacts.
Lanotec have tested it to 70kVa, and recommend cleaning contacts after use.
You need to use a good citric acid cleaner too, it is very hard to get off.
This stuff is definitely not WD40 or similar products.
I use it, and highly recommend it, for the right job :o)

Could be - but it happened before the Lanotec. Love the stuff as
well.
