Dual Battery for 4.2TDi Patrol

Shawn,

Just fitted an ARB battery tray to my GU TD4.2T same engine as yours but no ABS.

The reason the ARB tray won't fit is that to get it in on mine the instructions say to reposition two cylindrical canisters that hang on the front of a bracket right next to where your ABS control is situated. Without the ABS they move to the badk of the bracket to make room for the battery.

When I installed the tray and repositioned these cannisters as ARB say i found that the hoses were badly kinked so I put them back and managed to get the tray in OK.

If you get on well with the guys at the local ARB outlet why don't you have a look at the space and see if you can make it fit. I think you should be able to manage it with a little creative thinking.

Good luck
Duncs

I've heard of people using the tray for the 3.0tdi in the 4.2. In the 3ltr, abs controller is next to the firewall on the passenger side - the tray is on the passenger side of the motor, sitting on the wheel well between the coolant overflow bottles and the motor.So much to see, too little time ...

Thanks Guys,
Went out to TJM 4WD Megastore at Kings Park yesterday and they provided a Piranha battery tray that fits straight in and a lot of info I didn't know.
