No worries mate, hope she doesnt play up any more. Always good to swing a spanner every now and then, now just have to get my tools back in the truck. Still think there is a small issue as its not charging as well as it should, but is better than not charging at all

Nah mate, you were right the ~st time, all RHD.

its all good, we'll get it sorted pretty quickly.

yeah mate, I have my kids til Sunday 6pm, can have a look then if you want.

I found one, the guy who I sold my spare to didnt need it as it ended up being his glow plug regulator that was constantly draining his battery, might be worth having your alternator checked to make sure your not wasting your money on the alt. I can bring my multimeter over tomorrow around 6pm if you want, or if you have one, check to see what voltage your alty is puting out. If its your alty, the rebuilt one I sold him is yours for 100.

Cheers mate, I sent you a PM regarding the alternator, what size tyres are the back ones?

Give this guy a call, he still may have his, its off a GQ patrol, but it will bolt on fine http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-parts-accessories-engine-engine-parts-transmission-Alternator-W0QQAdIdZ247227632

I believe its there to assist in braking, I know the yota alternators use the vacume pump for this purpose. One guy I know doesnt have one, waiting to hear back from the other guy.

Yep, on the rear of the TD27 alternator there is a pump to provide additional vacume, this is fed oil from the engine.

The SD33 which came standard in the MK Patrol here in Oz is the longer 6 cylender, not sure how it would go fitting inside the smaller engine bay of the Pathy. But with a BFH and a gas axe, anything is possible.

I will make a call today, might be able to get one for you cheap as I know a couple of people who have parts trucks, will let you know as soon as I can.

Awesome mate, congrats on the Terrano. Small world, but at least you can find out the history of the truck easily, good bargain on the tyres too

DavefromOz shall throw his hat in the ring again

I had a look at mine, the wire I think you mean goes to a white plug up near my alternator, may be a difference between the 91 & 93. If you want to have a look let me know, can meet up.

Bugger, Im just down the road and had a spare alternator up until about 3 weeks ago. The alternator off a TD42 GQ Patrol I believe is a bolt in fit, the Navara TD27 will also fit. Dont know if the Pathfinder one will work as the alty off a Terrano has a vacume pump built in.

G'day Crispy, DavefromPerth here on PCoA. Welcome aboard.

I'll have a bit of a peak after work today, any chance you can take a pic of the engine bay so I can see exactly where the wire is? Bit hard to recognise the location so close up.

Readily available here in oz CLEARS These guys sell the ambers CLICKY

Happy new year boys, I hope 2011 treats you well

G'day mate, where about SOR are you? I'm down in K-town, if you ever need a hand working on that thing, let me know.

Ahh, another banana bender. Welcome mate, there are a few QLDers here, pop into the Aus thread down the bottom and say G'day.

UNCC, picked this up today, thanks heaps, will save me a dollar or 2 in batteries and my ears from the kids when the batteries run flat.

I think mine tried to deliver today, I need to call them tomorrow to arrange to collect it.

Take a bit of a look on this site, has exploded parts views of most assemblies. LINK

Here is what some of the guys here in Oz are using, made from 10mm plate. CLICKY
