I use large ziplock bags to put over the filter after I’ve cracked with filter pliers then I unscrew the rest by hand making shaw bag covers end of filter only spill little bit and doesn’t spill all over starter motor or engine bay.
You’re a legend, I’m glad you brought up the fuel filter gap situation I’ve been having that same problem for the last 4000ks lol now time to do a service on the old girl
Top video. Always cover your positive terminal with a rag when pulling out that dipstick so it doesn't spark. You had yours covered I had to find out the hard way.😅
If you use Z503 filters from the GU they are a finer micron filter good for turbo td42, My next job is to fit TB42EFI front rotors and twin piston callipers to the TD42 GQ
How's the timing, same situation as those radius arm bushes and drop boxes I had and then your video popped up. I've got a pile of service parts for my patrol that are sitting there looking at me 😂 I use that exact penrite oil too, seems to be pretty decent, uses less oil compared to some other brands. Good stuff and safe travels! Cheers!
The EFI brakes and a general freshen up definitely improved things for me, pretty well replaced everything with new or rebuilt. Only thing original is the metal lines, seems to be the theme, open up a can of worms and then keep fitting things 😂
I went with the marks4wd kit, braided hoses except the two front caliper hoses as they twist while turning and braided hoses are a no go apparently. Bit pricey for the kit, but all seems great.
Hey mate, any reason you use 20w - 60 engine oil, I have a 92 Ford Maverick (GQ) and run 10w - 40 . I’ve just clocked over 300,00 ks the old girl seems to be running ok ,cheers
@@downtheshedwithbyron thanks mate,will check out the app, let my oil change run over a fair bit over and noticed oil pressure playing up hope an oil ,filter change will fix that and or the sensor if U/S
G'Day Byron, I am in the process of replacing my 25 year old denco turbo system for a new HPD system. My question is - is the sump on the 4.2D easy to remove while engine is in engine bay as I need to drill a hole for the turbo return oil line. or is there an easier way rather than having to take the sump off. Love your vids buddy.
Thanks for the patrol video mate good to see some new tips old girl looking mint 👍🍻
Cheers mate

To me an oil and filter change is cheap compared to engine rebuild
