    Yup not starting and engine not turning over are two different problems with a different set of remedies. P.S : Don't tap the alternator, give it a good couple of blows. If you motor is not turning over that is.

    If the engine is not turning over then it's either the battery or stuck starter. If you have a voltmeter check how many volts in the battery should be around 12.4v if below, weak, if below 12, dead. If battery checks outs, then it's the starter. Use the old mechanics trick of giving it a few good whacks with a hammer and it should turn the engine over. But replace or refurb ASAP

    Rather pointless I must say.

    Probably ex-royal hunting fleet patrol

    A little too early to be drinking grandpa's cough medicine

    Brake oil isn't a lubricant or penetrating oil and very hygroscopic too.

    See the video posted earlier

    Well I always wanted so see if they actually work. Being a long time offroader always carry a air comp in all my cars so never needed it. Seems like the yellow can fix a flat which is widely available here didn't turn out so good

    Hey bud could you look up one for a 7th gen Honda Civic 02-05 for a buddy of mine.
  10. desertdude
    LOL how was I supposed to know you were looking for this!
  11. desertdude
    Interesting results.

    You could have just used any penetrating oil like WD40 and you'd be halfway done by now and probably spent less for a can of WD40, this concoction is an old mechanics tricks to cook up a quick batch in a rush or to save a few pennies if you use it a lot by just using stuff lying around in the garage. Here is a side by side test of this mix along with WD40 and the mix came in behind WD40

    Accent?

    I said Armada not Patrol. That Armada weighs almost the same as the Y62 and around the same power as the V6 patrol. And the Armada was never built to be a tough offroader. So the comparison is more than valid

    Necro!!!!

    Contiuing with that logic I'm guessing you don't take a bath either!!!!!!

    That's because you just started doing this. Patrol is a very capable car and being a platinum I'm assuming it's a V8. In the right hands it can kick FJs ass all over the place. I've driven the bigger and heavier Armada in Liwa which makes the Dubai dunes look like children and it performed beautifully there

    That's flickering more than blinking. Looks like an electrical issue. Get your hands on an electrical wiring diagram, clean the grounds, connectors, look for any crimps or frayed wiring. If nothing then one of the oil sensors could be shorting out. Check them with a multimeter. First do a Desi test by wiggling the wires of both the sensors, see if it makes a difference. Then unplug and clean the both sides of the connectors with some electrical or brake cleaner spray. NOT WD40. So on and so forth, starting with the most easiest and cheapest fix and working your way down.

    Could be the oil pump going out. Low oil pressure could be the cause. Or a ground issue on the oil level or pressure sensor
  21. desertdude
    So knock sensor on bank 1 is knackered

    Sounds more like a bad coil to me. Does the DTC flash when it's rough? Disconnect one coil at a time when running rough to see if there are any changes. If you take out a coil and there is no change means that coil is knackered. Or try using a simple obdii scanner one can be had off amazon for 20dhs. Also disconnect the MAF when idling rough. If it gets better means MAF has taken a dive. Plugs will in majority of the the cases not cause intermittent problems.

    Ajman, totally different story.

    Go-to any automotive paint shop and give them your colour code. For a perfect take a sample, like the fuel door flap. In 5 minutes he will mix you up a batch
  25. desertdude
    Never bother with those
