I was the first to get a LLAMS on a GC. My now dead GC was the test mule. I'll take it out of the dead GC and think about putting it in the new one.

Do you have lights on the Nudge Bar? If so, how are they for vibration on corrugations??

Outback touring, towing a camper - VistaRV Crossover XL in our case - is what this will be doing.

Sure i've posted this before but here's mine with 11" spot LED bar on my rig.
If I hadn't won them i'd have gone for a 22" unit. But does a good job, no vibration issues at all.

Thanks, I had not seen that one. It looks good.

Cheers

Small hose burst, dumped the coolant and cooked the motor. Economic write-off... Bugga!

So I start again.

Numb thumbs,

For those of us with the 'older girls', would you mind pointing out which hose failed. I'd like to replace mine before that happens to me.

I don't have the part number...

It is a weird one. It is bent 90 degrees and is 23 mm OD one end and 28 mm OD the other. Internal Diameters are 15 and 20 mm.

Total length around 100 mm

I'm going to have it stuffed and mounted...



It is under the turbo somewhere (driver's side of the engine) - that is where the steam poured out when we put a small amount of water in the empty overflow tank, anyway.

Cheers

Are the turbos water cooled/oil cooled or both? Maybe it's a water pipe to the turbo or return to cooling system? Don't have access to the missus car to check.
