Can you please help me with the code of the Coilpacks. Bought a patrol with a VK45DE engine and it started with a misfire right after i disconnected the battery to put it on charge. Might have to start looking at the coilpacks as that was my first port of call as well.
Hi

Here is a link to the units I got. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-8-NEW-I ... 2749.l2649

Hope this helps.
Awesome thanks a lot!!

The coil for the VK45de is the same as TB48de.
So most of the places (not stealers) in SA sells them under TB48.

Some updates on the old Trol


I wasnt happy with the 10j rim setup, I prefer an 8j and I love the look of Steelies. Got myself a new set of 15 x 8j -20 offset steelies from Charles on the forum.

Image

Then had them resprayed black

Image

Sold our ground tent setup and got a second hand Eezi-awn family RTT. Its big and bulky and I have lost roof packing space but for me the convience outways the negatives.

Image

Made some small progress with the drawer system. Still nowhere near finished. Having used it a few times has helped decide where to modify to suit our needs.

Image
Image

As a temp option to handle the weight of the tent and rear drawer system etc I organised a set of used GU rated coils. When fitting I noticed that the previous owner had already lifted the car raising the coil base plates by 50mm. Not sure I like this but Ill decide what to do when I put proper suspention in.

Image

BEFORE FRONT
Image
BEFORE REAR
Image

LIFTED FRONT
Image
LIFTED REAR
Image

Starting to take some shape :biggrin:

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

The cover that came with the RTT was pretty dead so ended up buying a new cover from Eezi-awn. The new one is slightly larger but this alows for us to leave the bedding inside the tent when traveling.
