Very keen to sell my truck again. It's been for sale now on and off for 2 years! lol. To be fair I never did really take out any ads or anything other than SAU.

This truck has done under 1,000kms in the 2 years I've owned it. I've used it purely to move house a couple times and move some big parts around etc. I'm about to use it to move house again and now really want it sold.

It has FULL service history from brand new. Is in outstanding condition, runs like clockwork every time I need it. The only thing I've had to do to is is recharge and replace the batteries I keep letting go flat from lack of use. It also has great aircon which is lacking from a lot of commercial vehicles. Don't know what else I can say about it. It's very easy to drive, just regular 5 speed box, nice power steering, has switchable exhaust assisted brakes too for when you've got a load on or turn it off when you want to keep the noise down. I really can't fault it in anyway, but I just don't have space or money to keep it any more. I now have 6 cars and 2 motorbikes and need to sell something off badly.

Rego is due for renewal this month so it'll have 6 or 12 months rego on it and be ready to rock.

ASKING PRICE NOW DOWN TO $15,500. You would be lucky to buy the pantec for that much, let alone the truck under it...

yeah it's a TD42. just fired it up again the other day and put 12mth more rego on it. truck is running nicely. I hadn't driven it for more than 6th months but it started instantly and runs just as sweetly as always. with a full 12mths rego on it now would be a good time for someone to buy it.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
