  1. It's amazing how many people come up to us and praise the 60 series, mostly the grey nomads (the gems in the crown of australian society) We stumbled upon it as it was a cheap buy but there seems to be some great examples still left out there. Hopefully Rosie will keep us going for another 20k back to Victoria. Perhaps I'll be back on here for more advice and I'm sure more will benefit from the thread. Thanks again and have a great christmas. Joe & Saar
  2. DavidP, I'm not one for Forums but i got desperate recently and found this thread. We've been on the road in Rosie our red 60 series (similar to yours, Deisel, no turbo, coming up to 300k) for 3 months now and have done over 14000km with no problems. Last week it started hunting whilst accelerating for no particular reason. I checked for fuel leaks but the surging was so regular (every 4 seconds) i knew it had to be electrical. Also with the spotlights on, the 'jolting' would be way more noticeable. We were getting worried as we were working in a community 3 hours north of Broome and were a long way from a mechanic, let alone parts. Also we have an ambitious itinerary which dumps us in Coral Bay for Christmas. Anyway, after reading your post, i cleaned as many earth straps as possible with some emery cloth and a rag. The starter motor strap was the worst but the ones going from the dual batteries were bolted to a painted surface which was probably not doing it any favours. An hour later and no money spent, it works!! We have driven 250km and I've done a night run with as many electrics on as possible and there's no surging whatsoever. I had to join up on here to say thankyou because you may have just saved christmas! Joe & Saar
