Yeah mate. Just put a new crate motor in the wagon. She kept cracking heads and then I found that my new radiator was 3/4 blocked. That's why she was doing it.......Oh yeah and the Ni$$an gauge was rooted, it wont move until you hit 100c. We have put 100000km on it in the last year also. My wife drives the wagon now so I needed it to be reliable. $15000 it frickin should be lol. New digital gauge, belts, t/chain, glow plugs, hoses, injectors, I/P and did the glow plug button mod to stop them from staying on for 5 minutes. They go off when you take a finger off the momentary button now.

Nah, I will get around to it tho. The utes going great, I just kicked over 200k (i have done 100k in 12 months) In that 12 months the Ebay stereo died, they say they will give me a refund but I am still waiting and the Speedy exhaust brackets broke. I have got rid of the split rims and am in the process of changing all my tyres over to Geolandars. Over all I am very happy with it. I average aroud 13lph km and it weighs 3200kg loaded with all my work gear

Good to see another face here mate. Have fun.

Thanks for the heads up mate and welcome to the forum

Hi and welcome. Enjoy the new Troll, i hope it treats you well.

Changed the oil and filter in the ute...............Again. Fitted the 200w solar panel to the wifes wagon and ordered 2 new tyres (265 75 16) Geolandars for the ute. I got 100k out of the last set on the wagon, this set look good for the same Ks

My Di is SMF. My CRD will be when it needs replacing.

I wish I had this kind of tallent. My welds look like seagull poo.

Bummer

Yep, we want pics and details. We are quite partial to Patrols here so give us a look lol. Oh yeah.........Welcome to the forum

Pull the bulb out.

Changed oil+filter, fuel filter. Air cleaner and brake fluid tomorrow, then start on the wagon

Try this mate. I have used it in some pretty stuffed motors and they came good. http://www.costeffective.com.au/show_product.php?ItemId=25 An old Benz that I used to drive gained a new lease of life until it was sold (40000km later) cos it was a pig to drive. The carbon/glaze was gone and it ran like a dream.

Thanks. I am too lazy to set up a full water injection system but I mist water down the inlet every time I change the oil. I usually spray about a litre and the ute is running better every time, I will mix a little meth next time.

I did a full block on my EGR. I want absolutely no egr in my motor. That is what causes the engine light but it only seems to happen if I use the fast warm up button. I dont use it much at this time of year anyway. Winter will be a different issue
