I think it may well be the idler pulley, because doesnt that have an automatic belt tensioner? once its slogged you need to install a new one.

Well described Boots (Tony), I appreciate it. I will order my Provent tonight then to help filter that blowby!

Cheers again.

Anyone know whats best to use on cleaning near the Turbo?

What is meant by crankcase blow by?

There is a squeak when it starts, like a fan belt screech! But once warmed up its fine.

Also whats the best product to clean with? Carvy cleaner, degreaser or CRC?

Ill check dump pipe etc....

Just recently I took my 3.0L cab into a mechanic, who said he spotted a turbo leak.

What the most common cause of this, just the gasket? And if so how big of job is it to redo the gasket?

If...

I drained the dron left hand side sump. And from the amount of fluid drained, it has to be the engine oil. The gear oil is only 3.5L or something for the zd30?

So its all good.

A question...

Ill ring the mechanic and notify them that there is still air getting in, I'm sure this is the issue.

As for the glow plugs, I tested them with a circuit tester prior to the oil drop and they all...

I also noticed that the oil is over full? Is this okay to drive still?

I think I may have found the vac hose, and seems to be connected.

Okay cheers, mate. Ill have a look tomorrow and let you know.

Cheers for the help chief!

Is there a chance you could google a photo on google for me and send me the link in a reply? As I don't know what I'm looking for?

Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it.

Sounds to me like the vac hose, I may well have bumped something when trying to change the filter! The filter was on there that tight I had to use a...

Hey all,

I recently did my first oil change in my ZD30, however since dropping the original oil in it and changing to PENRITE 15-50 (HPR DIESEL 15) it has started to blow an excessive amount of...

how much did you pay for the old boy to start off with?

Did you buy it from a mining background?

All fixed now,

I have the bullbar off because I need a piece grinded off.

The trouble was that the isolator had no earth. I have 2 isolators hooked up, one inside of the engine bay and one on...

Hey guys,

I pulled my Bullbar off to put in a winch and plate.

As I can't fit the Bullbar back on until I get the fair lead bracket grinder off it still remains on the floor of the garage.

Thanks Kevin07,

But I don't think they make an exhaust for the 2008 go ute (leaf spring), only coil....

Keep opinions coming.

Thanks guys,

Ill definitely take a look.

Would you recommend the Scotts Rods exhaust?

3inch, I know... It's a little overkill on a 3.0L but its cheap. It would be good to hear from someone...

Hey Guys,

I'm thinking about replacing my exhaust due to the stock muffler having small holes in it.

I'm chasing the best bang for buck exhaust out there to suit a 2008 GU CRD 3.0L Ute (LEAF...

its a statuary warranty, 12 months period. replace anything which needs replacing apart from cosmetics really!

Its in the muffler.

Hey guys,

I noticed today I have 3 small holes in my exhaust muffler. They are aligned with one another, so I wasn't sure whether there meant to be there or not.

If not what can I bog them...

Yeah, got it done with a team member discount.

I will post some pics and feedback after use, I'm just having a problem finding a thick enough winch mounting plate to suit.

It suggested 10mm...

Cheers for the warm welcome boys!

Just scored an XTM winch today from $899 to $371, will give feedback once run in.... However Pat Callingham use them all the way around australia (cant be too bad)!

Was it an aftermarket one? ZD30's only like guanines...

Especially for: belts, filters, hoses, pulleys etc.
