A custom interior was my next idea, as I suspected the GU dash would be too big. Has anyone ever seen any GQ's with custom dashes?

Afternoon ladies and gents,
It's been a while having sold my beloved GU ute over a year ago due to a change in circumstances, however now I would like to buy a GQ station wagon and turn it into a...

Gday all,
2007 3l CRD, split a turbo actuator vacuum line a few weeks ago, obvious no boost until I pulled up found the split and repaired. Boosted fine and to the usual pressures (according to...

G'day, I have a 2007 common rail ute and mine was doing the same thing, gradually got harder and harder to start until eventually it wouldn't go (and was worse when hot)
It came back to be the rail...

Just looking for some heads up from anyone with any ideas;

Just a quick update for all who are interested, seeing as it's been so long;

That's what Engels are for mate, never get stuck anywhere with no beer!

In my experience with common rail MAN's, Detroits, and Mercs PLV issues aren't common, due to I believe the simplicity of them when compared to the rest of the common rail system, spring failures...

Also fitted the turbo timer 2 weekends ago, and put the overhead console together, not fitted due to a MINOR mistake that resulted in the rear mounting holes being about 3 mm out (yep, the width of...

Big girl just spent the last week at the dealer for a few warranty jobs, (for a used 4x4 dealer I am stupidly impressed at how they have looked after me, I sent it in for a starting issue with a list...

Got the 'troll back from the dealer yesterday, faulty rail pressure limiting valve, all sorted now so all good!

Got cranky and pulled off the manifold side inter cooler hose and sprayed in a little ether start, she fired without hesitation, not a miss, fart, or anything and runs smooth as, and ideas? Still...

Nope she ain't glow plugs, ****** won't start full stop now no smoke or anything, went to change the fuel filter and turns out I was given the wrong one!

Apologies for the essay too! Would free beer to any and all who help me solve this make it any better? Haha!

Ok so I 2007 3l common rail is winding perfectly fine, and runs perfectly fine (even overtook a car up a hill...

Thanks all, I'm pretty sure I don't need any help spending money on this thing! :-D
Ordered the Bogaard turbo timer today, should be here tomorrow I hope, I love the fact an Australian company sell...

Came to the conclusion today that the amp and 6x9's are gonna have to come out of the 'Deo and I'm gonna have to add sound system to the list. The stock speakers aren't bad, but I fear that the likes...

Thanks threedogs, yeah exhaust is on the cards, I just keep forgetting bits and pieces with everything I want to do! And I have heard of using solenoids for door latches but in the interests of...

I don't mean to sound tight by pushing the wear but I do 40ks of rough gravel with a lot of sharp stuff minimum 6 times a week and damn it's hard on tyres!

trekster; those Kumhos look pretty chunky for an all terrain, and a good price too, what are they like on wear or you haven't had them on long enough to really tell?

Thanks all for the replies, getting a lot of "love" for the Micky T's I might give them a whirl. What are they like in regards how long they last? I do roughly 20% rough gravel and rocky roads, 5%...

UHF aerials are mounted to the headboard, work lights are on, fire extinguisher is properly mounted, and spare tyre is properly mounted! Only temporary with the current tray, but they are important...

And usually most of what my ute does is muddy farm work; river crossings, etc, I can't see myself doing any proper 4wding any time soon
