ZD30 Di replace with new or reconditioned?

[mudski]

what I dont understand is........

if soo soo many Di's were Grenading, how come its soo expensive to rebuild

surely they would be cheaper, because "so many" of them went Bang

They're(mechanics) all enjoying the cash ride mate...

You have me rather worried now. I have a 2005 3.0 Di. It has done 158 000km without any issues and not yet got around to doing any mods.
Catch can is number 1 on my list, just need to make some time for it.
I thought at this mileage it would still be fine, but yours has got me rather concerned.
Maybe more reason to get organised and do some NADS.

Dont be too worried mate. Your motor is not in the year range where this was so prevalent. The chances of it happening to you would be very minimal. Plus there is still thousands of 3ltrs around being used by a grey nomad to drag a caravan around oz without issues. Its just one of those things that gets all the publicity when some thing goes wrong. You dont hear of many that dont have issues though do you?
Getting the nads done is a good idea though, not just for the said reason. You will get so much more out of your motor with it.
I am starting to sell more of the nads kits to Triton, Navara, V8 Yota owners etc etc now. Many others are now seeing the benefits of the nads.
