And they want 2.5k for fixing it, right?

2.5k worst case scenario.

So they checked the top block as well as the head to see if they weren't cause of the problem?

[the godfather]

I am not sure. I know they took the engine right out. Greg (@ Brunswick) said he will call me when they know exactly what is going on.
I will probably call him mid week.

Keep us posted mate - doesn't smell good to me. Over boosting happens for a reason, not just for no reason at all. Its got to be something they did or didn't do when doing up the motor, or something you did or didn't do. Its really up to them to explain why their recently rebuilt motor failed. If they insist on this unknown reason bit, how long is the repaired motor going to last before it blows up for some unknown reason? The number if years they have being doing diesels, they should know what to look for and unknown reason is just not good enough. Checked out their stand at the 4x4 show today and they advertise plenty of experience and expertise.

They have a very good reputation of dont the right thing. Not sure they would intentionally do the wrong thing. They rely on their name for work. And at least half of it is Nissan's.

Update: Okay, the patrol has now been fixed. I am yet to pick it up, But not only have they refused to cover more on warranty, but they also put the price up to $3000.00
They have replaced the head with a new one, and fitted a dawes valve as well.
I have spoken to consumer affairs and to get any better a result will require civil action, at a cost of more than 3k.
So in reality, I lose.

So what was done to the original head, the one that failed. Was it tested before the rebuild and if so by who. If it wasn't tested did they warn you that the motor had been rebuilt with an untested head. When this happened a couple of weeks back, you posted that they said the motor had overboosted. Did the overboost cause the head to fail?? or was that incorrect?? What caused the overboost??
When I need a new motor or any work done I will have to think twice about using them.
Just another note, why did consumer affairs say you would need civil action. Do they think it is not a straight forward issue?
