Can anybody reccomend a good trustworthy mechanic on the north side of Brissy to do a rebuild on my ZD30? The car is driveable but losing lots of coolant as the system is being preasurised by the engine which blows the coolant through the resovoir breather (next to the yellow filler cap).
Thanks in advance

Have you thought about getting a crate engine instead of doing a full rebuild?

Send NIZZBITS a pm, if they are available he will be able to give you a price and be able to tell you what's included.

Depending on funds you could also put a 4.2 turbo in it as well. bigger job
Garys' prices are very good

SMS sent mate - talk to him about the options as he absolutely will not lead you astray ... if a rebuild is the right option he'll tell you that based on what you want to do, budget, the actual problem with the engine, etc, etc...

Have considered everything, that will be next if the advice from a decent mechanic says thats the best line of attack
