engine bay photos

[bishbashbosh]

ok here are some photos of the engine bay.. i've never had a diesel before so dont have a clue what i'm looking at..

1. i'm thinking from the first photo that my dual battery is on the drivers side - i'm yet to follow the wires.

2. what is the gold bolt thing in the second photo?

3. where is the ERG plate thing that I block?

4. Cant locate the MAF!

5. the battery on the passenger side looks like the cranker.. am i correct?

6. bloody cables everywhere!

7. is that a factory turbo coz it looks small.. what does it do by the way?

8. any other advice on what is what would be grand!

try now johnny!

Cool, you dont have a MAF ,but you do have a 3LTR airbox, so a K&N filter would be handy x 2
Drivers side is your start battery well on my 3 ltr it is
follow cables to starter to check

Looks strange that the AUX battery is held down length wise
not across like most others, change the nuts to nyloc as they will rattle loose

@ Billy is it a converted 3LTR ??

Looks a pretty tidy engine bay to me.... guess you need to look at some feral petrol GQ's getting around to know what is actually bad..lol

All looks as it should.

3TD - not that i'm aware of - the id plates state a 4.2TD

how come?

it mirrors the other battery and dont think there was room sideways.. wish i could have done it all myself.. maybe oneday ill pull all the wiring out and redo it so i know how it all is.

Does anyone know what the gold bolt is?!?

its got a massive filter in that airbox - which K&N filter should I look at buying for that box?

do i need a catch can?

Here you go most buy two so ones ready to swap at any time.
No reason on the conversion comment

The "gold bolt" is a plug. There is normally a pressure relief there but they can fail and its common to plug them.

Catch can is up to you.

Battery is mounted the same as any other. Cranker is on drivers side.

That style air box is standard fitment on the factory turbo 4.2.

And is a factory turbo.. Engine bay looks basically same as mine.. I am yet to plug my pressure relief ( it needs doing)

happy times!

get to pick the truck up tomorrow as getting drawers fitted and then i think spend the weekend sorting out the dual battery and putting fridge and other items back in.. then i'm back to were i was before the "little incident"
