How's it coming along mate?
It burns oil! Just ironing out some minor faults atm
How much oil? Hopefully it's easily sorted. I'll have to come check it out soon.
I have a bit of a diesel leak I'm trying to sort out. It runs down the block and drips, worse when it gets turned off. I think it's the back injector.
Roughly about 12 -14 lt/100km :D
Yeah you were mean't to come past last friday, thanks for letting me know you weren't coming mate i didn't get ready for the weekends meet till 11pm....
So its only weeping!
Your in the dog house now Micheal. . Heard the expression about gift horses..lolQuote:

Got to still sell a few items to recoup building costs.... EFI harness is a big one and should help a lot plus a few other items that all help.
Here is a little Video... notice the catch can.

Does that rattle disappear when its warm? Did you guys check the pump timing at all?
Sound good man chuck some tires on and we can go for play when I get home from work. Lol

Ok the car is home and there is still so much to do but du to some other things budget is pretty much gone... pooh.
The injector pump is not set up right at all and needs some love... a mate of Georges who is a ships diesel mechanic liked the sound of the engine but said all the problems are with either the pump or the injectors.
It breaks down over 2000rpm and blows heaps of smoke
As there is no Matty here to share the love I am waiting on Rowan to ask a well know diesel mob here for a favour/advice ??/ not 100% sure on that as all I started to hear was blah blah blah while I thought about my wife leaving me!!
When I got home Mags was frosty and she stated that she has had about enough of cars and started on me about the house.... she is right.
So today I am not allowed near the car and have to go spray weeds and hang some pictures like a good little boy.
42 years old and everyone tells me what to do..... I should listen every now and then...LOL !!!!
Well at least shes home mate. It'll get sorted out, then we'll have to go to tallarook *hint* to stretch her legs.
I've got something for that new diesel of yours too. Left it at work, will drop it off tomorrow or tuesday!
Curious I am....Quote:

I will look into the running like shit over 2000rpm during the week and see where I stand with some other issues.
Mudski supplied me with a catch can so also need to fit that... the more I think the more I know there is so much more to do.
Oh and Matty that knock goes away after the engine warms up..
Only managed to put the last of the air intake on after I pulled it all apart and got it all water tight.
Need to finish off the inner guard and then I can see how ab's bar lines up with my scrub bars.
Then fit the 33's... still have to wire up the lights on the rear bar and a couple of smaller jobs.
When I have some more time as nd money I will get it looked at by a diesel tuner and figure out the injector pump or injectors.

All coming together mate, gotta be happy with the light at the end of the tunnel now...congrats and kudos for the effort put in!!!Quote:

Wow looking bloody good jono, just like a real td42 gq!! Home stretch now bet ya can't wait to get it out in the bush. . .
What's the box where the old second battery tray was??
It's got extractors!! Don't need a turbo.
Nice one Jonny boy, Not long now buddy, you must be getting anxious but excited ey:)
That is a relay box for all the extra accessories...Quote:

What about that mob in Bendigo?? or do I just go to JPC around the corner???
As far as Readies (Bendigo) he loves the TD42 and most of the staff drive patrols.
I kind of thought I would use it as an excuse to hang out at your place but not sure if I can manage that at the moment?Quote:

Sorry Eric I had a brain fade.... I was thinking what the f$Łk is Mudski going to do???? ha ha ha ha
It's a hard thing to put a price on not knowing whats wrong with it though. A tune is probably around the $200-$250 mark.Quote:
