Best forum ever
Yep great result.
To be honest I wish the result was better, as all of us do no doubt, and had the time, money, know how and power to push the raffle outside of the forum. Because I'm a bit disturbed on Roofy's comments they used the last of their savings to top this up. I know we, as a community have done the best we can. Its bloody awesome actually. I don't think i have ever heard of another forum, doing something like this for another member. I had bought two lotto tickets last week, which I never do, and thought to myself if I get a good win, the money goes towards this. Hoping the lottery gods were listening. Bloody bastards didn't listen though. Didn't even get a cent back.
So the raffle ends tomorrow night, the end tally I will post up and the tickets will be drawn the following night.
First step would be to get actual total of moneys after Mudski closes ticket salesQuote:

might not be healthy after hot oil went through it I'm confident the pump will be ok BUT we
don't know for sure,the injectors to the best of my knowledge are genuine and traveled 282 +000ks
new or reco would be better ?
I can help with the remove and refit. I'm far from a mechanic though. So I am more than happy to step aside if need be and just hand over spanners etc etc. If the budget allows for new injectors I would get them. I'm not sure about the pump. But These pumps need to be bled properly because they have a circuit board built into the pump which is cooled by the fuel. And if you don't bleed these pumps you get an air lock in the pump, then you fry the circuit board and its bye bye pump, which is around $3.5 to $5K to replace. You cant replace the circuit board on these pumps.
Thanks mate ill put you down the pump we should be able to get fuel through it okQuote:

This is so good to see, so happy for Roofy and Jane. He was a bit gutted when he rang with the sad news then last night I got a mail from Jane, she is one happy camper. :clapping::clapping:
A big thanks to all who helped and are going to see this job finished :driving2: , if duties here weren't so demanding I would have enjoyed a drive down to Vic for a slice of Pizza!
Same here no awsome mechanic that's for sure but more than happy to spin some spanners and help out where i can. I reckon definatly new injectors if there's budget. What about testing turbo & pump. Where should we take them - dieseltec, jpc or somewhere else??Quote:

As above comments, I'm no mech, but more than happy to pass tools, beer, lift and kick things into place if need be if I'm available wherever this operation takes place. Plus would be a learning experience.
Great result guys. If your going to buy an extra ticket now is the time. Grab the last of them.
I'm happy to be a TA if needed but this is bigger than anything I've done before. Certainly if there are any mechanics interested in free beer and a cuddle from the man in the hat then that would be awesome!
Can I put you down for number 2, diesel tech are good and handyQuote:

Hope this helps that little bit more.
Yeah would be great to have the pump and turbo stripped off and sent for testing prior to everything else. Any idea where the testing should happen? Can the guy that built the motor test the pump and turbo maybe? What sort of costs involved in having the pump and turbo bench tested.?
Hey mate, nice one!Quote:

At a guess we are looking at wrapping this up with $4350 of member donations. Unless Mudski gets last minute raffles.
Pretty good effort everybody!!!!
Yeah still away all week & weekend. Good result with the $$ ☺☺Quote:

I've already taken 3k for 12mm pump, service, injectors and a tune. So that leaves $150 for the celebration pizza night. Going to be a great night though!Quote:

So plugging it in to a diagnostic machine would show something if there were an issue. I assume you could get it flow tested or whatever they do still. But talking with them they seem to think its not worth testing. These electronic pumps will either work and show no faults or not work and show faults, like mine did last year. One minute its great, nek minnit...
Ill be interested in seeing how coked up the intakes are.
If someone could note that with some pictures that would be great
Ive never seen any fault codes show up in 4yrs it was running ok fuel wise till she dropped the pinQuote:
