Blah, blah, blah. We have heaps of tracks here with your name on them.

I've just read through your post Rusty and I've bought a Series IV Patrol with a rebuilt long motor. I was told the motor was cooked thus requiring a new one.
I've had a couple of thing goes wrong with it, the main one was front crank seal leaking and Starter motor. It never had any NADS installed except for the EGR plate but having the needle valve has made a big difference to the engine.
One thing i would put on your shopping list is a new MAF sensor. Mine wasn't throwing any codes but it was very doughy down low and after putting in a new one, it made a world of different.
The ZD30 isn't too bad of an engine but they don't like high exhaust temps. I hope you hear you're back on the road soon and enjoy what is an awesome 4x4.
BTW I have an auto too and coupled to a ZD30 is a great combo

so i guess the feeling that im feeling right now would be... elation.

i just got a phone call from charlie, the mechanic who is fixing the car. he said that by either next week or the week after the car should be ready! he has replaced the pistons, hes done something with the turbo(no idea what) the head was cracked but hes fixing that, the injector pump is on its way back and should be in in the next few days, and yeah he thinks that next week or the week after it WILL BE BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN!!!!!

so bloody excited hey, i cant wait to be back in the damm thing! haha!!!

Hell yeah Nic!!! I can't wait til you are back in the rig!
