In a hurry after Brekky and got my Scrotum Rash Cream confused with my Tooth Paste.

Isn't that how the Threedogs term became known TD , depending on how cold it was depended on how many dogs slept in the bed .Quote:

Tests confirmed it was gas in coolent.
Gasket looks ok.
So heads off to be pressure tested and crack tested.
Exhaust manifold warped and egr pipe had a hairline crack in it too...
[emoji25]
On an up side the pistons and bores look great, glow plugs are great and no sign of bad injection spray....
But still pissed.
103*** on it..
Think itll be up for sale once fixed....
What's next then, a nice D4D Prado?Quote:

Yeh, exhaust manifold shield hx hd bolt rounded off trying to remove, running out of shop time so left manifold as looking ok. Installed turbo and fired it up and bugrrrr noise still there, strip down again (2 failed exhaust manifold studs) easy out the broken studs and 3mm machine off mating face, then all back together again $$$$$$. And cracked egr pipe, but mine blocked both ends..HaHa
Need more work to achieve improved low down torque (Big exhaust wheel bit laggy low down).
Hey do you know what the CRD stock turbo actuator inches of mercury (vac) to hold lever up against stop? , doing adjustment to actuator rod length (reducing) to keep veins closed longer to bring spool and boost on around 1800-1900rpm, Getting improvements as I play with actuator, boost 21psi @ 2000 rpm, max B 23psi @ 2250rpm / max 150rwhp & 370 N-m. Posted up story on ZD warriors but no feedback yet...
Why sell it after all the hard work has been done?Quote:

Fk that dont want to downgradeQuote:

6 months ago we had a good amount of disposable income so repair was a go if needed.
However now it's not as flush so cant really afford a new engine.. luckily mine is still under warranty for 6 more months..
Also I thought a new colarado was within reach with some mates rates and a private sale with a small loan but alas that wont happen either..
Had that with mine - warped manifold - local machine shop machined it , id already blocked EGR on drivers side as easier to get at but while manifold etc was off I blocked the other side - I figured it was still getting pressurised as it was blocked at other end so could potentially still crack & whistle .....
@bigguwesty. Check out the oil consumption of this bloke's Colarado. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyzhI_3P_Hg and sadly this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CJRY6UdOgQ
Interesting and confusing ,noticed the guy who reviews cars paying out on Holden and then picks the Colorado in the top three ute category in oz ,also the Ranger got the nod but I'm sure their past 27 recalls so reliability would be a big question there .Quote:

Son was just saying their fleet Colorados use two litres of oil per 1000 kilometres and have been told it's normal which sounds like typical dealer speak for every problem .
Yeh, good idea to block both ends, for exactly that reason.Quote:

I also wondered if the open orifice at exhaust manifold could cause turbulence and impact on exhaust gas flow in dump pipe. Maybe only theatrical but I won't be doing any wind tunnel experiment to find out as I don't have to... lol)

My new work ute is also a colarado and it's a 1t ute so rough but dam they pull hard..
About 8lph and not a drop used in the first 10 thou I've had it lol.
Anyway wont be happening now
Pretty much the same old story IMHO.
"If you search the Internet for neg reviews on any product from A to Z you are guaranteed to find them"
Westy, sort it out mate! You could potentially have issues with any other vehicle in the long run.
You’ve done heaps to this thing and it would be a shame you let it go.
Just a thought, what about a DMax? Beahahahahhah
Ok ok keep the fucking Troll!

That motoring "expert" did say that the Colorado was one of the three best Utes on the market in 2018 so maybe the newer models have been changed / fixed whatever not sure about the model the guy had the second engine in ,remembering that Nissan had some trouble with motors earlier on and although some went bang quite a few are still ticking along just fine .Quote:

Heading off in the morning for another week away - no idea what the next epic change will be next week! Women.
This may help you out Phil.Quote:

Oh god don’t get me started on pillows / cushions , they’re half way down the bed !!!!! I’m usually only in bed for 4-5 hrs so spending 10mins moving / stacking bloody ornaments just so I can get in does my head in , I either bulldoze them across to her side or just throw them all into the floor on her side so she has to deal with it when she comes to bed - I love her but my god these pillows 😤😤😤💪🏻Quote:
