Tis' the way of this world it seems these days unfortunately. Trades and proper trade practices have gone out the window and people just don't give a f$#k anymore. Get the job done and as quick as possible and onto the next job.Quote:

Hopefully you caught it early.
I had CRD fuel pump failure couple of years ago and as a precautionary measure installed a WaterWatch pre filter (supplied by Responsive Engineering -Cooma Diesel). Something to consider as well. Give Responsive Engineering/Cooma Diesel 02 62800178 a call _ just more info / knowledge for you to deal with these cowboys.

Insist on a injector return leakage test be performed and a fuel system check by a diesel injector SME workshop. The owe U that at least.
The tanks were repaired about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and it’s only done around 220km or so since then with no issues. The day before the warning light came on, I’d pumped about 10 or 15 litres from the Aux to the main to ensure the transfer pump was working, so I am suspecting the aux tank was the culprit. Once the warning light came on it was a couple of kms to home, no misfiring or problems at all. So hopefully no further problems.
I’ll be having a chat to them tomorrow about my concerns for the longevity of the injection components. I’ve already pulled the trigger on the Fuel manager system c/w alarm. I looked at the water watch system but preferred to go with a unit that filters as well.
I’ve got no hope of mounting the fuel manager where you have yours, as the later CRD’s with rear air have different routing of the air con line. I’ll need to run it from the passenger side, which isn’t ideal.
Yes Dave is the man ! Cooma Diesel . work is way above the average . You get what you pay for
Went to one of his trade training nights_Think he was the first Denso rep in Aust
I have done his machine work for about the last 20 years ..

Maybe , just maybe , humanity deserves to be wiped out.
Bit ironic that the thing they are protesting for will quite likely fuc# it for them and everyone one else even longer damit. . Stupid ill informed self centred dickheads, poor horse what did he do to deserve that from that moron . .[emoji2959]

Oh Dear Ross, have some compassion for the misguided. They obviously have mustered what intelligence they have remaining, both individually and collectively, to voice what they believe is true. Society should be congratulating them for proactively moving down the path of Darwins Theory of Evolution, as the strongest will survive and conquer and the weakest die. We can only hope the virus was alive and strong in both congregations in NSW and Vic and takes out the majority of them - small price for society to pay I reckon. I like you Ross.Quote:

Excellent quote from Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton in the media today in response to those anti-lockdown protests in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
"I love freedom. Who doesn't love freedom? I want freedom from being amongst the over 4 million official (and likely 10 million actual) COVID deaths globally. And freedom from being amongst the over 13 million current active cases. Or millions of current Long COVID cases.
Long COVID doesn't make you free - debilitating fatigue, ongoing shortness of breath, neurological and psychiatric symptoms for weeks to months. We've avoided a huge potential burden of illness in Australia but the 30,000 cases we've had still represents so much suffering.
When we prevent illness, the argument seems to go that there isn't really an issue, so why the restrictions? But this pandemic is far, far from over. New variants could still be catastrophic for much of the world - Australia included. They are hugely challenging to manage.
That's not a reason a 'give up'. Letting infections potentially overwhelm our health system will cause illness and death at an awful scale. It also impacts civil liberties and it's hugely damaging to the economy to have widespread transmission.
We can all argue the merits or otherwise of various approaches to managing transmission, but let's not pretend that 'marching for freedom' will actually deliver the precious freedom that we all need and desire."
Its not that hard really. We have no bushfires to put out at the moment so fill the water bomber helicopters with disinfectant and 70% isopropyl and drop it on these fukkers. One of them might even set off a flare afterwards 😀😀😀
I'm very much personal choice in general. Also quite against forced lockdown as I believe that this never going to end in one form or another.
Be responsible for your own health and safety first and foremost. If you are blase' about it, to bad so sad that's your problem
If you want to lockdown, go for it.
If you want to vaccinate, go for it
If you want the government tracking app, get it.
If you want to continue living your normal life, go for it.
I was against the forced lockdowns when we Vics were exposed to our big lockdown last year. Every other stated was laughing at us. Now seeing what Sydney are going through, and then us only to be put back into a forced lockdown once again, I do believe what they are doing is worth it and working. Sydney people are where we were last year.
I totally get it trying to see it from the other side where your state has barley been affected by Covid, you just would not understand. the experiences are totally different. My next door neighbor runs the triage as St.Vincents Hospital here in Melbourne, last year when we were seeing 500+ cases a day they had three floors with god knows how many beds per floor, dedicated just for people nearing the edge of dying from Covid. She worked endlessly day in day out just to keep things going.
Then you get the total farkwit living on the other side, who's 40 something, still living with his elderly parents trying to tell us that this doesn't exist and its all fake! I've also had one customer try to tell me that the vaccine is altering my DNA and another tell me that I now have a tracking device implanted in my shoulder from the "jab".
Atleast the roads are quiet with lockdown.
There is a very good reason for enforced lockdown,to stop overloading the hospitals!
The NSW hospitals would be struggling to cope atm, they only have so many ICU beds and without lockdown they will have to start making hard decisions on who they let die. I know the head of the covid response at RPA and watched him crying while describing the horrible decisions they have to make.
ANYONE AGAINST LOCKDOWN SHOULD GO HELP THE DOCTORS DECIDE WHO DIES!
Sick of vendors advertising parts for sale, then once you have paid for them, and have been waiting until the advised delivery date, find out they are in fact not in stock, still on the way, or have been ordered from overseas and may be here within 15 working days. Total deception, and as is currently fashionable, blame it on Covid. Yes, I appreciate there are international supply issues with the on-going pandemic, however just be honest so the buyer knows where they stand. After making over a dozen calls i finally tracked the parts down in WA and based on previous experiences with TOLL, they will be here tomorrow, airfreight. End of rant, good night.
A little disappointed with Sparesbox and the courier company. Spares didn't make any attempt to cover what it is and the courier left it right in front of the door in full view, where Australia Post left me a "you have a parcel" slip for a $200 pair of boot that I brought that are probably in one of those white post envelopes.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...021/07/120.jpg

The metro ring road suddenly comes to a grinding halt, as a car in front of me quickly swerves to the left in panic. Pull over to see if all is well.
All is well fortunately. But the primary reason is just about unbelievable.
A solar panel that was silliconed onto the roof rack flew off the car and hit 2 other vehicles ...
Yes , I repeat , silliconed onto the roof. No spelling error there folks . Silliconed. 1.5m x 1m panel siliconed onto the roof. Not even a roof rack. Just a plain flat roof... The intelligence level here is at question.

Do some research Hodgey mate, it is very standard practice and the preferred method of fixing them.Quote:
