Broken down, again!

Great news mate. Where was the split?

Mudski in our vendors section is your guy for all things NADS.

Good news mate, glad it was nothing too serious. Yeah does suck when you look back and think i should have picked that up. Oh well at least it's all good now and not to bad with the $$$.

I think that's all I need (already have a catch can)
Thanks again for all the help, really appreciated and sorry if my posts were all over the place, as you can imagine I was pretty stressed and had a lot on my mind and the car issues made it worse.
Thank you all for your support!

Awesome news mate . happy outcome and didn't cost all that much in the grand scheme of things, apart from some nerves.

You can get all of those from Mudski. Just pm him.
I don't think he sells the gauges, pillar pods or intercooler. Gauges and pillars are off eBay you best bet.
As for the intercooler best to upgrade mate as the factory ones will just leak over and over again...
I had an exchange unit from diesel smart for about $400 and it was great.

Good to hear it was only that and not something more sinister.

I got one kit left mate. I will hold it for you...I have exhausted the suppliers stock of needle valves and the next shipment is end of September!
The kits consist of Dawes, needle valve, egr plate, a length of boost hose and instructions. Members price is $140 plus $12 post.

Excellent news. Don’t beat yourself up too much .... if it cost $350 to fix a split fuel line it must’ve taken the Alice mob a while to find it. Not really sure why they couldn’t have done the same in in Coober Pedy? Do you know where the leak was? Might be worthwhile replacing all critical hoses & lines given where you are. How’s the new job? (I’m envious of your location).

Not too sure where the split was, will find out when I get into town next Friday and let you guys know! Thanks again for all the support!

Jobs pretty good thanks cuppa, my job tittle is essential services officer.
Basically it's just looking after all the power and water infrastructure for the resort and communities. Servicing generators, looking after the sewage treatment plant and testing the portable water. Pretty good job and very interesting

Picked the car up Friday, the split fuel line was just before the filter. Very happy to have the car back. Took it home via the mereenie loop, about 120ks of bitumen and 200 of dirt. Starting to get hot out here, about 32 degrees most days. A few years ago we had 13 days strait over 43 and a top temp of 48.7 one day. Coolant temp sat around 92-98 degrees so getting abit warm so might look at a coolant change to something abit stronger. Spoke to diesel smart about getting a new intercooler so will get that done in the next few weeks then move on to the full nads setup. Attempting to quit smoking so need something to keep me busy while I'm not working lol. Thanks again for all the help guys and any other advise is much appreciated!
