As Jay see said, good things take time and i would rather he was slow and did it properly rather than rush it and stuff sh!t up.Quote:

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!
That is great News Rusty.Quote:

car is back on the road.i picked it up yesterday. i spent all day today cut and polishing it and i still have sooooo much work to do to clean it up again haha. im pretty bloody happy to have it back. already had 1 hiccup tho which couldnt be avoided. took it for a quick spin yesterday and i think the idle pulley is gone on the alternator is gone so i have a nice big squeal atm. the mechanic couldnt have known, it wasnt squealing when i left his workshop, and its probably siezed up over the months from dissuse. i bumped in to him at the shops this arvo and he said hell fix it up tomorrow for me.
anyway, like i said im bloody stoked to be back on the road, cant wait to him some tracks and do some camping with everyone.
Awesome stuff bloke.
A good ending. Been a long road. Now you get to enjoy it.
He sprayed wd40 in it to get you out of the shopQuote:
