Hey TD, there is a lot of talk about electric fans. The main cooling fan is (was?) the viscose mechanical fan on the water pump. Unless you have changed something, that is how the 3.0DDi are built,...

Of course if you had fitted a Beaudesert after market exhaust, the bung would already be there :thumbup:
My EGT probe was a breeze to fit, just a spanner for the old bung and the new compression nut...

If you have limp mode issues on heavy acceleration, then it works--no limp since I installed it over a year ago--and that includes some sand hills on the Simpson :-)))

I avoided the limp mode by fitting an aftermarket oversize AFM (air flow meter) housing. Aluminium and just fits in place of original. It came from HPDiesel in SA. Not cheap at $250 but it just...

The Dawes valve is to limit boost the whatever maximum you set. It has zero effect until it hits that maximum. The needle valve replaces the computer control for VNT (turbo) and helps with spool up...

Nope! I drove the same with either setting.
Just does not seem to make a (good) difference.

About two years ago I installed a dual dawes setup-first with a TPS switch and electronic control, then with a simple "high/low" manual switch. I ran 10 psi low and 17 psi high. Logic was to save on...

You could check out the Navman "MiVue 530" or better models. They have GPS location on "events", pick up side hits etc. They mount VERY nicely beside the rear view mirror so out of the way.

If anyone cares, the following come from my workshop manual:
Idle speed 147 kPa 21.3 psi
2,000 rpm 539 kPa 78.1 psi
4,000 rpm 736 kPa 106.72 psi
So if you plan on installing...

We recently completed a "solo" West/East crossing along the French Line. It was late in the season, so tracks cut up kinda badly, especially on the approaches.
We were fairly well loaded, food,...

Overhead works really well. plus space for sunnies on either side, and a drawer at back for EPIRB, tyre gauges etc etc. Mike can hang on either side.

Fitting extension was easy--getting the old pin out took most time. I took your advice and cut a cardboard guard to protect the paint etc.
I found your write-up and pics on the door strut--looks...
