So ended up purchasing the TJM T13, can't wait to recieve it and get it on the car.
A special thanks to John (threedogs) for getting me a good deal at TJM in Alice, wouldnt have been able to get it...

Looks terrific threedogs!
Will have a think about bullbar choices and let you know how I go!

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...

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...

So I'm a very happy man today, got good news on the patrol. Turns out it was just a split fuel line! $350 to repair and il be heading back into town next Friday to pick it up. Little bit annoyed for...

Racv only paid for two days and it's 470ks each way. Returned the hire car today so it was an extra $250 in excess ks but in the scheme of things that's pretty cheap for getting my car towed in Alice...

Thanks for the advice, hopefully that's all it is! Will word the mechanic up on that!

Because I'm under 25 (by three months), I'm "not aloud" to hire a 4wd.
So I've been given a ute which means I can only take the bitumen to kings canyon, 470ks...

Sounds good, just need to find a partner first lol

Also just for anyone who doesn't already know, Nissan are useless.
Spoke with a tech and the only advise he could give was "just get it towed", tried explaining how remote I am and how expensive it...

Checked fuel filter and re primed, didn't do anything.
Took the fuel cap off and heaps of air came out, ran better but still no good.
Check MAF all good.
Checked fault codes with paper clip and...

Yeah it can be done. I had the unfortunate experience of doing it in my xr8 ute when we had the fire evac. Lowered and 19inch rims but I got through. The hire company will tell you not to but plenty...

Ended up finding a pump new for $24 on eBay.
Threedogs, yeah I have the switch for the aerial next to the cigarette lighter plugs in front of the gear stick, doesn't do anything!
Also (probably...

The mechanic actually sent the head away to be refaced so i don't think the place he sent it to would have refaced it if it was too far gone. I just want it to be fixed correctly so I don't have the...

Yeah I've been reading about the EGR valve tonight, I can't see how it would have caused the problem so I'm not too sure why the mechanic suggested that it could be that.
If it is the head gasket...
