Good read , sort of a shame it never eventuated.
Any teething probs with the TD4.2? cooling?

Cheers, 3D. It didn't eventuate because I had to give myself a reality check. Driving a turbo'ed 4.5 around the country with a couple of tons on the back would have resulted in a horrendous fuel bill.
The TD42T goes really well with the auto. It's a much more "unhurried" feeling driving it compared to the 4.5 which had to be given a bit more boot to get up in the revs before it would start to pull properly.
No heating issues at all. Big Ebay alloy radiator with new genuine water pump. Put in a new Tridon 77* thermostat and 50% Nulon coolant. Doesn't get over 80 city or highway.
I've only done 150 kms with it and haven't seen the fuel gauge move yet.
Need to get it tuned now.

with that oil line into the sump all the shops Ive seen do it, use a big centre punch Whack then use a 3/4 tap and tap a thread.
Never had a problem but a bit rough imo
