Heater hose burst again today,other end he he,,, so patched until I pick them up tomorrow,

After that Ill be happy temps are 88c max with my driving.
after a week or two with the new hoses Ill fill with a decent coolant

I also replaced the metal tube that goes around the back of the motor,
with some 5/16th copper tubing,

That goes to the egr valve. You probably could have just looped the hose back.

Nah all clear hoses only came in today so after I drop off lily
Ill grab the hoses and fit them at TJM. I need to pick some
stuff up at the laser cutters too

Drove to CBC Airport West to pick up two heater hoses $103.40,
water dripping in the car park, no big deal the hoses were getting
changed anyway. Topped it up and drove to TJM only 700mtrs ,
parked around the back and changed both hoses, for anyone with a ZD30
I would think of a way to insulate them a bit better, maybe some exhaust wrap.
They are very close to the turbo.
Anyway topped it up with water and I had water pouring out from underneath.
Its parked at TJM till I can figure out how to get it home. looks terminal
Ive tried to patch but I will just sell it now,, absolute cost for my mate with a new head to fix is
a few grand as apparently there is a lot of labour involved in pulling out a ZD30 then
stripping it down, not sure what Ill do .but looks like Ill try and sell it and get what
I can , bummer I love my Patrol,,,oh well we'll see

Where was the water coming from?

[threedogs]

Too much pressure looked like the thermostat housing area, flowing out at a great rate
Ill have to wait see till it gets back here, when ever that is

[Winnie]

Can your mates at TJM there have a look at it for you?

[threedogs]

Nah mate they only fit accesories there,
Was just reaing 4x4 EARTH and some guy is saying if you block the EGR
pipe on a ZD30 all will be good, Dont agree with that statement at all..
Ive driven 220k and pretty sure its gone now, just a matter of waiting
till I can get that Nissan mechanic to look at it,,,,busy man
Bugger really as power was still good, Damn damn damn
