Seems most likely cause. There will be a hose from the top of the rocker cover, PCV pipe, and it will be escaping from their into the air cleaner. Can you get your hands on an engine compression meter? It's a good indication of the helath of the engine. 140-150 psi I think is about what you...

Keep an eye on where the bolts go. I think there are 3 or 4 screws that hold the plastic casing on, and they are different lengths? Haven't done it for a while. Its a good time to add relays into the system too. These switches die because they are carrying the full current for the headlights...

Welcome along, Tomo. Can't help you much with the lift kit specifically, but yeah, you lift the suspension higher off the ground, then the angle of the CV increases, which increases wear on the CV past its design limit. Do you need to get the lift engineered in your state? Might pay to talk to...

I just got a set from supercheap that grip like Dion said. Also had the problems Dion said :)

Hey bushymuff, when you took the gearbox out, did you have ot remove the torsion bars, or did you manage without it?

Not sure about your problem gearbox, but Here is your gearbox fs5w71c floor shift, 5 speed manual.. And this is your diff ca46 4.6 ratio

Sounds like the lay shaft. 4th gear is basically straight through the gearbox (hence the 1.00:1 ratio), everything else runs through a second shaft.

Thanks guys. No repco here, but will try our local fella. Good to hear about the injector. Now I just have to hope I have all the bits.

Dave, Dion? Somebody????

What Dave said. You'll know the ute inside out by the time you've finished! You need a heater box at some stage?

Ninja mechanic?

Yes, you're right about the height. I meant the length. They won't fit in the bay without modifying the dariator, crossmembers, driveshaft etc, as this fellow has done. A VQ would indeed go nicely.

Found a fellow across the ditch doing just this, in fact the RB25DET. I did consider doing this myself (an RB30, actually, but same size block etc) at one stage, but decided it was too difficult - the motor is just too long to fit in the engine bay. Having read what he is doing to get it to...

Hey, our last house up here in the Whitsundays had a wood combustion stove. We'd use it too, if it got really cold, like below 20.

Being a diesel noobie, I'm determined to strip down this TD27T before installing it in the nav, jsut to get my head around it and so on. Plus, good opportunity to make sure all gaskets are up to scratch, get rid of oil leaks etc. So, first questions. Aim was to remove the injectors and take...

The temp sitting half way normally doesn't rule out a head gasket, but no bubbles is good. You losing water? How does it go sitting at the lights? You using the correct coolant, or water? Was the radiator for the td27, or for a TD27T (not sure if there is a difference there, but there is a...

Bubbles in the radiator? The other thing that can cause overheating is a head gasket leak.

Very good. I've pulled off the EGR, so I'm also going to pull off the intake manifold and give it a clean up as well.

You know, I really should, shouldn't I. I'll add it to the list. Not something I've done before. Is it just the seals at the front and rear of the crankshaft?

Well, I bought the 40mm socket and it fits, with a bit of gentle persuasion. Now I just need a 3/4 inch breaker bar.
