The ZD30 will fire if you disconnect the ECU and put starting fluid in the intake. Good check for valves, compression etc. If that works, and it wont fire with the ECU connected, then the first suspect is fuel delivery. Even with all sensors in error/faulty, the ECU will always order the...

Hey Ian, welcome to the forum. You've got the dual cab version, pre-teen kids can sit comfortably in the rear :)

Had this once in a car where the cluctch master cylinder was out of oil... Fill up with brake fluid, and pump the clutch a few times.

You could try to persuade Nissan with a claim on "reasonable expected life", which is a EU consumer protection thingie that might have survived Brexit. But 8 yrs is probably considered a "reasonable expected life" for a car, or at least "reasonable to need some repair". Whether Land Rover has...

I've driven a Volvo V40 that had a smarter approach: When idling, it didn't show liters/100km (or km/l), but liters/hour. Which is really the only sensible thing to do.

Wikipedia has a nice overview of the ZD30 variants. Apart from its use in the Navara and the intercooled bomb in the Patrol is was mostly used for vans, both by Renault and Nissan. Which brings me back to another discussion: It's an engine for slowly and reliably moving a lot of weight. Its not...

Bigger wheels could help... But raising the car would not really improve fuel economy.

There is certainly a white BMW with UK plates in his fourth image. And we all know that it is raining continuously in the UK.

There are only two ways the terminals can get hot: - Bad contacts - The battery is even hotter, and heating them up. Hot terminals expand, making the connection even less stable. You can try to measure the voltage between the lead terminal and the wire into the clamp. Do this with the...

Either your airbag or the airbag controller is broken, or it has been broken, repaired and not reset. There is a procedure in the workshop manual to reset the airbag module. Mine (2003) required a multistep procedure with switching the contact (key) swith on and off on specific intervals. There...

My D22 (which definitely does not have ABS, speed is determined by a gearbox sensor afaik) is perfectly on-spot. 100 on the speedo is 100 on the GPS. 106 on the speedo past the WA police's unmarked white D-Max is a $100 less for new toys a few weeks later.. Measuring long-distance speed with...

As far as I know, the ZD30 only has a boost pressure sensor on the inlet. Together with the swirl valve position (of course, the ECU assumes no EGR block has been added) it guestimates the air flow from there. Thus, if you try to take off in fifth, and automatically floor the pedal as you hear...

Patrol ZD30's failed because they were overheating. Navara ZD30's usually dont fail with the same engine block, because they have no intercooler, so they get less air, and the ECU gives them less fuel. Since they burn less fuel, they produce less power, but also less heat. And heat is what...

I've been successful in the past by using a ty-wrap to secure plugs. Not as neat as a new plug, but a lot cleaner than glue. Of course, you might not be able to secure a tywrap around them.

Here: http://www.autoelektronika.co.rs/English/VP44/repair%20vp%2044%20pump.doc is some info on repairing the electronics on a Bosch VP44 pump (the one used in the ZD30 engine).

I think it should still start without a crank angle sensor. The pump is mechanical and will always inject at TDC due to being directly gear-connected to the crackshaft. It has some electronics to adjust the injected amount and vary the timing slightly, but if that timing is off it will only run...

Those are the pipes for the cabin heating. I would call a few wreckers to see if they have a set available, shouldn't cost to much.

The Patrol was sold with a common rail ZD30 engine. The Navara only had the (earlier) ZD30 without common rail, and later the common rail YD25 engine (and a few earlier engines, omitted for brevity)
