Ek stem saam met Wilke. Diesel wat nie "ge atomize" op die suier beland was al die normale olie smering weg en die suier begin dan vasbrand aan die silinder.
Het twee enjins so verloor (Mercedes 352 trok enjin) as gevolg van dieselfde twee foutiewe inspuiters. Skoolgeld. Die diesel eksperts het dit nie reg inmekaar gesit nie en ons het aanvaar dat dit reg was na die herstel.

DMH wrote:Thanks for that Wilkie. I've done just over 305000km on my 2002 Hardbody ZD30. She hasn't given me any major problems - had the turbo serviced once.

Perhaps the issues she's been such an old faithful is because she's been superslow going up hills for as long as I can remember. My 4.2D GQ does better on some hills than her - and that says a LOT. So instead of waiting for any grenades to go boom, I'll get those injectors calibrated and tested. Anything else I should do or look out for chaps? I'm about to do an oil analysis for the first time. Very curious to see what that picks up (but of course it's the next couple of analyses that will really shed some light). Don't want to hijack this thread - so, happy to start a new one!

OOMPI STILL HI-JACKING THREAD :oldtimer:
Consider to replace the water hoses [especially the lower ones] Also the HEATER pipe [that thin as your thumb bugger that hides near the fire wall]
If the ZD 30 is sluggish, also throw out the CATs .. and sommer go 63 mm pipe right through .. no boxes needed.
Clean the intercooler as pften as possible
Clean the MAF sensor [VERY carefully] with ELECTRO KLEEN or Spanjaard Carb Cleaner [die anner goed los n lagie]

Fit a MADMAN EGT sensor

Hi DMH. Just be carefull to think the ZD30 in your hardbody is the same as the ones in a Patrol. They are completely different. I once red that One is a longstroke made is europe and one is a short stroke made in china. :mytwocents:
Being alive is a Blessing!!

PATROL's ZD 30 engines are Ex Spain [where the Terrano engine is from. The Hard Body ZD 30 engines are ex Japan. [ek weet nie van Tjaain nie .. hulle copy Aisiestog enjins en ou Tyottas ]

Maar dan weer aan die annerkant [terwyl ek nou die draad hai-djek, ] die 30. Isuzu enjin is waarop Toy se 30. enjins baseer is [glo my nie ??? gaan koop elkeen se head gasket en kom wys my di everskille :-) ] :oldtimer: :oldtimer:
