We did test for water with no apparent water in it. We assume it was bad fuel but if that's the case, why didn't it improve once we drained the tank and refilled it with good fuel?

So despite selling my D22, I'm back, this time with a new problem with my father's D22. As with my old D22, it suddenly started surging in an almost identical manner. So naturally I assumed that it was the same problem which was the Throttle control sensor. Initially after changing to another...

So I eventually ended up discovering the cause of the problem. After living with it for a while, suddenly the accelerator started acting up by cutting out as well. Thinking it was an all new problem, I pulled out the accelerator assembly and gave the Throttle Position Sensor a blow out. It has...

Just wanted to give Caddy Storage in Blacktown NSW a plug on their brilliant products and service. I purchased a canopy for my Ranger there a few months back and they turned heaven and earth for us. We were in Sydney to take my daughter to Westmead Hospital and thought we'd call in to...

I'm not 100% but it had a bad fuel blockage when I first bought it and the symptoms mirror that. So I assume it's either fuel or air related. When I bought it 8 years ago, it was surging so I pulled the tank out and the fuel intake hose was almost completely blocked up with grass seeds. The...

Thanks for your advice Old Tony. I'll give it all a try and see what comes from it. The truck has never had any smoke. I've always thought it remarkable that an old diesel would never blow much smoke at all. And the performance hasn't actually been affected. You mentioned that the intake...

Hi guys, "Little Red" (D22) has developed a problem. A month or two ago I filled up at a BP and went on an hours drive. It was running fine before hand but part way there, whenever the engine was under load it would give a bit of a cough as if the engine was starving for diesel. Once I got...

Thanks guys, It turns out that Nizzbits sells the clips individually. Only $4 each. I didn't think they would considering they don't sell the seal separately. I might just get a couple for now. If I can find a seal for it from Clark Rubber then all is good. If not, I might just try the...

I have discovered that the seal in the airbox is completely gone and I've lost one of the clips that hold the lid on. Nizzbits quoted $155 just for the lid (seal isn't sold separately) so it's obviously going to be very expensive to replace the whole unit. I am looking at going to a Clark...

I've been reading up and it appears that an oil catch can can be advantageous for my ZD30. Does anyone know anything or have any experience with ZD30s with a catch can fitted? Is it worth it? If so, do you have any recommendations as to where to get a decent one?

Hi guys, A few months ago, I took my D22 4wding including some playing in very muddy, deepish water. Despite not having a snorkel, I had no trouble, didn't stop in any water and the truck ran fine for the rest of the trip. The following morning I started it up and it idled extremely rough and...

Thanks Stelianos. I'll look into those. Mike, who stole the Jam out of your donut? That's a great way to help a new member feel welcome. If you'd read my post I mentioned that "every vehicle is different and people have different priorities". What works for one person's vehicle might not...

Hi guys, I know this has been covered before but every vehicle is different and people have different priorities. I have a D22 4x4 single cab. It still has all the standard suspension underneath other than some TJM shocks that I put in about 60,000kms ago. Ever since I bought the truck, its...
