Ive had 2 d22 and both have this issue. Never bothered to try fix it, a few taps usually gets it going.

Yeh sounds a bit underpowered to me. I very rarely have to change out of 5th gear at 100k (though I usually drive at 90), and where I do id say most cars would be knocking back a gear.

I ride 99 rmx 250. I only like riding trails, my wife has shown interest and bought a crf230.

I think most on here have found the supplied template doesnt line up particularly well. I just used it it get a rough idea of main snorkel hole then drilled roughly 10-15mm oversize so I had a bit of play to fit the snorkel where I thought was the perfect fit. Then marked and drilled the bolt...

Yeh, id be trying insurance company again. When you make a claim you have to pay the outstanding premium which would include the missed payment. Surely there is some leniency for late payments.

Yesterday on my way into town, about 10k out, a patrol decided to over take me and the car 50m ahead in one go, stupidly kept the boot into it forcing a little barina coming the other way completely off the road. I reckon he beat me to town by 30 secs.

Bypassing the precleaner is definitely a worthwhile mod imo, got rid of alot of low end lag, feels much more lively now.

I sold my old 04 str with 105k km for $22k and that was back in early 2010, so imo that is over priced. I would think more like 18-19k. I would go for yd25 motor, seems the more reliable engine, plus you get the 6 speed, which the zd30 desperately needs.

My d22 seems to scoot over corrugated roads nicely, stock sus, 165k, no air down. It is about the only terrain it does ride well on. So much better than our pajero which almost feels like it will self destruct.

Would anyone be able to post a pic of their ebay "navara" imprinted snorkel where it mounts to A pillar. I assume it attaches to the lip around the windscreen but when i do this and try to line it up with the template on the car it is out a bit, I cant see where else it would mount though. Just...

Saw on tv last night triton glx for $29990. Don't know much about them except they are fugly as, though id prob still buy one over another d22 if I had that kind of money to spend.

Cheers sparra. That clears things up. I will aim to be there 8.30-9am sat.

Ok then, i should be there sat morning. What time will you guys be heading out from sheeba roughly?

I may be able to make the saturday as I'm only about 1.5 hours away. My d22 is stock as a rock, I have no recovery gear, and little 4 wheeling experience, but keen to have a go. Don't know if id be more of a hindrance or not. I have been up there once on a dirt bike, remember it being very steep...

Don't earth your unit to the Orange wire, it is for the dimmer on the original cd/radio and other lights on the vehicle - there is a sticky somewhere on it, try electrical section. you have likely blown a fuse. Just earth to metal in dash.
