Re Bilstein shocks. I bought a complete set for a 2006 D22, ZD30 with alloy bar. Also has EFS 2"lift. I had to remove as they are too rough and not dampening when empty, which is most of the time. They maybe good on standard suspension but certtainly not with lift. They didn't rub on...

I have kept accurate records for years of my fuel usage. I have done many comparisons with premium fuels. Some years ago when they first came on the market, I think about 1994, they were between 2 and 4c a litre dearer. I have looked up some records and back in 2006 when unleaded was running...

Bloodviper, Probably, I'm about to trial some Koni 4 x 4 this week will let you know. Tony

Slepax, Cheap answer. Replace the clamp on the intake side of the turbo around the flexible rubber. Common utilux clamp fixed mine. Is a common problem as oil flows with engine gas out of the rocker cover. (Provided no other issues with turbo). You can go further and fit a catch can. I...

Dave, I am not getting a stiffer ride, in fact it has more bounce. Bump is thump and rebound is only a little better. With 4 adults I was bouncing up and down along the road a number of times rather then the shocks ride though it I gather you have standard springs and bars. Regards, Tony

Dave, I see you run Bilsteins. I have just put on a set of 4 on a 06 D22 4WD with EFS 2 inch lift. Rear have longer travel but front are the same. Just completed 500 klm drive and they are worse then the originals which were repalced at 140k. Any advice? Regards, Tony

You're probably right Old Tony. Can't make the Saturday run but I'm going to Sydney early next week which should blow a few cobwebs out.

Thanks guys for your speedy replies and welcome. Although initially scarred by my usual mechanic who was talking possibly pump replacement, Old Tony had it right about diesel simplicity, and Dave and Tweak had it mostly right. As it turns out two simple problems at the same time. In sitting...

Hello to everyone in the forum. I have been reading for some months all the information contained in the threads and find it very interesting and informative. However I now find myself in need of some advice and this is the first time in. I have 2006 Navarra D22 with 3l turbo diesel. Has...
