Try using PURPLE METAL polish. $30.00 at Autobarn. Beats anything I've used in the past

Ordered and ultimately received the new pipe from Plazmaman (thanks for the link Busiboy) Fitted it yesterday, no problems. Goes so much smoother with a noticable increase in power. I bought the 550 for towing a 2.6 tonne caravan but I think I might go into ute racing now, this thing pulls...

Managed to get a photo on the gallery page.

The smaller truck is powered by a 24v wheelchair motor. Carries two adults or six kids !!

Like your thinking Tony. Currently have . . . Brown Davis long range tank, Old Man Emu HD suspention with airbags, alloy bull bar, spots, roof rack, side awning . . . .so far! Needs new tyres soon . . . thinking of 285AT's. I do a small amount of 4x4 and a lot of towing. 2.5 tonne Roadstar...

OK. Final outcome. The company that fitted the fuel tank and in the process crushed the fuel lines, have put the matter to rights and to my satisfaction. A good outcome. Alas, my holidays are over and it'll probably be about two years before I can get that amount of time off again, still, I...

The interesting thing is that Bay City replaced the filter (which stopped the crap from getting to the engine) and cut it open to show me all the foreign matter, and, and to demonstrate how much the fuel flow had been restricted . . . . . . . . . ??????? With the fuel lines, both the delivery...

Bay City Auto . . . . . 5 months Boettchers . . . . . . . 1 day ????????????!!!!!!!!!

Well guys, a final update to this sordid story. I did forget to mention that approx a month before the vehicle developed its first fault, I had a long range (140ltr) tank fitted by ARB in Hervey Bay. ( I also had Old Man Emu suspention fitted with airbags). Anyway it appears that the tank...

Hi 4byfor, Bay City replaced the entire rail so I can only suppose that the relief valve would have been included in that. They did tell me that they had replaced the boost valve . . . I wonder if that's the same thing? Anyway, it looks like things are (finally) starting to happen. The vehicle...

Aussie, thank you for a very informative article. It has highlighted a lot of points. Everything I read in this article is as ACL explained. However when your claim or expected claim exceeds $25,000.00 then they will advise you that ,after they have tried to mediate, your only other option is...

Aussie, I take your point in regards to consumer affairs, however their tribunal only extends to $25,000. In my case this involves a $75,000. truck (550 premium pack with just about all the extras, plus Old Man Emu suspention and air bags and a 140lt fuel tank.) Never the less I am pursuing the...

Called round to Bay City (again) as there had been no calls as to progress. Have now been informed that Nissan are considering the intercooler amongst other things. Wayne, (Service Manager, Bay city), informed me that they had worked on the vehicle for about half an hour to an hour yesterday and...

Well Monday came and went and no call from Bay City. Went round on Tuesday to check on progress only to be told the vehicle had faulted on the road test and was now worse than ever. I was told by Wayne that Nissan were now looking at the ABS system. I complained of the lack of communication and...

Well it's now the 11th Oct and Bay City informed me yesterday that the vehicle should be ready to go on Monday. Injectors must be a big job, eight days to change them!! Ohh, and it hasn't been road tested so we may not be out of the woods yet. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the input guys. Tony, your right in what you say, if the dealer dosn't do what Nissan Tech tell them they don't get paid and in this case the dealership have stated that they have no idea whats causing the problem and are following the Nissan Tech instructions. Tappet, I understand...

Hi BERNDTY I think your the bloke that I've been quoting to these mechs at Bay City. I had heard that there was another one with this problem. And your quite right I saved close to $8000 by buying elsewhere as well, and all because the salesman was to bloody lazy to move a couple of cars. Bay...

What makes this whole sorry mess even harder is that I like the vehicle. I use it for towing a 2.6 tonne caravan and the occasional 4x4ing. I'm currently on my annual holidays so the handbrake and I are sleeping in the caravan pretending that we are some where out west . . . . . oh well there's...

Back on line. WOW Thanks guys, love the support. Just to quickly reply in general . . .Australia does not have lemon laws, we have Australian Consumer Laws that state if an item does not perform as the manufacturer claims, you are entitled to a replacement or a refund. Thats the line I intend...

I'm generally very patient, working on the theory that if you p ss people off, they will only find ways to hurt you! Of course this works in reverse as well. Most people don' see that one coming . . . I'll keep you all informed of the progress. Oh camo, I had an offer to make it dissappear for...
