ok i managed to get the motor out on Saturday. i jacked the motor up about an inch out of engine bay and got to work, i got underneath the car and undid all the bolts for the sump, there's a bracket of some sort at the back of the engine under the stater motor which wraps around the to the...

Haha i just sat down with a rum staring at my ute again. I'm as broke as the next person so I gotta pull this off with as little coin as possible. I removed the starter motor also as this looked to be connected to the gearbox. Well I disconnected the motor as per the diagram I posted earlier...

Hi guys well I'm in the process of pulling the engine out. I've started by getting the top bolts out that hold the engine to the gearbox, doing them in the engine bay was a nightmare so I dropped the gearbox crossmember and lowered the gearbox using a jack. This allowed just enough room...

Yeah your right, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks

From what I understand there's two bolts at the top of the engine , two on the side and the ones on the bottom. If anyone can even give us a link of someone who's pulled out a zd30 engine I would appreciate it. I been quoted 5500 for a second hand motor fitted by south side 4x4 wreckers with...

I'm going to attempt pulling the motor out this weekend if the weather permits. Does anyone know how to unbolt the gearbox from the motor. The service manual has me somewhat confused cheers

I'm not too sure I wanna pull the head off at this Time so I want to see if I can see if any damage has been done underneath the motor so next step is trying to unbolt the gear box from the motor so I can get the motor out and have a nosey at the block through the sump

The blue links are there they're hard to see but I held a rag over the chain while I was turning the engine over to clear the excess oil and there they was.

Cheers rabbit chop here's more pics i lined up the tdc as well as the yellow link to the bottom cog mark as well as the two blue at the top with the two dots had the starter motor connected and kept starting the motor till everything lined up spot on. Took a few attempts but I finally got it.

Thanks 06nav

Not reAlly worth selling then. This ute has been through heaps with me I'd rather turn it unto a garden ornament. What to do? May just keep pulling it down

If I were to sell the truck as is what do u think i would get for it? Sorta feeling dis heartened at the moment

Where abouts are you located!

ha wish i knew, already banked on another motor for worst case scenario im just following the manual.

Hi guys I'm up to here I got the blue links lined up as per the manual and same with the yellow link I have noticed I'm out by an inch on the timing indicator am right to start pulling out the head or should I get everything lined up 100% also do I have to lock the diesel pump? If so how is this...

Nah haven't run it yet. Gunna have a stab at turning her over tomorrow before I dig deeper. Thanks bods will do a search now.

I've pulled out what I'm guessing are the glow plugs all but one look all right. Do I replace the one or the lot? Cheers
