Dont worry I tried, consumer affairs are as weak as piss as well. Basically in the end the wreckers said to me, "we will get our "mechanic" too look at it and if he says its fine then its at your cost" this is at the wreckers I might add, yeah nah I dont think so. I offered to send it back at my...

Like I said mate,rather PM, not keen on getting sued for slagging them off by name Whipped my original head off yesterday, cracks through every glow plug hole but no blown head gasket (That I can make out) bores still excellent with the cross hatch still visible and no water marking. looks good...

Given the bullshit from the wreckers I would say the motor only had "low" 800 000k on it given how it runs...would never know really...even the video of it running could have been a different one. live and learn! Was seriously considering a ZD from MAG engines in UAE. Even with the dollar as it...

Yeah mate over 400, It is still running fine but was just starting to blow a little bit of water out of the recovery bottle in the heat pulling the car trailer. Never got hot even up the range though so I'm thinking a crack between the exhaust and water jacket. If I was going to replace the head...

Afternoon all. Made a $3500 mistake and bought a "low" km ZD from the wreckers sight unseen from SE qld, big mistake. no oil pressure and less power then the one I pulled out with over 400k on it. Of course the wreckers are just scum and say tough shit. warranty means nothing...PM me if you...

Afternoon all. I am thinking of getting another motor for my ute. the one in there still runs well but is crap on fuel and has bugger all torque at low RPM. I was looking from the wreckers for one a bit younger than mine (415k) and came across a lot of rebuilds for the price of an old motor from...

cheers mate. my original plan was to pull it out and give it a birthday but situation has changed a bit, couple of months ago my SS got drowned in the floods (no big deal, thats what insurance is for) which leaves me without a spare car so i can have the ute off the road for a prolonged...

Hello all, Being in the 400k club I have been thinking about maintaining the longevity of the donk in my 06 3 litre d22. I don't want to go crazy and spend like 4k on a rattle gun special reco which turns into a shitheap I was thinking about the idea of just doing the bottom end shells...

2006 D22, 400k and still on original clutch with nothing done to engine. thinking of a turbo change as its getting a bit noisy!

was thinking as much mate. still got plenty of go left, just got home with the car trailer and a 1800kg tractor on the back for 100km and up the range. 2.6t all up and she handled it well. was considering getting a lowish KM engine and putting it on the stand and rebuilding a replacement slowly...

what sort of rough price would one be looking at for an overhaul vs new unit? Ive got another navara same year down the paddock with a reasonable looking turbo on it but it went for a drink so im not sure if its worth the risk fitting it to my ute. If i had an inter cooler I would be less...

There is in Cairns but I was thinking that maybe after 400k a new one might be in order? cheers.

got an 06 Nav down the back for parts if anyone needs anything. ZD engine was drowned but I'm sure all the ancillary stuff will be alright. cab is rooted where I picked it up with the crane to take it down the back. located in FNQ.

Morning all, After reading up a bit on replacement turbos I'm tossing up between getting a new OEM turbo or a forefront industries replacement. Does anyone have any experience with a forefront to suit a ZD30 in an 06 d22? old bus has got 400k on it and is leaking a little bit of oil (which it...

G'day guys and girls, been a long time reader and just decided to register. My old girl is a 2006 d22 3l Navara owned from new with just shy of 400k on the clock. After reading all the comments on the internet about ZD30's being a POS I beg to differ and can say without a doubt that mine has...
