Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I took my roof sheets off a couple at a time and put the perforated sisalation from gutter to gutter. I can now work in the shed ok with a fan going on a hot day. Car stays cool too.

I needed a basic welder for home stuff and bought a cheap gasless mig. It is simple to use, hasnt broken down. I am by no means a welder but manage to stick metal together pretty decent when needed.

cheers
I'll just stick with what I have i think as the vehicle is running extremely well with the minor mods i have done to intake...intercooler next

Yeah I have a snorkel and have removed the factory inlet piping to the air box with 3". Seems to be soaking up heat from the engine before it even gets to the box.
Would aluminium piping dissapate and/or reject heat better than the factory rubber radiator style hoses?

Where do you install the oil return pipe on the provent system?

Hi all Wondering if a bonnet vent mounted on a diesel turbo will assist in cooling the air intake piping? Popped my bonnet after a run down the freeway and the intake was pretty hot. Maybe a heat shield as well? Any opinions? And would it be worth the effort wrapping all the piping before and after ...

Hi Guys I am looking for peoples opinion on oil catch cans for turbo diesels. Would like to stop the oil getting into my intercooler and plumbing and have read various reports of good and bad. Spotted one at the spare parts joint, its a DRIFT brand and has the larger in and out pipes on it . Good or ...

I needed extra top end on my courier and upgraded exhaust to 2.5inch from dump pipe back, fitted a snorkel and changed the filter to a high flow pod. HUGE difference.

Hi Guys Have a 2.5 TD courier "WL" engine. Has a little black box behind drivers kick panel. Is this a PCM (power control module)or something else? I recently ordered in a workshop cd for several vehicles including the UK Ranger WL and WLT engine and has reference to a pcm in the same location as my ...

Hi
I did one on a 1991 triton and didnt require a press or anything, just tapped the old one off with a block of would and a hammer , same with the new one. That was after all the necessary retaining nuts etc were taken off

Hi Guys Have a courier 2.5TD which has recently at start up blows huge plume of smoke and idles like a dog for a minute. Is it just the colder weather? or should i be lookin at the injectors or something. Its 20000 km since fuel filter was changed and i had a look for the gauze filter in the banjo ...

I had some good success charging them in a rechargeing unit with no problems until one day after i removed them the end on one battery became a missile and smashed through my oven door...so not a good idea i reckon now.

yeah i think i'll do that, thanks for the tip

thanks for the advice, will take a look at the gearbox breather

not watery at all, dont go off road much (unfortunately), has a breather, there was a fair amount of air pressure when fill plug released, could be blocked breather perhaps? too much heat?

Hi Guys
Any idea what would make gearbox oil black?
Changed mine at the recommended 120,000 service and it looked more like engine oil.
Its an 03 Courier
Cheers

Hey Guys
I have recently upgraded exhaust and fitted a snorkel to 03 TD courier. Should I now have the vehicle in to be retuned to allow for the increased air flow? it doesnt seem to have an engine control unit. As it is my first diesel I am not too sure on how it all works yet.
Cheers

I just did a 2.5" exhaust mandrel bent and fitted a snorkel and its like driving a completely different car, as for the gearbox - no problems so far although i treat my vehicles with respect - good value for money i reckon having a courier

Hi Guys New here, hello all I was considering mounting a pod filter into the original air box of a 03 courier turbo diesel . Is there likely to be any improvement to air flow into the engine? I currently have the big barrel air cleaner. Have recently upgraded exhaust and installed a snorkel trying ...
