Its a great feeling when you fix a rattle thats been annoying you for ages. doesnt' matter if its a small job or a big one

went to diesel-tec and told me the noise was normal straight away. it sounds pretty bad but he reckon's its fine so i'll just keep driving it haha.

i can only just hear the tappets so they'll be right for a while.

thanks for your help

ok yeh hopefully its the fuel.

stupid slack diesel shops in my area weren't open on saturdays but hopefully get it checked out soon. i'll just keep driving it in the meantime haha.

thanks for the help!

Is fuel rattle really bad for the motor? Just like a stuffed injector or something?

not myself got mates with them and this rattle doesnt' sound right. done a few hundred kms in it in the last couple days and the noise hasn't really changed. louder when colder.

still try and get it checked out tomorrow.

cheers

hey,

yeh only just noticeable in the cab driving along freeway but pretty obvious when you're under the bonnet just revving it. hopefully can take it to a diesel mech tomorrow for them to have a look at.

hey guys,

just bought a gq with the 4.2 diesel.

had a clutch fan that was locked on solid and used to scream its head off at revs. i've removed that and now i've discovered a rattle between 2200ish to about 3500 or maybe more bit hard to tell.

it only seems to be evident under light throttle and ...

struth do you need reception to located yoursel on the map or does it work off the gps? want to use my htc phone

cheers

what ap do you use? is there an oziex ad?

something to do with auto hubs perhaps?

what do you run struth?

after getting the engineers requirements i don't even think its worth it. maximum total lift allowed is 50mm and he wants all the welds done by a ticketed welder.

the bolt on/off option is good though

G'day,

about to start putting a 304 injected into my gq dual cab.

spoke to my engineer about my engine mounts and he won't let me use a lower control arm bush setup and wants me to use conventional commodore engine mounts.

reasons for this are due the the control arm bushes having about a 1/10th ...

yeh tubesales in thomastown seems to be cheapest around. however a new stainless supplier just opened up in kilsyth up from corner of canterbury and liverpool rd. prices are pretty good and service is great

would this be the same as a m10000? looks like its got a bloody huge drum on it

gregorys from repco are about 50 i think. well worth it having it in the shed while you're doing something. very comprehensive

welded heaps of lsds in cars so don't see why you couldn't do it in a 4wd. all about how much access you have to get in there. sometime you will need to split the whole centre apart which sucks

how to you propose he will compress the rings to put new piston back in?

probably be alot cheaper to get a second hand dizzy off the forums and then fit the pertronix yourself.

what exaclty is fibre glass rot? is it a visual thing or something that happens from the inside out?

in a similar boat (sorry) to bad religion same price bracket etc

i just cut the shape that i wanted in mine then the auto glass guy came made a template off it and got a piece of glass made to suit then fitted it for me. cost me 180

reco'ing a ps pump wouldn't increase its power though would it? changing bearings and seals won't do anything to help the pumps peformance??

my ps pump on my gq is not as good as with others so just wondering if its worth reco'ing or trying to find a new one?

thanks

where did you get the sandwich plate from? assuming thats where people have plumbed the lines from?

cheers

Come on Bru, you already know the answer to this.

It's a hoist not a socket set. If you can't afford a GOOD quality aussie/american/german/british made item, then buy the best second hand aussie/american/german/british made one you can afford then have it overhauled. When the chinese bullshite ...

does it matter which way it runs?

if you're car is overheating due to lack of water the lpg system will generally freeze over quite quickly and the car won't run

what gearbox and bellhousing you running with the falcon engine in the patrol?

thanks

how does this stuff go with water? got no carpet in my patrol and just need something to keep the exhaust heat off the passenger floor

thanks

awesome work mate. bit over half way through doing mine at the moment.

did you're engineer reccomend the extra body mounts? seems lIke a good idea

Calvin

i've got same kinda set. not too bad for most things on a car but for bigger circlips quality pliers are much much much better

getting even more off topic here but what are the later model 3litre patrol diesels lIke? are they based on the zd30 at all?
