Cheers mate, I'll post up the next bits when I can get back to it. If I can get the engine running sweet then there's a load of preservation work to do on a pretty solid undercarriage. There's a bit of body work and spraying that needs doing but I need to get the sooty exhaust under control.

I agree entirely, I've owned a Volvo V70 D5 from new in 2002. It's a cracking engine, if not a classic and its had its fair share of problems that have been worked through and fixed over its life, regular EGR clean out has been central to this. I can see similar concerns with the ZD30 engine but...

Cheers. :thumbs when I got the T2 there was a replacement solenoid zip tied to the original one and I suspect that the MAF and boost sensors had also been replaced. I know that the car had previously been chipped but without any ECU remapping, the chip was removed before I got it. On some of...

In the reading that I've done post 2004 ZD30 vehicles have been mentioned fairly frequently. The way my T2 has been giving out smokey exhaust emissions is consistent with doing the NADS mods. Catch can to remove oil from air being cycled into the intake. Cut down on EGR or remove it...

Cheers to you 🍺

Cheers 🍻

Cheers. My iPhone has never been so mucky and slippery, like some women I would like to have known :lol:lol

Hopefully :thumbs

Cheers, :thumb2 I uploaded directly from iPhone this time and added to the thread using PC. I think I'm getting there.

Here we go again. Hole cut in heat shield, refitted and thermocouple in place. Brackets made up for Provent 200. Fitting here between air filter housing and washer bottle, using mounting bolts for those two items. Holding Provent here. Clearish pipe in background is what I'm using...

Looking good, we're both moving in the same direction with these mods at the moment :thumb2

Here goes Ian, no more waiting. I've had the T2 for 16 months now and it's always been a bit of a smoker, although it cleared its last mot no problem. Advisory on the pads led me to change them and also the discs, which turned out to be beyond their wear limit. Other than standard service items...

Have got Dawes boost control valve and needle valve winging their way to me :thumbs

Hi, and welcome to the forum :thumbs

Yes, this is my experience over the last year. It's a bit disconcerting at first but what also surprised me was how quickly the fresh oil turns black. I've currently got mine in bits, cleaning out the airways, new front section for exhaust due to go on, Provent 200 half fitted and rest of NADS...

I've currently got my T2 stripped down to throttle body off and cleaned (2nd time in 15 months ownership and it was $hitty) and contemplating draining the coolant out and having the intake manifold off. All the toys for improvement are now in hand or ordered apart from Dawes (type) Valve and...

I'll be happy to lose some of the soot and delighted to gain a few more mpg but I suspect it will also cost me an intercooler too.

Many thanks Davey and Jay. I was looking at Darren's site last night. It's interesting how much more stuff like this is available in the States, same for some tools too. Cheers, Mick

Hi Jay, can you give me a link for the needle valve please? I've had the intercooler and throttle body off my Terrano ZD30 this weekend to clean them and I'm considering doing the standard Patrol NADS mods on it. Have got boost gauge already and have ordered EGT gauge and the Provent 200. I'm...

Just pressed the E bay button on that to replace the F@rthorn on mine. Cheers, Mick
