Thats mine sorted, rear chassis rail better than new all rust cut out and removed and 2mm steel welded in, also had to do the rear of sills after taking the arch flares off, and bits of the arches were gone:augie :)

Do hope you get it sorted as you've did some serious work:thumb2 Just been checking my Trol over as it due its MOT next month and I'm glad I did:eek: Rear offside chassis rail is rotten:eek: nearside is perfect as I injected it with Dinitrol a few years back and I must have missed the rear of...

Always new you would get another T2. Would get another myselt but not a 2.7. I got a 2.8 Trol due to the early 3.0DI grenading. Have done a few mods the mine and its now on a par power wise with a 3.0ltr and I love straight 6 engines. Enjoy your new toy

Sounds like the MAF to me on Patrol 4x4 they recon its MAF failure that can cause the ZD to grenade in the 1st place. The ZD also has a MAP sensor that can cause issues. MAF's for ZD are not expensive and in my opinion cleaning the things is a total watse of time and effort. If you do get a...

Turbo doesn't have a wastegate as its a variable vane turbo, could be the vanes sticking and the EGR could be sticking too. Best thing to get is a boost gauge to tell whats happening. also check out AndrewK's thread with turbo problems and that will explain how the turbo operates on a 3.0DI...

Have a look here: http://www.taubenreuther.com/?id=05 site has changed since I got my stuff. I got ironman shocks from westcoast4x4 I lifted mine and the BFG's AT's looked to small in the arches (265's) so sold them and got grabber AT2's 285/75x16 (33") and it looks much better. As already...

Hi Andrew, have been reading in the place of the patrol guru's that you are getting somewhere near to sorting out this issue:thumbs :clap

Come on Dave, I was only doing 60mph obeying the national speed limit when you saw me:lol That was my first run after boxing up the engine checking EGT and boost with the chip still connected:augie Did another 10mins later with it disconnected and it was much the same with the boost controller...

we job is done:thumb2 what a pain. As clivvy said there is no socket on the market:nenau well I couldn't find one. The 2 I ordered with the cut out window, 27 & 28mm arrived and the 28 was 2 big and 27 would not go over the sensor metal cover, so I took them back and got 2x 27mm bi-torx...

Went to MM this morning and they were very unhelpfull:naughty Would not sell me a single 28mm socket as they said they dont sell singles and they only sell kits of different injector removal tools, I knew they sold kits and single sockets after checking out the website. Guy tried to sell me a...

Will check it again in morning to make sure it fits:thumbs Can't find the correct one one the website at MM, Dave have you got a part no?? :thumb2

Wire is on side of injector, if the socket is the correct size it should slide down past it:eek: well it looks as if it will, I hope:eek: Failing that it will be getting chopped, but as already said it might open up when torque (me) is applied:augie:doh I keep you posted

Hi guys did some googling and found this http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&ds=pr&sugexp=llsfp&pq=diesel+injector&xhr=t&q=Diesel+Injector+Socket+28mm&cp=27&biw=1209&bih=670&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=15561657040726739078&sa=X&ei=iKaYTaLYO4jp4gbkw-TUAQ&sqi=2&ved=0CFUQ8wIwAA# Can get it in...

Hi guys decided to get the injectors in my trusty 2.8 checked and reconded as required. Got No2 to No6 out no problem with a 27mm or 1" 1/16 deep socket:thumb2 When I turned my attention to No1 with the lift sensor which has not got flat faces to get a spanner on, as it is toothed like a...

Blocking the EGR in a 2.8 will not cause any problem and it will stop the dirty exhaust gases recycling (EGR) from sooting up the intake. Buy a new EGR gasket and make a template from it. Look here, its in french but just get google to translate. http://www.patrol-gr.net/trucs64.php :thumb2

Great doc and loads of info from the Patrol guru's:thumb2 :clap

Keep us posted and hope you get it sorted:thumb2 I've been tinkering with mine and fitted a manual boost controller to hold the wastegate shut to maintain boost for longer:augie :thumb2

Andrew the gromet is on the drivers side down the bulkhead under brake Servo etc, its about 2" Diameter there is one on passenger side but its harder to get at due to ABS and exhaust. :thumb2

sounds about right:thumb2 The hardest part of the job is getting the 4 fan belts on and off:eek: Where did you get the cambelt from. Does it have the timing marks on it as they can only be fitted one way £100 is not bad as its a few hours work removing, Rad, belts, fan & coupling, pulley...

Richard have a good read at the test procedures. Sounds like it is spiking on spool up and overshooting and reaching more than 18psi before 2000rpm bring on the MIL:doh I know you've not got a boost gauge, but you can still do the tests at stated RPM and see if it faults. :thumbs
