Having resolved (fingers crossed) my injector issues I am now onto the next stage of the interior revamp. Having already got a boost gauge fitted in its own pod I have been bought an oil pressure gauge and double pod so am going to spray pod white and mount it centrally above centre console...

Well what can I say, the fault returned, ticking and power loss, after about 50miles so took off all the injectors for testing. Most diesel specialists will test these old style mechanical injectors for free, I took mine to Droitwich diesel and Tim the owner duly tested them and the verdict was...

Thanks for that J-Tac. I can live with 0mm offset, I shall be looking at new shoes and rims in the new year. Just done the valve clearances using the manual I downloaded here and using Solarmans advice on backing off quarter turn instead of feeler blades. Also removed small filter from banjo...

Got my new tezzer "05 plate earlier this year and the fob didn't work (its the NATS one with buttons on the key) so followed the guide I found on here to sync it and hey presto, so then I dug out my old one from my "98 plate maverick (separate fob with red and black buttons) synced them both...

Mmm some very nice looking trols on here........

I'm running my original maverick alloys at the moment and want to push them out 30mm so they run flush with the arches. I don't know what they are offset at as standard so on a steely what offset should I be looking for to achieve this. Tyres are maxis bighorn 235/75 r16 and will do rims and...

Just make sure you check thoroughly for rot. This is the biggest bug bear by far, there are plenty out there but not many that haven't been subject to the rust worm. Check the mot history online before even thinking about a viewing. I spent alot of time with an AA man who had what appeared to...

Good point Fez, I'm going to put the money towards offset rims. Not worth the risk!

Thanks Jay and Mr K, appreciated. How can you tell if they are good quality or not? Seen a few on e bert for around £75 a pair any tips on what to look out for?

Should have posted a pic of the needle pre clean as there was a carbon deposit around at least a quarter of the tapered section of the needle which I guess would tally with your theory that the needle was unable to seat properly. As I have only cleaned the injector and put it back on and the...

Thanks Rick, all good still, just checked it again with no clips in sight. You got a theory on why i'd have diesel squirting out under load? Do you think dirt or carbon build up could affect the internal seal allowing some higher pressure diesel to be forced into the low pressure leak off line...

Omg, that is scary! Definitely going to hold back on those. Thanks for that, much appreciated.

So going back to an earlier point on wheel spacers, are they really that bad? Anyone enlighten me on what the down sides are?

Fully tested now and still bone dry without a clip in sight! Good shout Rik re silicon pipes and DERV. I can't believe how smooth its running, feels like a new engine and a very easy job to remove and disassemble. Got to love these trucks!

Thanks Toska, I'm pleased to report that a further test today with load and higher revs has been successful, still dry as a bone. Like the silicon tube idea though, especially if coloured. Ive been spending the last 2weeks pulling up on customers drives and having to dash out with a paint tray...

So what's the problem with spacers, I know its only cosmetic but was looking at the bolt on 30mm ones just to push them out a little not beyond the arches. I'm intrigued by the horror stories? Anyone got one?

Thanks, I love it. Going to put double pod on top of dash in line with console and add oil pressure gauge to existing boost gauge again coded white. All I'll need then is some underbody neon and wheel spinners! Not!

Ive only got a chrome one, nis spec 1st are a specialist Nissan breakers. Had a few items from them and they are great, really friendly and fast postage, well worth a try. I did my mirrors on my old one, went to black hence only got chrome now, but as I recall you do just pop off the triangle to...

Oops!

Updated centre console Ta da!
