No left em pointing up at the stars can see for miles now on dip just don't try drivin towards me at night without ya shades on!!

Well put her in for her yearly heath check to find my local MOT man failed it yet again on too little clearance on front bump stops... just like he did last year! Told him that he was being a little pedantic and that I could knock em off with a chisel and he would have to pass it... he agreed...

Strange power loss when driving hard under load in third gear only. goes like hell in 2nd and 1st, but when I change up it starts to miss a beat. If I blip the throttle and back off slightly and come back on with the power it will come back up but still with the odd gap in power. I've changed...

thanks for info guys, from what I've read re blanking the EGR can create over boost and people counter this by using a dawes valve to take control of boost manually. Got wrong end of stick re how to fit boost sensor will do it as per your advice on intercooler pipe. What's better mechanical or...

yeah thought the boost would be OK like you said, the exhaust temp needs a tapped hole in exhaust manifold to screw sensor into, I think. Tried to get boost gauge in Stoke today...easier to find rocking horse dung! Going to get one off Flea bay

Been concerned with my 3.0 terrano 2003 as its got the ZD30 patrol engine that has had over boost issues leading to piston failure in no.3 0r no.4 pistons. Been reading about issues on patrol sites and want to fit a boost gauge and Exhaust temp gauge to define if I have over boost. do I just...

What was so hard about getting it off the cop car? Just get in and drive it off!:nenau

Measured otherside... Well otherside is same length as busted one.. that is to say 1230mm Its 15mm longer than its replacement. don't forget its a 3.0 litre 2003 late model could this have anything to do with difference in length? Guy at 1st Nissan did say that there was two sizes depending on...

Failed at the last hurdle! Well I've been stuffed! got under car and mauled my roe off undoing torsion bar adjuster nuts skinned my knuckles etc but did it eventually. rear piece of bar was not too bad it came out quite easily, but front piece was a pig had to heat it up grind a groove in it...

Emergency (continued) Right so far so good Got torsion bar from 1st Nissan in Welshpool,(interesting drive on gas shockers and bump stops, with one torsion bar knackered!) . He knows all about em and keeps em attached to rear crossmember till you need em so that you get the correct side and...

Disaster has struck I'm on holiday with caravan tomorrow going abroad and torsion bar just snapped under terrano! Got a ferry to catch at 10.30 from Dover Going to try and change em tonight but got to get new ones first Have got a set in welshpool so going to get em now anyone in Stoke on Trent...

Just failed MOT due to above, Tester said he couldnt fail it on shockers due to no leaks etc but said they needed changing as they were saggy? I said that I could sort clearance by knocking bump stop off or winding up tortion bars, he just said that that was up to me but bump stops were there...

Thats like the kit I used on mine, went on OK but be careful with the clips as the metal there made off is like putty.... I was overzelous trying to get them to be tight and they snapped! Went to motor factors in Longton and bought set of new clips much better quality Boots have been on 12...

heres a pic by the way how do you jet at the uj on the front end of rear shaft with the shield thing in the way? It doesnt seem to be bolted on anywhere?

Now not too sure if it is bearing or UJs on knuckle next to final drive. no real play in ujs that I can see but there is a squeak when you rotate shaft. Its real difficult to tell . truck only done 85000 so Im inclined to think it might be UJS... is milners open tomorrow?:confused:

Thanks Briggie for your insight wish it was that easy! Squeak aint comming from rear wheel its comming from final drive housing. If you stick your ear next to companion flange there is a rythmic squeak comming from behind it, right where pinion front bearing is housed,when you rotate rear...

done steering stops and just tweeked torsion bars as front was looking a bit saggy. Just gone for test drive and have noticed a squeek from rear offside wheel. It sounds almost like the tyre is rubbing on something as it rotates and happens in forwards and reverse. When going at normal speeds...

Wouldnt that only come from the side where CV joint was bust....not both sides as each went up the curb? (unless both CVs are bust!..god forbid) Just greased stearing stops as suggested and driven it up curb a few times and it appears to be OK no metal on metal sounds wife will be releived...

turned into carpark yesterday with right lock on doing 15 mph. load "graunching noise" issues from both front sides as I went over curb! wife horrified... hates noises from front end since nearside front hub came off last year on motorway at speed!! Ive sorted anti roll bar drop links 6 months...

Here is a pic of my diagnostic plug under my drivers side fusebox. Car is a 3.00 litre diesel SVE long wheelbase late 2003. Any ideas what nissan diagnostics I can use to read faults etc
