I had my Snorkel and a set of LED Beacons for when we are on call out with the SE4x4R, as my pressy from my wife.

We are going away to Wales for Christmas, so it will be a nice relaxing time for us and the ferrets.

It will only show positive boost pressure, it will not show vacuum, well it doesn't on mine, and I tapped into the system, after the Turbo, on my Td.

Didn't on mine either (tdi) & I plumbed in at the turbo:augie your eyes will be stuck to it for the first few days watching to see when it comes onto boost:lol:lol

it would be nice to start winding down but we have had a breakdown on the overhead crane at work which is awaiting a part coming in from france,so we are nearly a week behind on orders.
the manager asked if we could work 12 hours sat and sun to try and catch up with the back log.
so much for my weekend.it will be nice in the pay packet next week but I would like a bit of time to relax.
on a brighter note the mrs ordered my crimbo pressie yesterday:thumb2

I am going to repair my front wing at the same time as I fit this.

It's what you use on white faced, or wood veneered chipboard, to glue on the edging strip.

A pig of a job to get the glue off the iron after... ( should use brown paper between, really...:doh).
Well so the wife keeps telling me... again and again....:lol:lol

To be fair, I now use an old steam iron, that I took the broken wet bits out of, so it just gets hot now...:augie

Very true rustic, because there is no throttle plate to obstruct the air intake as per a petrol vehicle (though some diesels do have them). That's why a vacuum pump is required to work the brake servo.
Quite fancy a boost gauge since the 3L is said to be prone to over-boosting if the EGR is blocked off (I intend doing this whan I get the time).
Has anyone fitted a gauge to the 3L, & if so have you any tips regarding source of gauge & fitting.

 

[Barrbeast]

I would check out the patrol4x4 forum bud, the Y61 section on the ZD30 DTI should have all that info. There is a specific section on the ZD30 DTI or just do a search for "boost gauge fitting 3.0" or similar.

I remember when I replaced the one in the Maverick, the previous owner was adament to leave the Sony Xplod one in there for me which was a little concerning as it was an expensive headunit, low and behold it didn't work right and when I came to remove it for a Pioneer one I managed to pick up brand new from Halfords for £39 on a till error (should have been £90), the wiring was atrocious!!!! Gnawed wires and twisted insulation tape extravaganza

I ripped it all out and made my own DIY loom and now it's beautiful

Cheers mate the Parrot hands free is going to be handy so is the bluetooth, USB & SD card so won't have to carry tones of CD's now:thumb2 the sound settings are something else tho like the 13 channel Eq, sound stage,time alignment, octave slope adjustments & you can adjust the frequency the front/rear speakers get plus the sub:thumbs My old Sony Xplod will prob get fitted into the caravan once we get one along with a set of JBL 6x9" speakers:lol:lol:lol
