haha Cheers, already come across plenty of seized bolts and a little bit of rust. My welder is going to get a serious workout on this car.

Rusty

Great work!

Got myself a series 2 SWB that needs the same attention. Difficult to get the body off the chassis?

Rusty

Neat TIG welds there fella!

might say higher up but have you tried emptying the tank and flushing out and refilling?

Not yet, but it's certainly the next step. I'm starting to think that if it was the injector pump it just wouldn't run at all, or it'd be consistently running poorly.

fh2014 wrote:Yea mate I think you may have a bunch of water in the tank?

I think you may be right. I drained the fuel filter yesterday and there were small, but noticeable water droplets in it. I think it's time to drain the tank, flush it out and start again.

Any specific chemicals you can use to flush it?

Rusty

Update. Changed the fuel filter and it ran beautifully again for a couple of hours, the most power it's ever had! Then it happened again, noticeable power loss. However this time I got it home before it reached a terminal point like last time (miss firing and so little power it would barely move) Su...

Rusty

That'll certainly turn the wick up a little!

this guy seemed good to deal with, helpful, good advice.

Cheers dude, much appreciated.

Rusty

D21 injector pumps are not electronic, so you can get exhange ones for around 600-700 bucks mate. Even if do have to pay labour to pull it and install the new one, someone is trying to rip you off with that quote. IMHO Oh no doubt in my mind that's a "we don't want your business, go away"...

interesting indeed. It'd sound delightful while it was doing it too.

Rusty

I don't think a water sensitive dissi is localised to just Landies. But electric ignition would be a good upgrade.

How do you find the v8 muddy? Plenty of torque?

Rusty

I've heard the same about the axles and diffs, however I'm usually pretty mechanically sympathetic and I'm not really going to be doing super bonkers stuff so that's not a huge concern.

The V8's seem nice and simple. Any huge issues with the 3.9? Lucas electrics?

Rusty

Hey guys, since the demise of my Terrano (fuel pump possibly) the the cost vs benefit of throwing more money at it no longer makes sense. Cue thought process of jumping ships to the dark side :twisted: Always loved the V8 Discos, and with S1 models being ludicrously cheap these days it's hard not to...

Rusty

That's sensational. Top effort

Rusty

I'll have to have a decent dig. It's just been sitting on my front lawn doing nothing since it died on me.

Barely ran long enough for me to get it on the lawn before it died. Got quoted an injector pump rebuild for 3k.... I just don't have that sort of cash so I'm thinking about scrapping the car.

Rusty

Very nice!

Rusty

Well it did it again, this time worse and 280km from home. Wouldn't rev, was running on three. Drained fuel filter and no traces of water or debris. ill replace he fuel filter today and see if that's the culprit, otherwise I suspect the fuel pump has finally given up the ghost

Rusty

My switch has been playing up recently and has been automatically putting itself into power mode at random intervals.

Can I just disconnect the wires from that side of the switch so it doesn't have the ability to do that any more?

Rusty

Touché. I'll grab a new one and bang it in. Can't hurt

Rusty

checked the air filter, air intake. Both all clear. Injector pump was leaking, but I added some 'additive' and it's stopped leaking since :D It was a very hot day, the air intake getting too hot is a distinct possibility. But I'll certainly look at the fuel filter as it was the next on my list. Alth...

255k on the tranny. I serviced it maybe 5k ago when I put the cooler on. I've got a trans filter there to put in, just need a hoist and some time.

It now drives fine? Maybe it had a bit of gunk go through the fuel system and it's cleared itself out now.

Rusty

G'day fellas, Driving home yesterday in the heat (38 degrees!) I noticed a gradual power loss accompanied by the transmission being unwilling to shift out of first. I had to limp it home, full throttle, at about 30km/h with the engine misfiring and transmission refusing to shift. All vital signs wer...

Rusty

Looking forward to seeing this done

looks great!

Rusty

Very nice!

Quick question about the turbo, did it bolt up to the stock TD27t manifold? Or did you lift the entire assembly off the R50?

Rusty

Paj's are such good value for money.

Subscribed to see what you do to it

Rusty

Interesting!

So I charged the battery and pulled fuses out one by one. No joy. Decided I'd change the alternator. With the alternator out, voltage dropped to zero!

Changed it out and bam. Good to go.

Rusty

Nah mate, no recent additions to the electrics.

Excellent plan. The battery is freshly charged so I'll give it a red hot crack today

Rusty

Something in my Terrano is draining the battery overnight.

Any ideas on the matter? I'm hopeless with electrical stuff!

It's a new battery (3 months old), alternator, whilst it isn't the strongest charger, still provides charge.

Cheers

Rusty

I have exactly the same issues with mine mate and my injector pump is leaking. So maybe have a poke around there.

Rusty

It's been a bit quiet in the project thread page recently, so I'll give you something to look at. Firstly happy new year from across the ditch! Got some 31" muddies for the Terrano, found some 2" lift king springs at the wreckers, installed them and got back the inch of height I'd lost fro...
