Hi peeps, once more some questions as I'm quite unsure about many things on this van. 1. Under the car yesterday I noticed a relais ACX1940RB hanging loose under the driver's side. Cable coming from somewhere under the seat, hanging below the injector pump. Still connected, I guess, except for the ...

actually from a second look it does have that factory look to it It goes to one of the main harnesses so me thinks it could be standard in the Homies. But, at that's a long one, still no idea what could have triggered the "alarm" - some days after I parked it on even ground again, the problem ...

cheers mate but the warning lights are still working and i just changed the filter 300k ago.

Couldn't find anything obviously loose...vacuum pump should be somewhere around the alternator, right? Any further info on how to identify the mentioned hoses?

Nah, light goes out. Brake works alright...weird weird stuff. Could it indicate a mistake made while fitting pump/thermostat/radiator?

Hi guys, just the other day I noticed this novelty in my 1994 Nissan Homy, TD27 - when starting up the car, as soon as I turn the key into warming up position (all lights come on, glowplugs warming up) there's an abhorrent noise filling the cabin which took me some time to locate. I first thought it ...

I can see a stack of money burning...any cheap way to fix this?
Was thinking valve seals/rings, pump timing...

I'm in Christchurch. The shop that gave the quote was A1 Automotive Cooling in the city. Weird thing is that there are three types of radiators used in the E24s. Two of them have the tanks on the side and these are readily available pretty much everywhere. I on the other side was so lucky to have ...

Radiator shop just came back to me. Looks worse than I thought. The core is just solidified rust and rubbish. They'd need to make a new a new core and all...500 bucks later. So that might have actually been the problem...not the pump at all nor the thermostat.

Cheers mate, I'll get onto it then.

So I got the water pump, radiator and thermostat out yesterday night. The pump had a wee bit of play - got someone around who said it might be the bearings. So I went and got a quote today. Around 200 for a new GMB pump, radiator flush for 130-200, new thermostat 20, 50 for the coolant. Plus approx ...

My old D21 used to get well over half on the gauge when pointed up a long steep hill on a hot day and when the viscous hub locked up it nearly died, 2nd and 3rd where the norm for hill work. Sounds pretty much like what happened to me, Dan. What did you end up doing (other than not going up hills ...

Start with the basics. Check the flow of the water pump at idle and at 2800 rpm. Check flow through radiator a garden hose down its throat and the fins should be able to cope with the flow( so no squirting back at you. Too much fuel will create excessive combustion temps. Will do this today. when I ...

Hi there guys this is my first post after the introductory one and although I didn't want it to be a "Help me!" post it surely will be one. Bought this car a month ago kitted it out and wanted to take it on its first bigger spin up Arthur's Pass today. It has been working nicely with the temp gauge ...

Hi guys, my caps button will sometimes pass out so I might be writing in small caps - hope no grammar fetishists take offense. I bought a 1994 Nissan Homy GL 4WD with TD27 diesel engine last week. It hasn't exactly gotten much love by the previous owner(s) and has to creamed and cuddled a lot at the ...
