New 2007 Defender pics from MT.Gambier show.

Hehehe!

What's a real Defender without a layer of fine red dust inside? :D

Actually, I'm not really all that keen on dust.... :whistling:

I snuck a quick look through the technical workshop manual and the exploded diagram of the Ford Transit Diesel (PUMA).

It shows that there is a single oil squirter under each of the four pistons, presumably to help keep the pistons cool. That's reassuring to know that the motor is quite likely to be a long lasting motor with oil squirters keeping the pistons cooled.
:twobeers:

Isn't the 3L Patrol engine the same...........

The transfer ratios are now the same as the discoveries if I am not mistaken.

The Td5 has those. Five of them though. :cool:

In fact it's so low, when in Lo-1st, the engine idle speed is raised to approx 1200 rpm. This is done to help stop the car sliding down slippery slopes (too much engine braking) rather than driving down!

How's the postioning of the Coolant Expansion bottle, stuff reaching over there with a 5 litre bottle of coolant!

I don't believe that the Nissan ZD30 has oil squirters under the pistons....

I tried googling for this last year and couldn't find any reference to oil squirters for the Nissan pistons.
