Same person who designed the intercooler mounting on a D2 that requires you to take the front of the car apart!

Yesterday did the dirtiest job of all,yes even worse than CVs.That is cleaning out the TD5 inlet manifold prior to fitting the EGR bypass.....black and oily as!
With the manifold removed, other jobs became obvious...engine mount,couple of hoses looking tired....may as well fit new FPR[Murphy's Law]Put anti seize on the starter motor nuts as a precaution,whilst I can get to them easily.Oh hell,change all the rad hoses and both engine mounts....should there not be some O rings for the FPR...I have the gasket.Ffff!

There must be a lot of TD5's getting about with the EGR clogged up completely.
.

drove back from tamworth (where i spotted several yards full of landies) to port macquarie

Removed EGR valve on L322, disconnected battery for 16 hours to reset everything, reconnected battery and it drives like a dream. Jim

The original tray was rotten, so the deck is being replaced with new grey ironbark. So far, we have only removed the rotten timber. New timber should be going on in a couple of weeks.

Looks like your Mags could do with a pollish, dont forget the leather seats before it cracks

Gave it a quick wash to get most of the mud/dust off.
