720C measured before the turbo is fine, 720 measured after the turbo is rebuild time.

Yep. Happened to my 4D56T Mitsu twice:eek: in 40000 kms. Now dont run it over 650 after turbo:) Less fuel = less power:( Still had no effect on coolant temp. Now has phyro fitted:)

Hey Matt, what is the verdict on the zuzu now it's not on tow duty?:)

Slow..........but I think eveything is slow:D

Wuite driveable but and not watching the fuel gauge move is nice too:eek:

6,oookm now, still going strong, towed the rangie back from Sydney, the jag back from phillip island and a few other things around, so probably 2,ooo of that towing, damn heavy stuff, 2 tanks with no trailer, 12.6l/100 and 13.8l/100, so not bad, considering 35's and all the wieght

It lurves towing heavy stuff:D
