Does anyone know if there is a annual Overland/Expedition show/fair somewhere in Europe? Welcome! | Horizons Unlimited does host annual gatherings to share stories, experiences etc. .. but are there any general ones with primary focus on four-wheelers ? Best regards Lars

Go validate that all jubilee clips on the turbo hoses are tight. You may be suffering loss of turbo pressure via leaking hoses.. Lars

I'm in! it is a true beauty ... I only wish .. it was LHD (oh it is!!!) and available at my doorstep :D Lars

Thank you - appreciate your input!

:D .. I bet ..

I'm just curious. What are your experience with the 2012 2.2l version? Noise improvements, engine characteristics, impressions .. Etc .. And what are you comparing with? Thx! Lars

I agree on the Aschcrofts shipping charges. They are outrageous. I live in Denmark and once I've got a new diff shipped in at £90! And a locker at £70! As a comparison .. Paddock shipped four new tires/rims around £50or60 .. I will hesitate using Aschcroft again .. Lars

I believe that I'm the only original left ... The d90 looks like a circus these days ..

Lets see :)

Wait spending your money until you have been driving off-road for a while. The vehicle is more than capable as is. And if you don't find any mods to do .. Then probably something breaks and you need money for parts ;o)

Start to wd40 the belt. If the screaming stops .. It's the belt which is worn or stuffed with sand particles. Then wd40 the tensioner .. But it needs a lot and you need to massage it ;o) take of the belt of and push to the outer limits in both directions numerous times .. This has worked for...

Four glow plugs are not issue as long as they all work. If one is bad, starting gets significantly more difficult. Test them .. It's easy. 2000 F250 7.3 Powerstroke Glow Plug - YouTube This one is fine .. If no glow .. No show ;o)

My third bolt has not fitted for two years ... No problem at all. Just leave it with two bolts...

Is the rattle also present a few min after start up?... or only during the first minute or so? ... and is hard to start? I doubt a head gasket would cause a rattle. If the head gasket .. the white smoke is caused by coolant being pushed into the combustion area. Hereby the coolant evaporates...

I think we covered the black smoke part. I'm a bit more concerned about the white smoke. The white smoke could be related to rough starting issues e.g if the glow plugs are dead. The smoke could probably be white .. Is it hard to start? If so .. it could be your heater plugs which are dead...

If the intercooler hose collapses .. then you will also experience a lack of power. I believe the MAS flow sensor could be the problem. See if you can borrow on from a fellow and test it. It takes a minute to replace .. The white smoke .. That's a bit more tricky. White smoke should not be...

I did not start mine today. As long as its not started .. nothing breaks :o)

Thank you for sharing this project so far! It's been a great documentary :) I look forward to see how you seal the hatches .. Lars

If it is a broken stud, there is no way around but removing the manifold, replace the gasket and the broken stud..
