Whats available as far as cruise control for the d22's. Hate going on a long drive without it. Which ones are decent and what should be avoided?

EGR valve was the problem plated it up and all good. Don't Know if i'm imagining it but it does feel a bit more responsive and less laggy??

Yeah old Tony my first thought was the turbo crapping out. I would have thought the turbo dying would blow white oil smoke not black fuel smoke. It does smell like its overfuelling when its loaded up.

Yeah no warning lights. An engine light came on ages ago and when checked out by my mechanic it was triggered by a egr fault code. Came and went but didn't effect how it drove at all . Might have finally packed it in properly!

So today went for a short drive and noticed the nav seemed a bit sluggy. Then much more noticably sluggy . To the point that going up a slight incline at 100 kph wouldn't happen any more. Heaps of black smoke and power just kept on dropping off to the point i thought i wouldn't make the short...

Yeah was thinking of possibly doing something like that. Because they are so open with the holes it does look a little unfinished.

Thanks mate!

Sorry haven't put pics up yet guys. I've managed to get a pic into the gallery of my rear bar fitted up tonight but don't know how to get it from there to here. I'm a bit computer illiterate.LOL. If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated.

Gun wash won't do that to cured paint. I'm going with bird shite.

Mines black over silver so to tie in with the lower half I went silver. Same with the bullbar. Only painted the outer faces and the bars that wrap around and under the quarter panels hence the reason for the 2 hours of masking up!

Even better if its ABS that stuff is the easiest stuff to plastic weld. Bonus cause working with fibreglass sucks big time. Soooooo itchy!

So I finally fit my rear bar today. It arrived 2 weeks ago but we been busy at work and me being me and not being able to leave well enough alone decided to paint it since I couldn't leave the bullbar alone either and painted that also back when I put that on.So it had to match. I've always...

Should be a simple fix for any capable panel beater. Without seeing said crack my fix would be vee'ing out the crack front side and back side keying up both surfaces and laying a few sheets of mat and resin on each side. Sand and smooth of with filler prime and paint job done.
