Discovered the lower (exhaust end) gasket is leaking on the old girl, attempted today to remove the pipe and check / install new gaskets. For the love or money I could not get suitable access to the lower bolt exhaust end. I tried open ender, ratchet spanner, normal and flexible socket all to...

Had a wheel alignment done on my 2002 old girl the other day, and the mechanic had a hard time getting it sorted due to a sloppy front end. He said all the bushes up front were knackered and need replacement, I have noticed the front getting sloppy in the steering, possibly the bushes have...

Cheers for that, ordered one from Ebay.

Have found a helpful video on Youtube, but have a query regarding tightening the hub using the "special tool". Does anyone have any tips to do this without the tool, or give me an idea where I can get something that will do the job and not cost a bomb. Any other tips and tricks performing the...

Interesting comparison to us also, had a D21 Petrol which was disappointing engine wise, then a D21 TD27 which we kept for 11 years (great old girl that was, took it around oz, and it lived up in the North of W.A.), now the D22 which we have had for 12 years, know we should replace but with...

The wheel bearings are probably the best place to start, easiest to test, and in the worst case can rule out. Been having trouble just getting the time to jack her up and start checking, she may be an old girl, but lost when its off the road. cheer and beers :cheers!:

Job done, The advise how to get to it was invaluable. Spent $80 on the part, and another $200 on sockets, extensions, flexible joints etc. and the job done. Probably cheaper to get the local mechanic to do the job, but I have the satisfaction of doing the job + some new tools which is always a...

The old girl (160k) has just started to make a slight whine when coasting. Happens in any gear and does not happen when under power. You can repeat the noise any time by coasting, and at the same time you can feel increase vibration through the gear stick. Difficult to isolate where the noise...

Cheers for the info VicZD30, thanks for the info, will get the socket once I have the new sender to match up to. Cheers and beers

Appreciate any tips and tricks to help me replace the Oil Pressure Sensor switch on the ZD30. It is a basket to get to, and at this point of time don't know what tool (socket?) to use to remove and replace. What type of thread seal should I use when I get that far. Hoping this is the source...

Cheers mate, Sorry for the late reply, flat out at work in the big smoke. Ended up ordering the Lugs from Roadrunner, they mount off the chassis, not sure whether yours would have fitted the bull bar on my truck. Thanks for your help. Cheers and beers

Sounds good mate I get to Perth during the week, where abouts are you. Do you have the bolts etc. as well. If you can track them down and settle on a price, I can bring the truck up and check them out. Cheers and beers

Plan to fit recovery lugs to the front of my 2003 D22 and want to make sure what I get bolts straight on without mods. I live in the bush so difficult to get to a store, and if so unlikely they would have something in stock at the time. Interested in feedback regarding a specific product that...

Will give it a crack tomorrow Thanks for the advice. Cheers and beers

Middle setting sounds good Cheers for that, Will check what they are set to, and change to setting 1 if on anything else. P.S. How do you get the dust covers out of the way so you can see the setting, don't want to be ham fisted and bust the cover. Cheers and beers

Are ready to fit new Koni front shocks to the D22 tomorrow, and would like to know what setting people have used in the past. Koni indicate that out of the box the shocks are set to the softest setting, has anyone got feedback on what they have used, and what they reckon is best. Cheers and...

I am about researched out, and are going with the Bilsteins all round + stone guards for the rear. Have sent an email to Eshocks to get an idea on freight, can you remember how much it was to get them here. Cheers and beers :cheers!:

Need to replace the front shocks after failure of existing (West Coast suspensions heavy duty) 1st @ 12 months, now again at 24 months, they are rubbish. We have a 2002 ZD30 with heavy duty torsion bars, and sits about 25mm higher than standard. The car does the lot, bitumen, corrugations...

Hayfabs work looks great, unfortunately on holidays for a long break. Have ordered Bolsys, $75 freight to Perth and easy to deal with. Ordered original mirror from Nizzbits not much more than second hand. Cheers and beers.

Are after some assistance to buy a replacment left wing mirror for a 2002 DX. Lots of listings for D22 97 to 01, but nothing after that. They look the same (sail fitting), and are nothing flash, black with no electrics. Appreciate a link to a correct listing. Are also having a dog of a time...
