Nah doesn't seem to be starting too badly but I'll be keeping an eye on that would be great if it was as simple as that haha.

Ah they seemed to be pretty busy but your are most likely right. A bearing could be on its way out and still running alright just noisier etc but as you said once they go they stay gone.

I took it in because I was continually getting an 0707 injector pump timing fault code. When driving usually above 100 on a long drive (1hour +) turbo would seem to drop or go into lag mode. Engine light would come on and turbo would intermittently drop in and out whilst driving. Happened to me...

Cheers mate I had done some looking but hadn't seen the new one.

That's exactly what I was thinking. To say it's the balance shaft bearing you would think they would really need to actually look at the bearing thus having to dismantle the components. And as others have mentioned it's low kilometres and would be a very premature failure. I've taken it away...

Jus got a quote from mechanic, can't find a motor with lower ks then the one I have and he said that exactly the same thing could happen down the track to the 2nd hand motor. He has quoted me 11000 for a full rebuild. I don't know if this is good or not but I think it's around the average? I...

What sort of metal would I be looking for if it is the balance shaft bearings? I guess any metal content isn't great but there would be some due to wear and tear.

Hopefully that's fixed it mate. Mine is an injector pump but apparently also my balance shaft bearings are looking like they are rooted too so I'm probably up for a replacement engine haha.

Cheers mate a pretty good read, seems it has happened to a few people. Are the zd30 in the patrols and navar as the same? I know the turbo is variable in the patrol and I read somewhere its a different computer? Need to work out if it's a good,idea to rebuild or replace donk (waiting on a price...

Haha I didn't know they had a zd30 they are a mingin car though lol.

Well all he said on the phone was it was making a terrible noise and they believe it's the balance shaft bearings, they have had it in for a week or so looking at this pump issue.

Yeah I thought that would be the case. Just over 100000 so not many. I'm beginning to think the owner before me abused her a bit these things are hard to diagnose too before buying.

Had my 05 zd30 in for a potential injector pump replacement, being the lucky guy that I am I just got a call from the mechanic saying that they are fairly sure that the balance shaft bearings are on their way out. He said I really have two options either a replacement donk (or a rebuild which I...

Yeah always lube o-rings on everything, will also get some clear fuel lines when I get back to the city.

Have same code (0707) coming up on my 05 zd30, car is hard to start first time then she drives fine and then starts first go for the rest of the day, but sometimes Nav goes into limp mode loses power. Happens infrequently, changed fuel filter around 700 kilometres ago when problem first occurred...

Yeah I thought that might be the case managed to scramble up some 1.6mm plate, will block either end tomorrow hopefully. I am hoping 1.6mm plate won't warp to much under the heat but we shall soon find out.

If I blank off either end she should be good to go?

Hey guys sorry to bump an old post like this one. Got an 05 d22 zd30 and Have had exactly the same issue just this morning working out on a farm. Never seems to happen near to bloody home. I have a few questions: - As you guys stated is just as simple as removing the broken pipe and blocking...

Yeah im in newy and keen to do a bit of a meet up if work and other commitments allow, my nav is stock as too

Cheers mate, too easy.
