Tweake and Dattorob speak the truth (y)

That cranking sounds a bit slow to me. I recall when I replaced my starter motor I was surprised at how quickly it turned over to what I had grown used to How old are the battery and starter motor? If you can crank for 30 seconds straight it is probably not the battery though

Man, that's cheaper than my unit. But get one when you can! They can be hard to find

Hope you can get a few runs in now, the weather is great at the moment. I am doing a trip to Kalgoorlie and Esperance soon, before it starts raining

I had a similar issue some time ago. It turned out to be my trailer plug. This is pretty easy to check, as you can unplug it from the harness under the back of the tray and reconnect the harness without it. If this stops the issue, you can get a new trailer plug and wire it in.

I did, and as I recall it was the pressure plate diaphragm spring. This was around 10 years ago and I didn't fix it myself so my recollection my be fuzzy

When it's cold, perhaps try scrunching some newspaper in pushing it into a few spots you suspect it could be coming from. Soggy paper should help to home in on the source then hopefully. Just remember to pull it all out again 😄

Have you any faults or codes? Will it start better if you pump the primer before cranking?

I ought to check mine out too. Lucky you got away with no damage

It's been a few years since an entry went in here, and it's time I updated my kms. I just hit 400,000. With a new injector pump installed around 20,000 ago, I am hoping to get quite a few more on the clock. Still in great nick inside, but the paint is well faded and clear coat peeling now. I...

I grew up in Esperance. I still pop down from time to time to visit my dad. Great place to own a 4x4😁 Did the unit you bought come with a fan as well? They have 2 options on their website. Not sure if the fan is a slimmer one to help move the intercooler back. The pics on that one show a winch...

Do you have a winch? The Forefront intercooler for a D22 with a winch is a little small for my liking. I will have a look at this HPD unit myself

Have you any codes?

I can't remember. I was blowing fuses for my dash if I recall and after some research on this forum of unlimited knowledge "Thanks team😉" I looked at the plugs on my gearbox and found the 4x4 wires shorting. I unplugged and insulated them and haven't looked to get a replacement switch. I will...

Have you tried a 4x4 wrecker? I don't know if the same tail light fits the longer tubs of the YD25 model, but D22s have been made for years so there should be no shortage
