Hey folks haven't posted in a while . . . I'm looking for a King Cab pick up truck in Portugal and have always liked the look of the old D21's with vented bonnet. What year and engine would you guys recommend? It seems that most (if not all) D21's in Portugal have the TD25 diesel engine...

Or can anyone recommend good aftermarket water pump brands . . .

Hey folks, Looking at a 91 Urvan with Z24 carb engine that needs a new water pump and been told Genuine Nissan is the way to go as the aftermarkets options are no good (noisy and poor thermoreg). Struggling to find a Nissan one in Australia at the moment though, any ideas? Ta, Rich

Found most of my answers here; 👍🏼 Hoist would be nice!

Is there anything else you need besides the oil buddy? I've got all the oil just need to get off my arse and do it . . . Read that it's best to remove the drain plug first and then the fill plug, are any of these hard to locate or pour the oil? ta, Rich

Bro I'm co Bro I'm confused how come you needed an extra bushing, I thought you got them all with the control arm kit . . .

Where did you source this cheaper replacement buddy? Ta, Rich

Hey buddy the video wasn't that helpful in the end . . . I only replaced the injector seals, to do the injectors you have to remove the rocker cover as well. I removed the bracket holding all the vacuum hoses on top of the engine (3x bolts), then the throttle body, EGR valve & pipes (leaving...

Also any tips on removing the seal without dropping/losing the spring…

I think my main question is do I have to remove the inlet manifold and/or rocker cover? Also thinking whether I replace the glow plug seals, rocker cover gasket and inlet manifold gasket at same time . . .

That's right buddy pretty happy with the new clutch no more shudder on pull away and gear changes feel much smoother. So I degreased the whole engine pretty much and washed it down with a high pressure hose several times and its blatantly coming from the injector seals / pooling up on top of the...

Hey folks traced an oil leak back to the injectors (oil pooling up on top of the inlet manifold) and pretty sure it's the injector seals. Watched a quick YouTube video looks pretty straight forward once all the hoses and electrics are out the way. Just pop out the old seals and replace and...

yeah there was no indent or anything on the tube itself and it wasn't big enough diameter to fit over so dropped it in the hole 🤷‍♂️
