G'day all,
I've recently purchased a thai built '12 d40 and have been wandering through these forums reading all about it. The missus, dog and I are about to move from Adelaide to north QLD in a couple months for work and I'm wanting to do everything I can to prepare the d40 for the 3day trip in likely +40 degree heat. With all the information ive found on these forums i have this list and was wondering if anyone had any further input or anything else to add.
- source a steel bullbar incase of roos
- considering EGR delete from yd25.com (get lots of black smoke at times and several people are seeing increase to power and fuel economy with this mod)
- service and radiator pressure check
- get timing chain checked and possibly injectors cleaned if black smoke doesnt clear from a) egr delete and b) injector cleaner additive.
- possibly look at replacing heater and oil cooler lines with the kit from yd25.com if needed.
Any advice would be appreciated, last thing I want is a breakdown in 40 degree heat with my 12 year old rottweiler in the car.
Cheers in advance
