Dash mat,
Canvas seat covers{clean in t/box} Drivers side base has a couple of wear holes.

New brake master Cylinder and Tie rod ends in the tool box, ready for fitting.
THIS IS A REAL 4WD, BUILT FOR THE BUSH!!!
Had tie rod end fitted and wheel alignment done recently.
Ready for the rough stuff, I'll tell you any faults when you drop over.
now i took the ute for a test drive today. the ute went really really well didnt make any funny noises or didnt blow any kinda blue smoke on take or whilst under boost. handled well so on and so fourth.
now to my question
1. the car did take awhile to kick over even when warm. could it be glow plugs are shagged, lift pump on its way out or something different???
2. there was a little bit of oil on the pipe from inlet manifold that crosses over the motor.maybe bit of blow by. the oil pressure gauge that was aftermarketly installed read all good.also the car never blew any smoke bar on cold start up,but only the usual amount that ive seen on all the diesels ive owned???
3.what are the turbo tech setups like???
any help will be greatly appreciated
regards kane
