Well done Dan, if it is anything like my experience the effect will be 4L/100k less fuel use, 50Hp more and 300nm of torque extra and hardly any EGT. Same colour tooooooo!

haha there's not too much glare from the sun which is what I was worried about, not a super gloss finish. About the only flashing I'll be seeing lol!Nice Dan..De-Dorked and squeeky clean..Now sit back and enjoy all tha xtra hp and the flashing from young girls (.)(.)
Spark plugs?Does anyone know for the CRD if disconnecting the spark plugs will cause a code error?
Be aware EGT can be to cold and effect efficiency of fuel usage, mine used to sit at around 210c at 100k, took quite a bit of playing to get it closer to 300c.Well its time to fit a brake controller to the patrol, she's going to be a tow vehicle again. Glad I've got the FMIC to deal with the extra weight behind. Driving home last night in 14deg outside temp, EGT's sat under 200 most of the way home and didn't get over 300 (hills included). Water temps nice and stable at 79 deg which is where it always seems to sit these days.
Found the slightest of coolant leaks at the thermostat housing, nothings loose so looks like I'll have to skin some more knuckles and fix the gasket there...
In other news, didn't lock my modified auto hubs before removing for the last service, misaligned one which broke it. interestingly was able to repair the parts but def going to replace it when I can get another set of auto hubs. Bought some manual hubs but turns out they're off a MQ and are 31 spline not 33!!! So need to get around to selling them now.

Same goes for coolant temp. 79C is low IMO. It's a well known fact that most engine wear occurs during warm-up. Permanently running an engine with a low coolant temp causes excessive engine wear.Be aware EGT can be to cold and effect efficiency of fuel usage, mine used to sit at around 210c at 100k, took quite a bit of playing to get it closer to 300c.
