X3 deffno the belts :thumbright:
Pour some water on them at start-up and the 'clacking' will go for sure :wink:
BTW, also check your water level in the battery, sounds daft I know but mine does it when the level gets low. Top up with distilled water and job done.

I have every faith in the modified bearings, bolts and oil pickup Chris Vince has recomended :salute:
Long-term members will know mine failed at 32K rofiler: following a trip to Spain
I've covered 60K since and with another 5 trips to Southern Spain at speeds of 90-100 mph with high rpm :!: for long periods in temps of 40+ the oil pressure is still the same and engine is sweet :bounce:
In fact a couple of years ago we were late for the ferry and she had to sustain 4250 rpm for quite a while
Anyone else done Santander to Estepona, Costa Del Sol in 8 1/2 hours with stops :lol:

can somebody throw some links for the oil pressure pick up pipe mod in here for handiness sake. i need to re read it. as my oil pressure light is flickering when i start the engine for about 5 seconds, i think mines is drawing in air and the pipe gets bleeded empty when sitting over night.

All this information is in the D22 tech section as a sticky :study:
It's not unusual for the oil light to take a few seconds to extinguish, that's why Chris Vince and myself never use the glowplugs to start our engines. This extra cranking primes the oil pump to gain pressure before firing :thumbright:
I've found that if your engine is in good condition you should not need to 'glow it' regardless of the weather.

Nice one woz when the d22 is sorted ie shells bearings oil feed pickup pipe and bolts it's a very very good truck that's why I'm going to hang on to mine for a long time I've spent the money getting her right and she does me proud I have no worrys doing a 700 mile round trip to Cornwall at all sorts of speeds with no problems just regular services, that's why my truck is staying in the fish family for a long time

Yes Paul mines a 'keeper' to :thumbright:
In the time during ownership a Patrol and Pathfinder have come and gone but the D22 remains
This truck is so reliable, cheap to run and vesatile, I'd be mad to get rid of her :shock:
I'm out to run this 'ole girl into the ground and beyond :lol:
