Still a problem unfortunately. Went to Mazda and they weren't helpful at all - want 3500 for a new ecu and are pushing me away from getting a second hand one. No one can tell me if a different part number ecu will work - I though maybe I could get away with changing the ecu, key and key barrel...

Yeah thats a good idea, I'll do that.

Cheers, yeah common isn't the right word. Yeah I have found a few, exactly the same ute but it's a different part number. I just don't know whether I need to get one that's exactly the same part number, or just out of a 3L 4x4 manual. My part number of my ecu is saying it's for 2.5L when I...

Been a while but I've nailed down the issue. Seems to be an ecu problem and is quite common in these vehicles. Going to be an expensive to replace or repair. Currently looking at buying a second hand one and either cloning or replacing with that. Don't know if that will work yet.

Cheers mate thanks for that info. That's interesting, I bought a second hand starter after I did my injectors to replace that next. I might just get it in to an auto elec to get them to diagnose it. Edit: that probably doesn't really explain the issue with being able to scan and not scan using...

Hi all, Hoping someone might be able shed some light, or even just a push in the right direction would be helpful at this stage. Got a 2010 3L Bt50 and I have had issues with it starting for a while now, it usually wouldn't start when hot (only happens randomly). Took it to a mechanic and got...

It's definitely worth a try, I'll let you know how I go

Thanks mate, I had thought of something similar by just getting a low profile C section folder up, reason for that is I don't think I'd be able to bolt through the flat bar - not enough height to get a nut underneath, potentially just use some thicker steel and just tap it - bolts would need to...

Hey fellas, I have recently acquired a 60L Engel and a fridge slide from supacentre. Has anyone installed one directly into a ute tub? I had a crack today but I had a few issues - My ute tub has ridges so trying to fix the slide was difficult as the holes didn't line up with the high or low...

Honestly mate that has crossed my mind

No difference in performance really, occasionally idles slightly rough on startup. Replaced drain hose on the turbo, it was kinked and so far not much smoke, I'll give it a run from cold tomorrow and update.

Cheers mate, I'll give it an oil change, I'm thinking turbo might be the issue too. Might take it out tomorrow and have a look.

Hey guys, Recently my Bt-50 has started blowing a lot of white/grey smoke, it was generally just at startup but now it is during general driving. If I accelerate and up the revs it is noticeable when driving. Secondly, I had changed the oil around 3000kms ago and checked oil the other day and...

Yeah mate, all sorted. Was 5/16 as I suspected, plenty of hose that size at autobahn for a reasonable price.

Hey guys, Going to be installing and plumbing up a pre fuel filter (fuel Manager 100 series) to my 2010 bt50. Only issue I can see is that I have been supplied with a different size hose. I got the kit from Repco, but on western filters website it reckons the hose supplied is 10mm with 3/8...

Thanks mate, I think I'll either just leave fogs out or just buy cheap ones.

Hi all, Recently bought a second hand ARB deluxe bar without fog lights in the bar. Just curious whether anyone has put in aftermarket fog lights in their bar such as stedi etc. Is it worth paying more money for stedi or should I just go to ARB and buy some replacement fog lights?

Bit late but I eventually got round to sorting the issue out. Didn't need to cut anything off the inner guard. Simply lifted the torsions 10-15mm (front end was sagging a bit) and no scrubbing/very minor scrubbing at full lock if flexing or on uneven ground.

Thanks @Swaggie - I think you are right. As you can see in the attached images, it seems to be only minor (scrubbing is occurring where you can see blue paint/bare metal). I think cutting away a small section + silicon might be the solution.

Hi all, I have recently put some 265/70r16's on my relatively stock bt50. Original tyres were 245/70r16 so not a huge step up. At full lock with the 265's the front tyres will scrub slightly on the inside guard. The rims are 0 offset and I'm curious whether anyone else has had this problem? If...
