Jackaroo mechanic Gold Coast

[queenslandchris]

Hi, someone once mentioned a great Jackaroo mechanic on the Gold Coast who was a wiz on the 3.0 turbo diesel engine. Does anyone remember his name please.
Main problem is trying to change the oil pressure sender unit on the engine, cant get anything in the space to remove it.
And there is an oil and also a water leak coming from the top left at the front of the engine, apparently there are two seals (1 water and 1 oil) that are known to leak.
Any suggestions please.

The best thing you could do is fit a 4jj1 in its place . rodeo , Colorado or dmax are your donor or the simplest drop in a 4JG2 . The engine you have will only bleed you dry

Thanks Muc the Truck. Yeah am looking for a 4JB1 turbo at the moment but the engine in my jack has only done 40,000k's after a rebuild. The 'farmer' who owned it tried making his own bio diesel and blew the motor up. Had a $7k rebuild including $2.5k for brand new injectors. The problem is the mechanic who put it back together and installed it was a stoner...a lot of things not correctly installed.
