DEAD!!!! Dum-Dums Ranger 2.5TD 4x4

[zx_volcane]

ahh what a shitter, always the way though - up up up and pop

break it for parts? got to be worth something, then weigh in the rest ...

[Eeyore]

haha! oh dear! D: Getting another one then?

[Dum-Dum]

I'd love another but they start at about £1500 and that's £1500 I don't have. Got a bloke gonna come this week and give me £250 for it which is twice what I'll get for scrap and will at least pay to tax the rallye and fill it with fuel.

Might get a 1.5d saxo or 106 to use as my daily.

[bashbarnard]

Wow that sucks dude. Get an ax derv be different. I had one to save money was epic.

[Piggy]

Dang dude. No awesome runaway video then?? Haha

[rocker8742]

That sucks man was looking forward to your plans

Xud11 swap?

[Dum-Dum]

Nope no runaway video but I'm glad I stood upwind as I engulfed a whole street (and it's wide enough to have grass verges either side) in thick white smoke.

I'm not doing an XUD11/Cummins swap as I don't have a crane, time or money. Also as awesomly practical as it is realistically I bought it to be an economical daily but it costs me more per mile than the rallye

Shit news mate

You getting another daily or is it back to the rallye

Getting another daily as soon as I can afford it. Rallye will be getting taxed very soon but sadly the rallye battery is in the ranger as I was on my way to halfords to get it replaced as it's f*cked. Gonna have to cycle to halfords with the battery to get a new one but that involves fixing my bike.

Love that but gonna be slightly over budget sadly.

£615 for that ax?! f*cking hell

Maybe I should sell my 205 diesel rather than break it

There is a 5dr diesel AX on ebay for nearly £2k!!!!


Your 205 diesel, spec/price?

[bashbarnard]

205 FTW! Then buy my 1.9 lump and fit it in. There is a 205 near me with no test on £250 derv one as well

[lolsteve]

Bad luck man

[procta]

can you not drop a second hand lump in it from a scrap one?

[Danny Wideboy]

Shitter dude. Very nearly happened to me with one of my pajeros. Luckily I caught mine and it was just a new turbo for me.
Something cool will pop up soon for you to abuse.

[THE_Liam]

XUD?

[Dum-Dum]

can you not drop a second hand lump in it from a scrap one?

Physically, yes, however.

I don't own a crane though

and the cheapest second hand lump on ebay is £700 (nearly what I paid for the truck)

and it needs a turbo

and I don't have a pick up truck to go and get the engine with.

[Paul_13]

I got a crane you can use

[ozonehostile]

Ffs Chris how long did that last?

I'm sure there's a meme in there somewhere along the lines of "just one more turn couldn't hurt "

[mr_fish]

I know it was a pump tune but still along the same lines.

[attachment=22540]


Sorry to hear about that chap. I do have a turbo here if the engine had survived.

[Matt-Rallye]

Jesus christ chris! was just starting to like this project!

Although if i were you i would laugh at his offer of £250. put it on ebay as spares or repairs and get £500 easily from one of the no hassle export buyers.

[Dum-Dum]

Someone else has offered me £350 and is on their way to get it and TBH I just CBA to deal with ebay fucktards


It wasn't entirely "just" a pump tune as I had gone for a little more boost but as you cant adjust the wastegate I'd clamped the wastegate feed pipe with some cable ties to restrict it.

I think the turbo was dying as it was screeching every time I stuck my foot down but I had just decided it was the alternator belt and thought nothing of it, this screech had got louder with tuning so was actually probably turbo noise.

It was EPIC fast* for half a mile




















*It felt bloody nippy but probably wasn't any quicker than a very lightly tuned DTurbo

[highwayman306]

Aww dude, that's effing gutting hope you get the most you can for it. Maybe go for an invincible next time? Good luck anyway matey

[Poodle]

And this is why we love you.
