A cousin of
mine has a current shape Jackeroo turbo diesel which at the moment can take up to 10 minutes to start.
A local mechanic has suggested that the "shaft is carboned up" ?? (I'm guessing they mean the camshaft ?? As this mechanic is not a 4wd or jackeroo specialist my cousin was thinking of taking it to a holden dealer but the mechanic said the repair may cost more than $1000.
I was going to suggest to maybe try CEM products to de-carbonise the engine. Has anybody tried it for this application with any success ??
Next, can anybody recommend a jackeroo specialist in the east or northern suburbs of
Melbourne to take it to for an examination.
Thanks in Advance

Oil viscosity 5w-30 required
Glow plugs - three out of four of
mine were blown get them from www.glowplugs.com.au and save an absolute bundle. They have a tendancy to get stuck so if one gets stuck don't keep going and break it like I did just leave it in. The engines will start easy enough on three. Recommend a little antisieze when putting the new ones back in.
If it has had a recent fuel filter change then there could be a small air leak otherwise the primer valves are known to occaisionally go and allow fuel to travel back when not running.
Injector O rings
check radiator coolant for diesel smell or sump level for any increase in level. If diesel found to be getting into sump then don't run engine as if enough diesel gets into the sump the motor will run on and blow up. A phrase for this on these motors was "chocolate motor syndrome"
Another
test for these failing is to put some clear hose in the diesel return line at the back of the head and look for bubbles in the return stream of diesel.
There was a recall in the Uk for a problem with the oil induction pipe in the sump.
This cracks or come loose allowing air into the hydraulic injector oil supply. This causes a hard start and rough running condition, another fault my Jack suffered.
Oil pressure sensor for the hydraulic injectors and a number of other sensors can also create havoc such as the flywheel for manuals and the engine crank sensor these are a less common problem
best of luck
