I have owned (2) 3.0Ltr Jackaroos - 1998, 2000. Some owners may not be aware that the diesel has problems with the cylinder head cracking. The cracks appear between each glow plug hole, connecting them together. The other cracks radiate out from the glow plug holes and run to the centre of each inlet valve seat. Basic casting to replace is approx $2800.00 bare. BOTH MOTORS had similar cracks, the first motor @65,000Klm the second vehicle @ 125,000Klm

The other problem is the injectors are non servicable items through GMH. They are Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injectors and in Holdens eyes to be replaced with new units when required. Cost is Horrifying approx $2000.00 per injector plus $400/ $500 fitting and calibrating/ grouping. The injectors will set you back over $8000.00 to have replaced.
