Have you checked the prices at the firm for these

they aren't badly priced for OEM

not sure if Filter Proz stocks belts

if you want non-OEm then there are many options available in the parts places all over the country

take the ones that you have now as a sample to be sure you get the correct size and shape

[gtr_fever]

I think thats the best option to go for OEM...the van was serviced fully by diamond motors up to when i bought it from the first owner last year so i think i should keep everything original if i can,,,thanks for the advice!!

Average cost of OEM Plugs for 07 Sportero 2.5 Di-D?

Think they're going through for sure, hard starting on mornings, but 'double heating' seems to help significantly.

[venum]

Dunno,

but they might be Denso, so if you want OEM without the OEM packaging, then see if u get Denso in a parts place

Filter Proz is where I would go for OEM in the OEM packaging

[VexXx Dogg]

Any Denso partnums?

Liqui Moly 5W40. Anyone ever used it in their van??

they're very pricey from the firm, but then again you probably expected that. I think it's around $1500 per plug at DM.
What's you're mileage, and also, when was the last time you checked your battery?

Liqui Moly 5W40. Anyone ever used it in their van??

funny you should mention this, I just checked out a place selling these and was wondering how well it runs. We've been using 15W40 for the longest time now and have not had any issues with it, so I'll stick with that. Shame the LiquiMoly doesn't come in that grade though, would be nice to compare.

Hey guys. Who is the best sportero mechanic you can advise? Coming off warranty soon so I'm looking for a good mechanic because I have had terrible experiences at Diamond Motors and I don't trust them.

[gtr_fever]

^^ i guess it depends on where in trinidad you are but my choice with great experience so far is barry mckenzie's place in frederick settlement (where mosport is)

[voiceofatrini]

Thanks. Do you have a number for him? Any other mechanics?

[venum]

call Dr.B of Dr.BB Tuning

305-9900

ask for Dr.B and tell him Shawn sent you

the only guy that touches my Sportero engine

South

[voiceofatrini]

Thanks. It seems like all the good sportero mechanics are on the south side.

Turns out the surging issue was the suction control valve. Probably due to junk in the diesel clogging it up.

[VexXx Dogg]

Contacted Simpson motors and got a quote for a mitsu substitute cz251. 350bds for the set.

Considering it

Now to see if we can score em directly from NGK. If that fails, well Simpson motors for it.

Hi fellas! Im very thankful for all the info you shared on this forum. All my vehicles i have own were always mitsubishi and just last year i upgraded from my ck2 to a sportero. I wanted my sportero to be different so i made a few changes to it. Wanted the sporty and rugged look.

[tourniquet]

good stuff swervy
a general question for the rest of you guys, have any of you installed an oil catch can? I know a bunch of us have already blanked off our EGR valve, but I don't think I've seen anyone on here mention installing a can.

[voiceofatrini]

Looking good dey swervy...

[Val]

The oil catch can port size we need is hard to come by.

[tourniquet]

yeah, I'm beginning to think I may have to find someone to make one for me. I've checked online, and I've seen people making temporary ones out of anything from PVC to a coke bottle and using a pot scrub as the filter lol.

that is the second part to my EGR blanking, as Val said, the size is a bit hard to find . . . Amazon for it

way to represent, not just the l200, but the lancers too
I've been doing some searching for this catch can. Thus far, I think I'll end up with the Mann & Hummel Provent 200. The only thing is, it's pretty forking expensive for a catch can
Maybe if we all do a group buy, we can get a better deal from one of the suppliers

[kkallicharan]

Im willing to do that grp buy

[VexXx Dogg]

ugh, battery took a crap today - but I saw it coming a while ago.

Getting an XS Power D4800 to keep the juice pumping.

[VexXx Dogg]

Big up to Teamlo2flo (Fawwaz) for taking the time out of his Carnival Tuesday to sell me a battery.

the D4800 is slightly smaller in size than the battery that I got with the truck (Mac), but has decent specs.

Even threw in a heat shield batt kit for small price.

Hooked that baby up in about 30 mins (cleaned batt tray, cut shield to fit etc) and cranking like a yayan. Solved my coldstart issues too, so I'll keep an eye out to see if I really need those glowplugs or if this was my fix.

hey guys, so i swapped out the stock air filter on my n/a 4d56 in my k34 to a k&n double cone filter... It gave a noticeable increase in power and sounds much heavier ... however, i have been getting mixed views about this mod... ne1 will to share some valuable insight?

[venum]

k&N gives more performance bcase the filtration is less than the stock

so expect more particulate matter in your engine, esp as it is dry season now

i used to run the K&N in my 4D56T during rainy season only

other than that, not much so enjoy

Hi guys,

Friend of mines has a 07 Sportero 4x4 double cab. He is looking for the door lock cable driver side. Diamond Motors don't have any. Any place you guys can recommend to get one?
