things to check after rollover

[touge_ae101]

so one of our staff did us the liberty of rolling a 4wd 5 times down a hill. roof is pretty caved in but guna see if it will still run and chop the roof off. (doesn't go anywhere near road)

its a old nissan terano with the 2.7L turbo deisel powerhouse. just wondering what kind of things to check mechanically before firing it up?? landed right way up so not like oil has settled in the head or anything.

on diesels i usually pull the injectors out and crank it over a few times to be sure,
other that that just the fluid levels

You should sell us the drivers door handle and if its manual, a manual conversion kit

cheers guys. will see if i get some time to get it moving today

boosed_162 - we have a spare navara down at the workshop i could get a door handle off for you if you want? does it matter if its all chromey? its manual too but think we are keeping it for spares as we have a few of these things to run round the farm. way cheaper/more versatile than motorbikes! engine still goes too these things never die.

Ill let you know if they cant find one elsewhere, unfortunately the other ones are black and it would look odd

Make sure all the brake fluid hasn't all tipped out of the master cylinder

Seen that one after a roll over on a retard day out at Manfeild.

and when you do it, stand back. the mega high compression of a diesel makes for a pretty powerful oil squirter.
