Can anyone recommend a good diesel mechanic in Sydney

Thanks for all the replies, I've dropped it off to gemini dsl. I'll let you know how I go. I've spent a fortune on it recently at supposed 4x4 experts and it has not got any better, not just fuel issues but also suspension, wheels, tyres, winch, bullbar and so on. Every time I get it back I spend a couple of hours fixing up things thst have been left loose or are not fitted correctly.

Westend Diesel were the first I thought of having seen their ad's and reading an article on them in a 4x4 mag recently. Called them this morning and they said "the mechanic is on leave can you call back in the new year". I nearly fell off my high stool !! I had heard they were the best but thought the answer was pretty weak.

Strange, very strange, I know that they have more than 'one' mechanic. I beleive Leon (takes bookings etc) is on leave but that shouldnt stop them from taking work. I will phone Devesh in the morning and check it out both for your info and my peice of mind as I am hoping to get my Toyo 100 series serviced before Xmas :-)))))

Thanks KIwiAngler
Let me know how you go, I also thought it was a strange answer. I have heard they do good work. Gemini dont do much apart from the dsl work. I need someone reliable to do the odd bits and pieces on my 100 as well.

I have used them for all my servicing (TD 100 series) for more than a year and have nothing but good to say about them. Will update you tomorrow after speaking to Devesh...cyaL8ter

West End would be 10000% over The other one that threatened this Site with legal action.. someone mentioned them on south coast there.

Also the mechanic that did my injectors and pump down here in Melb gets work from that said place that is bodgey, like their patch on the 2.8's..

Rang Devesh today and he explained that whilst they do have a couple of mechanics on leave currently they still have 3 others there to do the work. They still have some hours left for new jobs but have had to turn down about 4 people who wanted turbos fitted before Xmas!!!.
One guy wanted a full workup done, dyno, turbo fitted, service etc etc he wanted to drop the vehicle off on Friday and pick it up on Monday. Now I dont know about you but I think that's a tall order for anyone at this time of year.
As I said earlier Devesh and the guys have looked after my Toyo for about 12 months now and have done an excellent job. They are Bosch agent in Aussie and have gear that no-one else in Aussie has for diesel maintenance.
My suggestion give Devesh a ring tell him you are off exploreoz forum site and see how you go

Hey truckster who did you go to to get your pump and injectors done in melbourne i need mine done but i dont know of anyone down here that does them i was going to have to drive up to west end or berima and thats a pain in the ass.

Clint at BJ Diesel in Dandenong.

or AG Diesel...

DONT go to Rankins ... Very costly, no better..

Hey guys, i used to work for devesh, i went past yesterday, and he told the boys to take a holiday while its a bit quiet, as they are far too busy during the year, and its the first theyve had all year!
They definitely know what there doing there!

I agree Mick, everyone deserves a holiday... Specially with the family at Xmas...

Now do I get a discount for agreeing ?? :)~!

Thanks for all the input guys, picked the cruiser up from Gemini yesterday and its like a different car, also paid a fair price. I'll try westend for thr other odds and ends that need doing.
