Grant1970 · 20-04-2014, 11:14

Hello all.. this happened to me last week and again just now, the car seems to slow like a foot is on the brake only briefly and the engine light comes on and goes out again..any ideas..thanks

R1cho · 20-04-2014, 11:31

is the truck under load when it happens? if so i'd start by changing the fuel filter

Grant1970 · 20-04-2014, 11:56

Thanks for the reply, i just changed the fuel filter 15 miles ago, i am running 20 ltrs wvo to 14 ltrs diesel.. maybe more diesel??

Get your tenner paid and check out the downloads section. There's a quick easy way of reading your fault codes with nothing more than a paper clip. Also there are instructions regarding the mini filter and banjo bolt.

By chance someone has just fixed a similar issue to yours and fixed it today, sorry to bang on about it but the thread is in the members area tho.
