I am just glad it's fixed and I can remain a owner and member of the club

Well it certainly appears to be, very surprised that a fuel filter you go so quickly, anyway I will know for next time. I was a bit concerned i would not make 150k with it but now looks like I will, only another 2.5k to go.

Well managed to get the fuel filter changed and it runs just as it did before all this started. And now I have a spare maf.

It's not the original filter, i changed it about 18 months ago and did smear my ring with oil but the thing just won't shift now

Mine is a 3.0 so does not have a mini filter. I tried to change the fuel filter earlier tonight but I think it must be welded on, i could not budge it even with a extension bar on the strap wrench

Is that something the garage will be able to identify fairly easily ? And fix fairly cheaply? Or am I asking how long is a piece of string ?

Well after some issues with the postal service i finally got the replacement maf today, fitted it and went for a drive and the problem is no better, so looks like it's going to have to be a visit to the local garage to see what the issue is.

Well just ordered a new maf from the guys Alex suggested, hope that sorts the problem out, will keep you informed. Thanks for the help guys, well worth the annual membership fee

Just did the electrical check and got a reading of 1.5 volts with the engine running

Well went dot a drive this evening still the same problem, unplugged the maf and it made on real difference, plugged it back in and then struggled to get home, it's really bad now, No power at all. Does that mean it's the maf ?

Ok sounds like I need to check the maf, will try to do that tomorrow.

The smoke is grey colour and running it on normal diesel.

So how do I check the maf ? Surely if I just unplug it and drive around it will make no difference ?

The engine idles fine and will also rev when not in gear it's only when you are driving that it happens.

I hope this is not the end of my terrano but I am fearing the worst. For the past 2 weeks the engine has lacked power in 3rd gear and has been a but stuttery. decided to change the air and fuel filter to see if that had any affect, well it has not and now the problem has got worse. 2nd gear...

I will check the bulbs first but imagine it would be strange for them both to go, I have a tow bar fitted so hope I dont have to start pulling all the loom apart. Think I might find out how to use my multimeter this weekend.

after being flashed and shouted at by lots of other motorsists I found out my rear lights have stopped working. Checked the fuse this morning and its fine, will have to take the lights off over the weekend and have a more detailed investigation, will be back if I have any issues to gain some...

We are off to do some walking in Scotland this weekend and the first night will be spent in the back of the LWB, going to take out the back row of seats, fold up the next row and put in an airbed, we are onyl short people so hopfully it wont be too cramped.

I took mine off last weekend, had previously tried to use metal filler to hold the aluminum steps to the steel brackets which lasted until i went off road. Anyway they are tucked neatly behind the shed now, cant belive how much quieter the truck is now without all the rattling.

Living in Peterborough I have the luxury of being on the boarder between Cambridgshire and Lincolnshire. There are some great lanes in Cambridgeshire but wanted to know if anyone knows of any good lanes in South Lincs which I could enjoy for a day out in the next few weeks.
