Gents, thanks for all your help so far.
Still have the running issue, no codes stored, but i suspect that could be wrong. Still suspect the ckp
I have pulled the truck out for a few days now, not been used since saturday.
I have a whole fresh batch of problems, now started to overheat, but then out of nowhere the temp will plummet to normal again, so i guess i have a sticking 'stat.
I also have a power issue, previously i had crap running with a stall thrown in, but now i have no power, struggles to drive up the track here which is a pretty gentle incline, the diesel level was left low, so i'm figuring either the diesel bas gone off or there has been a collection of condensation.
Always been a crap starter and charger too. I think the battery cables are shagged so they need replacing.
Also i have spoke to a few people that have them do other odd runnings and i'm being told that i should check out my ignition switch, now it is incredibly worn, as is the key, but works 100%, although in the last 2 days when i key off and leave the keys in the ignition i get a beep. Never had that before, if i remove the keys from the switch it goes away.
I only bought the truck to hav something to run around the farm with when i was home to spare the alfa 159 from a chassis bashin. Problem is its not reliable and i'm concerned its gonna cost a a ball of money to fix, perhaps i should cash in my losses and trade it for a swb comercial landcruiser/shogun
Any thoughts people? Struggle on or move on?
