hi
I have spent quite a while trawling through posts in the search, but cannot find what I am after.
basically a 300tdi discovery that will only rev to about 2.5k rpm. going flat out it sounds like its struggling and shuddering a bit and the engine note it wavering, if that makes sense.
Is this a fuel issue, i.e porous sedimentor, knackered lift pump, or simply dirty fuel? it has a good quarter tank of derv in and has never been run on owt but expensive dinosaur juice its entire life. or could it be something more sinister perhaps like the turbos fecked? (in which case, how do I check/test the turbo?)
Occasionally when idling in neutral it develops an awful clanking rattle somewhere underneath the enjun which may or may not be related; I will check it out in the daylight tomorrow.
thanks muchly
