Evening all.
Just been on the road for 15 hours, should have only taken 9!
2 hours in, I started noticing the odd flat spot, then it got progressively and significantly worse. Terrible when going up the box or hill climbing.
Ok in top gear, very limited power in 2nd and 3rd.
When I got to my destination, it cut out and wouldn’t restart for 15 minutes, then was dog rough so left idling for 15 minutes then it got well enough to start the return leg.
Awful and almost undriveable. Following long hill climbs, I’d pull over as it was so rough with so little power, and when I pulled over the revs dropped off and it cut out. Wouldn’t restart for 10 minutes. This was the pattern for the next 8 hours.
I haven’t serviced the gearbox filter. Could the box be slipping, transmitting heat and somehow causing the rough running? Water temp didn’t move at all. The oil cooler wasn’t running excessively when I was pulled over.
Totally flummoxed.
I put a tank of expensive Shell unicorn diesel to discount bad fuel.
Please help!
