give up with the bag of **** now,just use and abuse it til it goes no more,if the fault does not show up,points to mechanical? can't be arsed with it now,cost £2000 so far that is it for now,could of bought a toyota surf,saving pennies now for a different 4x4.
if the guys with the equipment cannot find it what chance have i got,i take it the diesels run like like a bag of **** on the overrun.

No mine is as smooth as silk in both directions. Don't matter how good the diagnostics are, they won't tell you about a cylinder being down because of a duff valve. Or two cylinders playing with each other cause the gasket between them's blowing. Thought of a compression test yet?

Of course there is always the off chance it may not be the problem. But the tech sheet is the only thing i can find that mentions the problem. If it runs a starts normally hot and cold then i would not think it is the FIP. So it's worth a try.

Odds on it will be a worn track on the fuel quantity servo potentiometer. Or the return spring has gone weak or failed.
