Running issue

Another thread called ' stuck ' was my first at trying to work this out and since then i've ' worked ' on a few ideas thrown my way to pick up the issue.

Today though, i noticed something which co incides with the problem but i can't figure out how it could be related.

The problem is lack of revs, lumpy idling and no power at the top end and no high revs at all ( it is almost like it's limited in someway ). The usual fuel and air fault findings have been done, i found a minute fuel leak on the main pipe from the filter to IP and have fixed it for now ( new pipe coming in the post ).

However whenever the problem arises ( there is no set time, i could be driving around town or on a dual carriage way, it happens when it wants to ) i get a loss of oil pressure and an increase in water temperature.


The above just seems weird to me. I've got plenty to go on ( turbo to manifold needs addressing, minute gap near a sheared bolt ) and lift pump to replace, but it's the above dial read outs which confuse me more. It may be a coincidence, but then again someone may have had a similar problem and solved it.

p.s. This thread was typed on my netbook whilst sat on the loo....ain't technology great

Another thing to add, when the problem happens, if i pull over and turn the engine off for 4-5 minutes, it clears itself, usually not returning for the remainder of the journey.

I've used the Landy every day for the past week, long, short journeys and it's as random as my comment on the end of my post above.

What enjun ??

Fuel system ? **** in tank that blocks fuel pick up, when you stop it drops off until it's sucked up again ! diesel filter ? lift pump?

Turbo intercooler hoses delaminateing ? does she smoke when she loses power?
