    No torque and high fuel consumption

    Im not making the assumption that the cam belt will fix it. i just mean i dont trust myself to work on the timing and i have a comeback if the engine goes bang as a result of incorrect timing. I dont literally shout at garages. And i live near Fortrose.

    No torque and high fuel consumption

    Nah, i'll let a garage do it (not the same one that fitted the engine) if i get a garage to do it then i have someone to shout at when it goes pete tong :) Yeh someone mentioned at work earlier that the timing may be out enough to allow the car to run but could explain the lack of torque...

    Sorry i have no history on the engine. and my dad sourced the engine and supplied it to the garage. Oh well, looks like i'll need to put it into a diesel tuning centre and see what happens

    P38 snags

    i gave it into a specialist 4x4 garage in inverness and he's quite switched on with his vehicles and he jus started testing things. It was either going to be the injector, the tank lift pump or the fuel pump. I'm glad it was the cheaper option as the pump costs the best part of a grand

    Just an update. the car is now fixed. The gearbox fault was a red herring. The fault was the no4 injector and since its replacement the fault has gone. Nothing appeared on the diagnostics however. chris

    P38 snags

    Car doesnt lock into third. It runs fine when cold and then at some random time when car has heated up it gives the fault message and then shuts down the engine.
