Thanks - I'll try the fluctuation. Voltage on battery at idle is 12.3 so the alternator has also left the chat, i found out today!

Finally got a multimeter and measured 17.5mV across fuse F10 - this is below the 23mV quoted as healthy but not 10mV, this cause for concern?

My shaky knowledge of fuel/air mix says too little fuel too much air = high EGT but I'm not sure. Have just realised that throughout this ordeal there hasn't been a single light on the dash also! Multimeter should arrive today so should be able to confirm fuel pump draw once it does.

I sincerely hope not! Any way to tell?

Hey folks, quick update: I'm afraid I've still not sourced a multimeter, however I have this evening installed a replacement injector loom and associated gasket. The truck started and drove nicely, then round the corner we started losing power again. Drove about a mile, mostly gently and it...

It transpires that my multimeter no longer...meters. shows 00 regardless of what leads I use on a reliable 12v source. I recall it being difficult on the last job I used it for at work. Will pop to halfrauds for one ASAP!

Missed that - literally just ordered the JGS kit whilst waiting for the flatbed! Next time. Been told a lot of folks change the harness with each service, so may add that to the list of jobs. Will update once it is fitted and the ECU drained! Cheers guys.

I'll give that a go - a new harness is being ordered today!

Update guys, currently roadside on a bypass with a rather unhappy TD5, not revving much past 1500, spluttering and chucking out smoke. Got AA on call but a kindly fellow enthusiast/mechanic stopped. He immediately pulled the injector harness off the head and it was absolutely slick both ends...

Cheers Griff. No cruise at present. I've actually got a clutch sensor on the shelf in the shed but when we had the gearbox off to do clutch/flywheel a couple of years back bleeding the thing was such a b**tard I'm reticent to disturb the natural order of things to get it in! Now that Sierra has...

Morning all, Pulled the F2 this morning and took it out. Same symptoms I'm afraid. Other things it does that may be related - at full chat pulling around 3.5-4k it surges very noticably. It also has a habit of overrevving when changing gear occasionally, despite taking my foot off the...

EGR has been blanked off, though that was done by me so can't comment on whether it was done correctly. A sh*part kit with a plenum adaptor and a plate for the other side. I'm afraid I don't have a nanocom nor chums with one. I assume the Snap-On veritus type scanners won't see what I need...

I'll do a wire count on the airbox on my return. Just checked a vague photo from a while back and it looks like MAF has 2 going to it, will confirm. Am I right in thinking that F2 is fuel system related?

Hi Sierra, thanks for the input. I'll pull the F2 fuse once I'm back at Base (out with the boss currently). How does one tell whether the engine is EU2 or EU3? When mapped the ECU did not need to be removed, it was flashed there and then if that helps. Truck is an 02 plate. Cheers,

Morning all! My beloved money pit has now decided that if you hoof it in 5th around 60 it runs out of power and becomes a lemon for 15 seconds or so. This also occurs when I downshift from 4th to 3rd for example to engine brake - it suddenly has no go. For context: turbo has little play and...
