Check the in-line hand primer pump, the internal diaphragm collapses for a past time and causes fuel starvation. Bypass its and see if it cures it.

Cool cheers for the advice all

Hmmm, might take one for a test run

DOH sorry my bad I should of worded it better. I meant I'm tired of the vcu style of 4wd.

I have a gaylander 2.0 l series. Its nice, goes like a rocket, good in the summer. But I'm tired of the constant 4wd, and I'm getting more serious about greenlaneing etc. problem is, it's my 35 mile daily and at the mo I get average 35-38 mpg. Iv always liked disco's and fancy a tidy 300tdi...

It's ok mines a diesel, wouldn't do much, I think il just dye the cap with a black stain or somthing.

Oooooh, that could be an idea then, I have a spare almost complete T series in the garage, might look for a blown freelander in the spring and give that a go for a laugh.

Any input would be good guys, especially if you have tried any of the above etc. :)

DOH! Cheers singvogel
