Still got 5 months warranty but dealer scratching their heads trying to find fault, so i thought i would find it for them, then they can foot the bill...

whats the best way to check the fuel pressure? fit an inline guage of some description? I take it that LR testbook does not check fuel pressure? It has never kangarooed and can drive badly right from initial start up and so wouldn't really get a chance to overboost. Lack of fuel could leed to...
