The fuel tank is new (long range) and was drained other day, plus was full of fuel. It has since restarted without pressing the cut off switch. The pump was new and an original part, I believe the injector pressures are as they should be. Apparently when it cuts out all power to the ecu (ems) is...

Hi ok I really need some help here mechanics out here aren't so hot.... So I have a 2004 d2 v8, its been in storage in Africa for a year, asked for it to be run regularly but assume it hasn't. Had to do few bits n bobs to get it good to go on our return journey to UK. Fuel pump, brakes...

Great thread, I have 2004 and its showing signs of rot at back end was hoping to treat it with dinitrol then it would last few extra years what do you think image - A photo shared by PhotoBox member Amy Hawkins - a public album shared on Photobox, the UK's leading digital photo service.

Yes it's the one time you can actually say ... See told you I needed a 4x4

Point taken, fuel here is 95ppl and drops to under 50ppl in one country, naturally I fill every crevice when we get it cheap like that

Well don't I feel smug! Tbh it dropped to single figures in the soft stuff and got 15 plenty if times too but I like to remember the figures around 20, makes me justify the v8 more!

Thanks bud, was 39 c here today in the shade, hear you got snow!?

I thought a good certified LPG fitting was ok... Trouble is fitting yet another tank. Got 125l main tank 80l water tank and 2 jerry cans, plus missus

Sat in cafe in middle of nowhere so can't download this but think I can picture a flat cap and whippet.... Alreet pal

I love the v8, running costs are a concern but carrying 3 tonnes we got 21mpg at times. (Downhill with wind behind us!) can't get LPG outside of civilisation though, apart from USA haha get it

Haha good one, we have stickers on the car that read sheffield-Sahara-Banjul you'd be amazed how many Yorkshire folk spot us in obscure places

I may have failed to mention for fear of ridicule I drove out here with the v8...

You see it's this can do attitude that made Me want some British input

I stand corrected, apparently you can put a Nissan v6 diesel in a d2, thought if I was to change chassis why not go the whole hog....??

Don't think it fits, looked it up earlier, in their wisdom lr changed most things with the d2 but kept it looking almost identical

Didn't really mean f em , they are welcome to their opinion and if I was to do it again I might not get v8 for expedition purposes ... Thanks for the welcome

Haha good one, well #### the auto sensor then, if its not another sensors on the truck that needs a haweye cancel I don't care

Yes I think ur right, I looked up the tuv test and its much tougher than mot , a different German dude didn't seem to agree with boss German , but only told us in private, this country is full of bs so never know who to believe. Compared chassis to much older Toyota, jeep, dodge, Mercedes and...

Err auto sensor.... Plenty doesn't work! What's the auto sensor??

Hi not new to Lrs but new on er, drove from sheffield to gambia across Sahara and about to drive back, just had to replace fuel pump, car is v heavy loaded with our stuff, long range tank, water tank roof tent etc etc, oh yeah it's also the v8 we have, everyone we tell tells us we are mental for...
