Big Landy Fan
I have a new fuel filter & the tank has enough diesel.
Although I've almost perfected the art of restarting stalled Landy via the lift-pump & opening up the nut on the DPS it's still starving when under load after going up hill.
My butt protruding from the bonnet is not to everyones taste first thing on a morning... especially when it's decided to stop across a busy junction.
Driving is risky as there's little correlation between accellerator & speed produced once the engine begins to die, vehicle darts about like some furtive wild animal.
Someone suggested it could be a vapour lock as opposed to air getting in the system. ie: fuel turning into gas before it reaches the engine along the feed pipes. Which would cause the same effect perhaps.
If it's fuel pipes that should be changed next which are the best to fit, copper or some kind of plastic?
