i havent worked on the injectors since i bought it 12 months back. but looking at the fuel filters and the crap which was inside it i reckon nothing has been worked on for sometime..

Update So i decided to change the fuel filters on it over the weekend at a local service depot..all was fine until i cranked up the engine and gave it some gas...the engine kept stalling and blowing white smoke from the pipes..it has a very slight rough idle but apart from that engine runs...

nah the filters were replaced a good 9 months back..i did do some work on the fuel gauge where the motor shop took off my tank to replace the floater unit...but i had run 2 full tanks after the replacement before this started happening... managed to speak to my dad about it he reckons its...

outside temp is about 29C. but the engine hasnt been cranked in about 8 hours and the temp gauge reading is on the far end of cold side

nah im use to running diesel before this...i crank it up after the glow light switches off...generally its roughly about 4-5 seconds after switching on ignition...maybe timing of the plugs are off???

thanks dave ill check on that again i got it checked by the guy who works on my truck...

Gd Day guys..got a cranking issue on my TD27 D21...it use to fire up pretty decently with no lag..last week it started to lag and sometimes i only manage to crank it up on the 2nd attempt...once it starts up its splurts and misses and starts running perfectly normal... The glow plugs are...

thanks kivi i been waiting for a long time for this to pop up. you rock

wouldnt it be cheaper to visit the wreckers...mine keeps jumping to neutral from 1st and 3rd when i rev bit hard or when climbing up a hill not all the time but it does that

Current one clocks in at 316,000 i been using it for less than a year. My previous SD25 had clocked 532,000 when i sold it after using it for 6 and 1/2 years never gave any trouble at all

I run a TD27 non turbo with 31X10.50X15, get bit over 6KM for a litre

Thanks guys looking forward to being part of the forum
