Hello, thought I'd let folk now that $450 later, Navara is fixed - yay!! Turns out it was the plug n play idrive thingy that was in it when purchased. Must have gone wrong. I'd tried turning it off to no avail, but once fully removed car ran great! Found a really knowledgeable mechanic who put...

Thanks - I'll look into that too.

Right - we tried bypassing the fuel filter and problem remained. Must be something electronic that's not being recognised as an engine fault. Given up for now 😭

Ok, tried that - the revs did drop when I put it in gear - so I guess that's that one ruled out *sigh*. It's a dual battery system and we discovered one battery is dead (one on left looking from front), but hooking up a good battery made no difference. The batteries don't seem to be working in...

When you pump the plunger on the fuel pump should you get to a point where you can't press it any longer? With mine I can pump it and it gets difficult to press, then a few mins later, I can pump it fairly easily again.

Ok thanks. Could that happen so suddenly? Driving great day or two before. Between me agreeing to buy it and getting it, it had a service, something lifted to stop the big wheels rubbing on bodywork, EGR plates removed and the Tas roadworthy inspection. I did one 50km round trip, then a couple...

Didn't know I had a heat switch - ok thanks! I don't have high hopes because at present it's not only that it won't rev, but that there's a several seconds delay on the gas pedal. Put pedal to the floor and it's really slow to respond- takes 2 or 3 seconds to get past 1,000 revs ...

Ok, interesting - another thing to try, thank you 😊

Update: reset ecu, fitted EGR delete on MAF sensor, checked all connections, established that fuel filter wasn't changed at recent service, pumped primer on fuel filter and checked all hoses/ pipes for leaks. Still no change from limp mode. Video shows the issue. When I first try from cold, I...

Thank you Barney - yes the trip here and back to Launceston is an endurance test! OK, I've been looking for a bulb so I'll look for plungers/ levers/ hand pumps! The harness tip is a good one, will try that too. Cheers :)

Hi there Damian - no luck finding a primer bulb, despite locating fuel filter and fuel lines and feeling all around filter and along the fuel lines. Not sure where else to look.

Hi Barney - no luck I'm afraid! We're in the Huon Valley, near Huonville. Disconnecting the batteries overnight didn't help (long shot). Also, can't find the primer for the fuel lines. I've identified the fuel filter and fuel lines but there doesn't seem to be a primer bulb anywhere ... Do you...

Thanks Old Tony and Damian m, will go looking for fuel primer and any leaks/ trapped air. Have also disconnected batteries overnight to see if it's just an ECU hiccup. Have ordered EGR delete plug-in in case it's the EGR sensor. At least I've got things to try now so feeling far more heartened -...

Hi Old Tony (on a side note I can't work out how to change my name here to something a little more anonymous 😀), I've already seen you are the fount of all knowledge 😊. It only stalls if I don't carefully feather the clutch because the power and revs are so low and take so long to increase when...

:( Hi there - in the last 2 days I've read heaps on this forum (thanks so much for the info). I've just bought a 2014 Navara ST-R (converted to a flat-tray), that's done 85K kms. It came down from QLD to Tassie with the seller so had to have a roadworthy after I agreed purchase. To pass the...
