Might be the fuel filter, my mate in his patrol had a tiny pinhole in his fuel filter, car would start ok in morning but then run sh*t and conk out. Then it did not want to start but eventually did and heaps of white smoke would come out from exhaust but then it would just reprat the process.

Maybe not the problem, but a cheap part to replace.

Petrol or diesel? Petrol motors will do that with injectors that have varnish on them. As the engine heats up, the injectors start to stick. Had it happen on my Jaguar, had to have all the injectors sonically cleaned twice to fix it. With 12 injectors, it wasn't a cheap fix.

The patrol is a 2.8 diesel.

RD28's do it when the injection pump needs a rebuild.

Sounds like the pump. Checked for fault codes yet ?

You referring to me dave?

Dave · Jan 21, 2010

Kinda, just saying RD28 injection pumps wear out and a simple fix is adjusting plates to fix the timing on the pump.

but is says he has a ZD30, which is the 3.0L TD motor, correct?

SOLID D22 · Jan 24, 2010

Yes he is correct, i was just reffering to a prob my mate had in his patrol 6cyl diesel. It was the fuel filter, it had a pinhole in it, dont ask me what the prob was, it was something along the lines of pressure loss or air mixed in, i wasnt there at the mechanics to find out.
