I was driving along the Pacific Motorway today when my 2010 2.5L D40 Navara suddenly lost power. Initially I couldn't work out what was going on as there was no noise but the engine was still running but wouldn't do much over 2000rpm, and if or when it did, I could see plenty of black smoke in the rear vision mirror.
I tried to get home but only managed to do about 20klm before it finally gave up the ghost and stopped. During my effort to get home I could sit on about 60kph with little problem and no black smoke, but once I tried to increase speed the engine ran and sounded terrible and more black smoke appeared . I changed the fuel filter but that made no difference as I still cant start it. So I had it towed home.
In the next day or so I'll organise someone to have a look at it, but before then, does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? The vehicle has done 225,000klm and still has the original injectors - just thought that could be the problem.
