looks electrical to me?poss wrong signals coming from throttle sender?
or signal in pot in pump is erratic? have you tried diesel magic in the fuel filter yet?

Yes, tho the first batch of is just hit the system.

Any easy way to check that electric issue? These issues can get overwhelming fast, I know.

*snip* - you have to keep with the real frequent changes for a while yet.

Agree - If she'll co-operate with me to first week of January and if the engine isn't a total write-off, I have a major taredown overhaul planned. Turbo/IC needs come out, all the block gaskets, ditto for all cam side gaskets. But thats the future.

The drama continues... err update:

Done what I said I was gona do. Oil flush kicked out a sewer. Was bad! Much cleaner now. Same for the radiotor flush.  


Found a fresh symptom. Well, it's been lurking behind something else:

Operating clutch/gearselector slide we get a clear metal-on-metal grind squeal. Moving or not, sound is there.  And it affects the idel run clearly as well. At times just break operation is nuff to make the engine lurch. No sound then tho.

So strongly suspecting clutch/tranny now.

Been hidding behind squeeling brakes - or so I though untill today. Yeah, been rolling a good while with that  

Having limited experience with automats, abit unsure as to how check these possible issues. Is the clutch an integral part of the AR35?

If the entire box has to switched, am I looking at a complete engine pullout to make this happen?



Your invaluable insight is welcome

If its an auto, it will be an AR25, not AR35  

No clutch, but a 'torque convertor'.  I wouldn't like to say if thats related to your problem  :-/

**** ISSUE FIXED ****

The root cause was faulty return feed hosing. 15min switch and presto!
