    However after just one great into into advanced 4WD at Lithgo (SISODRV302A with John Cantrell) I have had the following probs:
    * Fuel filter light came on
    * Started overheating
    * Started stalling (when overheating)
    * Mechanic changed fuel filters and cleaned all heads (expensive)

    But all probs persist. I have changed mechanic. It's booked in tomorrow

    Yesterday the fuel pump stopped working

    So i thought i need to skill up on repairs for two reasons (keep my mechanic honest, running repairs on the road). So Here i am trying to download the service manual. They sell it on ebay for $20

    2.8L. I wish I had opted for the larger engine tho. It struggles with the larger wheels

    2.8's can be ok but they do have some issues and a few things wich should be checked before a big trip.
    Heres a few things that will help the rd28 survive egr block off contact the ferret on here have the injectors done a provent catch can a genuine thermostat and clutch fan hub water pump.
    Loctite the balancer bolt.
    Have the cooling system thoroughly tested at natrad or similar.
