Hi all,
So in the last few weeks the troll has been out of sorts. Sluggish losing power going up hills, then it got really nard to start .Generally not being himself. So i took out the maf sensor cleaned it, first mistake i should of read about cleaning it. Boom car goes worse than ever. The cleaner i used killed the sensor. New maf and away it goes. Now on to the hard starting, change fuel filter still no good. So i replaced the bosch fuel pressure relief valve. Now it starts first crank no hesitating went for along drive a d going like a scalded cat.

Good to hear you have it sorted, I'd still look at fitting NADS to it if not already.
Always ask first if you're not to sure about anything , plenty here to pull up a
thread on the topic or just guide you through it. Now just drive it ZOOOoooooommmm

Hey mate, yeah should of asked. Thought had good advice but yeah turned out not so good. Ive got all the nads gear on the truck. It just started playing up right before we go out in to the scrub.

Go easy on the oil level they dont like being overfilled even if only a little bit.
But a decent catch can should sort it out, So you have a long light bar on the
roof where is the 22" number between the uprights or on top of the bull bar.
Thinking of doing similar

I read on here about the oil level. Which helped when i did the service. Yeah ive got the 22 on the roof rack and the 32 bull bar. I had it the other way round but the 32 was wssted on the roof. To much glare off the bonnet. I got stainless mounts from ebay to mount on the bar. Just got to make sure its behind the main bar.

You could mount the longer light bar under say a Rhino aero rack ,perfect fit.
I had mine like that untill I fitted a roof rack.
