Could any of these faults be caused by a tuning box? Should I remove it and read the faults again

[hoofing it]

does your rev counter work if it does ignore code 31
92 ignore if you dont have cruise control
96 best to blank off egr you might find its already blanked off.
64 try putting forte diesel treatment direct into a new fuel filter (pour the whole bottle into filter) start the engine and hold the revs around 1800 rpm for a couple of mins. You might need to repeat this a couple of times (you only need to empty out the diesel out of the filter by this stage then repeat the process).But bottom line to get rid of 64 if this fails its a new injector pump ive been there done that.
When it starts stalling then at junctions/traffic lights I personaly would drive it to the nearest breakers a new pump costs £1400+vat I managed to get a re-con for £860

It does seem like its trying to stall when I change gear. Got a flat spot then picks up again. I will see if I can source a second hand pump from somewhere if the diesel treatment doesnt work. The guy I bought it off was running it on used cooking oil so thats probably whats done it. Never mind. I will drive it til it dies if I cant get another pump.

No not yet. I plan to do it saturday provided that all my filters turn up. If they dont then I will go to motor factors andbuy a fuel filter and try giving the fuel system a clean first. Diesel magic has been ordered aswell. Will get some forte diesel treatment aswell to put directly into filter as suggested by hoofing it.

You only need either one of these.

Ok cheers. I have the diesel magic now. Should I just fill the fuel filter straight up with it or put it in the tank when I fit a new fuel filter?

Theres the answer to your problem (cooking oil) these engines hate it. the fuel pump will be knackered because diesel lubricates the guts of the pump where as cooking oil doesn't.
It's the same as running the engine with no oil.
Theres no point wasting money on diesel magic it won't work

I believe ive still got the diesel pump that TB gave me ages ago sitting in my garage somewhere, If you need it then let me know ASAP & i'll search it out,  I'm going down to Brize Norton in a couple of days if you could meet me somewhere near there & pick it up. , i was given it for gratis so my price is the same!!.

Sorry, Ive just remembered that when it was given to me by TB there was mention of a donation to the club coffers to whoever found a use for it so that'll have to be negotiated with TB himself, flaming beers gave me a memory lapse last night & forgot that bit of info.

64 - empty the fuel filter, fill it with diesel magic, refit and start it (it will run like a bag of spanners for a minute of so.

64 and 96 are common codes if not running quite right - so I'd give it a proper service.


Cruise - add the (TD specific) stalk, and it will work.

I half filled a new filter with it and half diesel. Didnt make much difference still have eml flashing when I take my foot off accelerator pedal. Not doing as much but still doing it. Will buy another bottle and try the whole lot in the fuel filter this weekend and see what happens. I did go to the breakers at the weekend to see if I could get hold of a new injector pump, but they only had a 51 plate petrol think it was a 2.2. But on the plus side a did manage to get 2 complete front doors with wing mirrors no rust on them anywhere also found a cargo net in the boot still in the original bag from the factory unopened and a good set of floor mats got the lot for £63 so not a total waste of time. The doors are gonna be sprayed and put on my mv6. Need to get the rear arches cut out and replaced aswell. Just need to get a drivers rear door now.  Couldnt get the pins out of that one. Might go back this weekendand get the 2 front wings if they are in good nick.

Confirm that you have completed the rest of the service, air filter, oil & filter, AND checked the boost pipe from the inlet manifold to the boost sensor is clear and has no leaks?
