Well I thought it was a one off, stalling, then cranking over but won't start, turn key off for 30 sec then a few cranks and it starts??

The unfortunate bit is it's happening under extreme off-road climbing events.
Replaced fuel filter at the rear near tank, new high pressure sensor, new VCV, new injectors, new air filter and still stalls?

Once it got a bit hairy as even reverse start failed as it would not start!

Am I missing something here?:confused:

Due to the angle is there fuel starvation or an oil level sensor in oil sump, stopping -restart attempts?

Thanks

Cheers,

Leon

Fill the tank full with a jerry and see if it does it,if it does fit a second breather. Pat

Hi,
Have had similar on Puma to 130 cab chassis. Very scary as we were miles from anywhere.

Turn off, lock, open and restart seemed to fix it.

It seemed to happen if I stalled by using a gear too high for the conditions, usually at very low speed like 3 point turns etc.
Cheers
