Don't know what part of Warrnambool you are on but a quick run on Caramut rd or Hopkins rd and see if it goes ok Hopkins Rd has a good hill to test if it will go under load.

Sounds a bit like when a turbo hose delaminates internally in a D1. Not sure if D2’s are the same.

Oh dear, went for a test drive to exercise by the beach, its still a basket case. Seems to be getting worse if anything. Took 3 tries to start coming home, starts and dies. No lights on dash, no warnings, all looks normal. Might check the the hoses next as suggested. Thanks, Chris

check if you can hear any fuel pump noise with ignition on engine off.
Yes, my money is on the in tank fuel pump.
The injector pumps will pull up enough fuel to idle the engine and run under low load. One of my friends was able to travel slowly on a dirt road, as soon as he got on the bitumen the car lost power. Changed the in tank pump and problem was sorted.
It is a job that can be done at home.
Yes, sadly fuel pump was the answer, and indeed there was no fuel pump noise. Actually turned to a no-start and had to be towed. Of course I'm away from home with no manual or tools and busy with work.
Big thank you to AB Auto's in Warrnambool for correct diagnosis and repair, would definitely use them again if I'm down this way with a problem.
Might change the injector seals as a preventative measure when I get home.
The horrible rattly sound is gone now, and the engine is sooo much smoother under part and trailing throttle.
Thanks all forumists for your help and attention!
