    Did another test today.

    Removed the fuel pump relay and turned motor over via starter.

    NO NOISE!

    So, I'm now thinking its definitely fuel related.

    When running you can hear the noise at the fuel rail and at the fuel pressure sensor.

    Does anyone know if you can get this sensor without buying a complete HPFP?

    There are some who will always look for the worst scenario but in my experience it is best to eliminate the easiest and simplest first - you are back to your original thoughts - I would fix or eliminate that first as you now seem to want to do.

    I have never used Cooma Diesel Service in Fyshwick - I do not know what they are like but I understand they do know their diesels both old and new. They are the owners of Waterwatch in Aust.

    Good luck with it.

    Sounds encouraging... Normally I'm the first to suggest that it might be anything other than a dead engine too, but as mentioned on the UK forum, most of the dead engines appear to have happened for this reason (oil filter not installed correctly).


    A good mate of mine had his Patrol 4.2 petrol die from oil starvation (no oil at all, forgot to check it) and it developed a rod knock while we were driving it. We stopped the engine and got another mate to pick us up. Returned, filled the engine with oil and drove the car home. The car would run fine and probably would've gone a lot longer, but it had a very audible rattle at around 2000-3000rpm. We weren't game to take it higher than that!! Worth noting that it was completely quiet when turning on and idling, just when it reached 2K it became noisy.


    Hopefully this isn't your situation... fingers crossed.
