    These motors do have issues with the EGR valve gumming up, removal is easy, and would eliminate it if it doesn't fix it
    You could also check the MAF and all hoses for damage
    As there are no codes, it is a bit difficult to diagnose and it would be a process of elimination, if you can do a few simple things it may reduce your mechanics bill

    It could be a number of things, but lack of smoke and easy starting would have me heading away from injectors
    There is also a filter on the PCV which can get blocked

    PCB replaced my Master Cylinder and gave the D2 a brake bleed. The ABS Modulator wasn't functioning as cleanly it should and they put in a lot of effort working through the issues with it, spending a couple of hours more than usual for a bleed plus a few road tests and held back on charging me the hours they really put in.

    Brakes work great.

    I'd trust them again.

    I use Paul Stevens in Gawler. Runs a Rangie himself, and very knowlegable. Always had good service from him.

    +1 for British 4x4.

    the Previous owner of my TD5 had it serviced from there, so when I took ownership of the vehicle I have continued to have it serviced there.

    Have found Brenton to be really good.
