i checked the standard fault codes today, came up clean, will try the test run codes tomorrow and see if that brings up anything,

Anyone know where to find the diagnostics plug inside the cabin? Or can you do it from inside the engine bay as well?

Oh yeah, its an AE92 FXGT - small port redtop non TVIS

I went through 3.5 tanks of diesel on a return trip to Nelson in the weekend.

DAMN!
