--- Quote from: "V8_redline7500" ---stop messing about with the sedimentor as it will start to cause you more problems than you will cure if you disturb the pipes,if its doin over 1 bar or 14.7 psi its boosting slightly higher than spec
--- End quote ---
Just because it's boosting to 1bar doesn't mean it's getting enough fuel through the system - does it?! Removing and cleaning the sedimenter is part of the 12,000 mile service. I am having touble getting the drain plug out at the moment though :roll:

Gords... methodical, logical, test and eliminate...
If everything proves OK.. then you have achieved something in that exercise alone ;-)

Yes, Tim, I agree ... the only problem is I'm not sure that I know everything to be checked. Hence my stream of questions on here :wink:
Is there anything else you (or anyone) would suggest I check/clean/adjust before concluding that all is actually OK?

Gords:i wish to take back the manner in which the above statement was written & re phrase it in a more suitable manner,
The sedimentor is a known problem area on the discos & when they have been disturbed by the removing of the bung they normally cause all sorts of starting & fuel starvation problems due to the ingress of air in the system,
at the mo im bypassing 3 a month due to the above problems,
ImHO i rekon your problem to be a choked intercooler or something along those lines,if not a choked fuel filter,
the spec acording to auto data for the boost is .7 bar for the discos & just under that for the defenders,
