Still under Warranty, so they're problem now, sadly I've had to admit defeat for now.[/quote]
It's not defeat - you would have sussed it eventually, it would have just taken a while............let's see how long it takes the techs with all their computer diags - and please, let us know what the problem was !

It is to me, I hate taking it to the dealer, mainly due to past experience with one of the other local stealers.
BTW they're computer diag, say no fault!!!
drum:
Well they rang me 5:55 to say all they can find is a blocked air-filter. I refrained from asking if that was the K&N that I cleaned not more than 2 weeks ago, and haven't off-roaded since. Wouldn't wait for me to collect it either :(
Surely a blocked Air Filter, would be loss of power generally, not retarding (like a rev-limiter) when hot??
Jimbo:
The only time I had a problem with a K&N was when I over-oiled it after cleaning it..........the truck smoked and ran like a b1tch for a while, but I didn't notice any loss of power.
Do you get the feeling that the stealers are weeing in the wind ?

Got it back today, perfomance seems better (with the same old filter in, cos they have been instructed not to change it), but the vacuum pump has mysturiously stopped working while in at the dealers.
That said I didn't really give it a good run, cos I didn't fancy bombing along at 70+ with series brakes.
So it's gone straight back.
