Smell of diesel

The presure regulator would be the best place to start. They are known to fail.
I thought mine had gone earlier in the year, but thankfully it turned out to be something less serious (was the front axle breather spurting out oil for some reason).
If it is that, make sure they order the right one for your vehicle. There are two variations.

I'm just putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 here.........I've got another problem whereby when I plant my right foot to the floor the auto box plays silly whatsits - it changes up a gear, and then back down, then up, then down........if I back off the loud pedal it changes up ok - I thought the 'box was on its last legs, but maybe its a fuel starvation problem, and maybe it's the pressure regulator.....????
One of the mags did a feature on changing the fuel pressure reg a few months back, IIRC it's a royal PITA to do - perhaps my tame mechanic fancies doing me yet another favour :roll:

I'm guessing that's an hour in an ideal world, with all the tools and a nice warm workshop.............perhaps I'll allow a little longer, and dodge the rain showers !!
Mikey - what do you reckon, could this be the cause of my misbehaving auto box ?
