Thanks for replys

I thought the truck had sorted itself out but has started going into safe mode alot about 4 times in the last 20 miles.

I have had a look for anything obvious like bad connections on electrics did not find anything,

Cant see any breather from the fuel tank would it be in the cap?

A friend plugged in a diagonstic and he seems to think the reading on the fuel injectors was wrong they were reading 1 and 2% on tick over he seemed to think they should be on 0 or minus when the truck is ticking over.

He managed to switch of the amber light but I think it will come back on next time the truck goes into safe mode.

I think the truck will have to go to the diesel mechanic for a through check.

I got a price from Mitsubshi for injectors £313 + vat each so am hoping its something else.

Is it likely a decent diesel mechanic would be able to find the problem or is there alot of change this pay the bill and go back a week later with the same problem only to change another expensive part.

 

The fuel gauge is reading a bit less then half a tank, its only gone into safe mode on half a tank or less is this just coincidence ?

Is it likely that injectors would need replacing on a truck thats only done 33000 miles (they are mainly intown miles alot of stop start)

Thanks

if you could go without the truck for a few days get the injectors re furbished with new parts then they will be as good as new prob for less than new

or just get a set from here

I have watched this thread with interest as I know two people who have had similar problems with their canters.

Both ended up costing over well £1000 to sort out.

All the things mentioned in this thread were checked or changed and also something else that not been mentioned is a fuel delivery chip in the ecu that needed updating.

Just something else to consider. hope you get it sorted.

problems like this can be a nightmare to sort out.
