    Does he stick his head next to another animal to follow them? Bring a friend of his for the trek in.

    Part time farmers bank holiday here. Only in now after finishing the jobs cos I spent all day putting down about 500 whitethorn plants for glas. I think I may have that bank holiday pint now as I am back to the day job tomorrow and had too much to do today to be acting the young lad last night.

    I thought it sounded small but there's 3 staff usually. I know there's a big range but what problems are you using antibiotics to treat for?

    Meningitis is the big one at the moment. A lot is treated using in feed medication. Most is vaccination.

    If it's square, roughly 70 yards each side. So 280 yards approx 250 metres.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    4046 m2 in acre
    square = 63.6 x63.6 m so length = 254m

    Have a 1998 2.8 pajero for the fields. Wont rev any more than 2000 revs and dies, have changed fuel filters , clean supply of diesel no air leaks , any ideas?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,292 ✭✭✭✭Nekarsulm


    Try a bottle of Red X diesel injector cleaner in the tank. There is some right shyte being sold as diesel at the moment.

    Also has the Pajero got a hand primer button on the top of the diesel filter housing? They can go "bad" for no reason.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,984 Mod ✭✭✭✭blue5000


    Had a similar problem on a land cruiser. Rubber in the top of the fuel filter was perished/cracked and letting in air. Try replacing the filter housing, or rig up a temporary pipe to by-pass the filter housing to see if that eliminates the problem.

    Rust/sh1te in the diesel tank blocking the pipe exit is another possibility.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Sounds like fuel starvation be that from air getting in or a restriction in diesel supply.

    In the tank, jaysus W2 you're having a bad day. You might be able to get at it through the floor in the back underneath all the mealbags, mouldy meal, fence posts, broken stakes and whatever else is in the back. Did it run with the temporary setup?
    With toyota you have to replace the entire filter housing if the rubber is perished, it's the bit you pump to hand prime it, I'm guessing yours is the same.

    Without appearing to be too stupid is it at the back of the jeep or the front of the jeep. When he bypassed the diesel tank it was still at it.

    Can he by-pass the fuel filter housing as well? Any chance of a photo? We might be able to point it out. I know it's a PIA, have been through it too.

    he took the housing and pipes off the 89 jeep and it made no difference and put it on the 98

    They could be perished too. Let him sleep on it, he'll figure it out in the morning.
