    Guys,

    Got a 98 2.8 diesel shogun.

    Has become very difficult to start. Starts first time when the diesel tank is full, nightmare when there's less in it. Changed the diesel filter in the engine bay, no difference.

    Need a mechanic that knows there way round shoguns to give it a look. Anyone know anyone? Preferably round the ballymena area.

    Cheers
    Paul

    sounds like a dodgy fuel pump

    Thanks for the replies guys, the owners forum suggested it was more likely the fuel lines sucking some air in.

    I know a good mitsi mechanic in Antrim. Works for mitsi I believe, but does homers...

    Want his number?
