BiL's 2006 HiLux 3.0D4D has been running rough and smoking... Early diagnosis is that the diesel injectors are knackered and have probably damaged the fuel pump too. It's now off the road, but the garage suspects he's made the damage worse by driving it for a few days in this state?
It's done 90k miles, but he bought it used barely 6 months ago. Local word of mouth is that this is a known fault on this engine? News to me. I'd have blamed wear & tear after 4 hard years? Didn't the early Volvo D5s suffer the same problem around 100k miles?
