can any one help i have a 92 2.4 surf ssrx with a veg conversion on it but just recently i been having a little trouble with it in the sense of it keeps acting like its ran out of diesel ie no power absolute bitch to start etc also occasionally the brake light is lit up on the dash and also the o/d light flashes any one got any ideas as been in garage all this week and still no luck in finding out whats up with it also if anyone wants/needs or knows anyone who wants/needs any parts of a 2.4 j reg let me know as have a full second car to go before xmas

Anyway.....Back to the point. Brake light is from:

- brake fluid being low
- brake pads being worn
- float sensor in fluid reservoir being stuck
- the handbrake being on

As for starting, maybe glow plugs or injectors? How much veg do you run it on? I think the O/D light flashes when there's a problem with the transmission. Could just be a dodgy connection. Do a search on "o/d flash"

No idea on the lights then. Alternator on its way out?

As for the running out of fuel, it sounds to me like a problem in fuel getting through, particularly if you're running on that much fat. I would check the fuel pump first, then the injectors.

Presumably you have checked the breather to the tank too, othewise you'd get a vaccum in there wouldn't you?
