New to Surf and need some pointers.
Hi I am new to owning a Surf having just bought a KN130 3.0, got it as a simple winter run around as I finish the building of Range Rover.
I think the Surf will be getting held onto as I love not having loads of computers and warning messages to deal with!!
The Surf starts and runs fine, but seems slow getting up to speed and when faced with a hill slows to around 40 Mph and I have noticed the auto box seems to change up and down at random, sometimes too early or late or so it seems, either engine revs high or it kinda bogs down if you get my drift!
The auto box has had a fluid change and the dipstick shows clean fresh fluid, engine has had oil and filter changed along with air and diesel filters.
Now here is were I need help, form reading on here is it possible for the slow to build speed and climb hills issue the turbo has an issue, I don't see any light on the dash for turbo nor do I get any warning lights?? Any pointers for what to look for??
The auto box, what do I need to check and do I have any adjustment for changing up or shifting down that could help?
Last question would a faulty ecu effect the running and auto box and if so what checks can I do before sending it away for repair?
Due home onshore from work Friday so hope to look at what is going-on, did try some garages around Aberdeen but nobody wants to touch the Surf, so it is down to trying what you guys on here say is worth trying.
