Bongo Fury

Hi Everyone
After leaving home and travelling about 2 miles Bongo suddenly reduced speed to about 6 mph so stopped within a couple of hundred yards.
Putting in park and revving there was a knocking noise and black smoke from the exhaust.http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... ost&f=3#On switching off for a couple of minutes and restarting everything working fine.Drove back home ok.After a few hours took her out for a short drive about 5 miles and took her up to 80mph no problem.Any ideas what it could have been its a 2.5 diesel auto 1998 4 wheel drive

dunno:?: maybe a temporary fuel starvation problem

if you were revving it hard and black smoke came out that wouldnt be unusual from a diesel engine IMO, just clearing out the mucky carbon build up, perhaps that was the problem and you cured it

sometimes i give mine the full beans just to clear out the muck

other than that i dont know

rgds

is it a winterpack motor,with the little engine switch by your right knee etc.

Yes ADY it is with the winter pack and it may have been switched on.Do you think that may have been the problem?

Sounds like a very likely suspect to me If it's not something you normally use, may be a good idea to disconnect the switch?

Will disconnect the switch.
thanks for the help
