Goolwa

OK, so it is only 70 ks up the road, but we won a holiday auction here so we are getting it at a good price. There is another reason, I have been chasing the terrible fuel consumption problems with the Navara and this seems like a good chance to test the latest development.
I took the Navara to Turbo Tune for a dynomometer test, they found about 20 horses had escaped from under the bonnet. The culprit was the air flow monitor that was dirty, so it was giving wrong information to the computer that controls the Air to Fuel Ratio. A good clean and the horses returned. The Navara feels better with more low end torque and it will cruise in overdrive without dropping down a gear at the slightest hill. The big test will come when I fill the tank up.
