Hi. My civilian (88) has a hole at the very top of the front pipe, just before the exhaust outlet from the engine. It's about 1cm wide and 5mm long. Would this cause quite a big loss in power? I know it would effect the bus but how much is the question. Bus is VERY slow. Ed33

Inlet and exhaust are clear. Activating the start sequence, I get thick white smoke out the exhaust. Would that be vapor from the fuel injector, or is it vapor from being subject to heat from the igniter ? igniter and screen are clean.

How do people connect the suitable wire, like 6B&S, to controller? Also why are the controller screws flat rather than phillips? Aussie Paul

My recently purchased 2006 Jayco Conquest users Fiat Ducato 2.8 turbo diesel mechanics. The power steering fluid is on the minimum mark and the book says to use Tutela GI/A fluid. I can't get that, so what is an equivalent that will mix with it? Thanks folks
