My brothers just bought 1999 def 90, which has had a well known company fit a v8 to it. He says sometimes when he drives down the road, it will suddenly run rough like its running short of a few cylinders.
When he stops and turns off the ignition for a few seconds, then starts, its fine for a couple of days and then it does it again.
He has changed the coil, plugs, leads and dizzy cap but it still does it.
I know your all gonna say take it back, but ive said that. Hes a funny [!Expletive Deleted!] when it comes to things like this so i wondered if anyone has any ideas. I think the engine is a 3.9 efi from a rangy. Cheers. :D

Check the fuel filters, could be a fuel blockage... Could also be a faulty fuel pump or connection.
Personally, I'd take it back to the garage and see what they have to say about it.

Sorry forgot to mention, have tried fuel pump and changed filters. Is there a filter inthe tank. It was a Td5.??

is it still running the td5 tank/pump? I wonder if the pump is putting out insuffficient pressure for efi?
