Re: New member! Also, advice on a diesel pinz....

Welcome sir,

That should be a good rig for ya. Andre at Fat Fabrications has some 718 parts and Jake Raby says the engines are still widely available in Europe. Just drive and enjoy.

cheers, Merrick

Re: Sudden poor performance

I would pull the distributor cap and check it for moisture. I have this issue with my 712 and again with my 710 a few weeks ago after a temp drop... and some river crossings.
