Mine was flashing on my car the other Friday night, I changed diesel from the normal stuff I was putting in and it stopped flashing the next day, I was using that BP Ultimate diesel but the car didn't like it.

This sounds like the solution for the TX11,but here in London it has yet to happen.
Don't forget after installing the Nissan engine, a Livingstone emission system will have to be added.
Anyone know of this happening in London?
Also how freely available are spare parts for the Nissan engine?

The light flashing means that there is a fault in the engine and a trip to the dealer to get the code read.
It also puts the cab in 'safe mode' or around 75% of engine power which means its bloody gutless.
Mine has recently started flashing and it needed a new ERG valve.

The engine and box out of a Nissan Navara will fit and you wont need the emission equipment, and you can chip it as well :wink:

Just a little bit, the mechanic told me to give it a whirl with BP Ultimate. You can feel your money bag being sucked into the tank when you fill up.
