rattling noises amongst other things.

Hi guys,

I have a HDJ80 1993 model, its a manual 12v 4.2 diesel. I had the car for about a year and a half now.
I have noticed a few things last week that cropped up all at once.

First. was a rattling noise from the rear of the car, that sounds like a stone in a metal can. This weirdly enough only happens on smooth roads. But when i gently step on the breaks are i drive, the noise stops as i give it gas at the same time. I changed the rear bushes all round, checked the shoes and pads all are fine and changed stabilizer links, but cant seem to find this noise when i check manually. any clues?

second,
if I'm backing up on a gentle slope or just a mild slope, with my foot on the clutch and on the break, the car shuts off. like it has just run out of fuel, with out any warning I have asked around and no one seems to have a solid answer for me. Some guys say its the filter while others say it the injectors, or electrical etc.
Im not sure what to think, but i want to fix the issue. will increasing the idling help the problem? any suggestions.

Any help will be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks in advance,

Gabe

i found the noise, it was the rear brake pads rattling in the caliper. any one have any ideas on the cutting off

Have you taken the filter out of the fuel tank?

Hi Gabe,

The stalling on hills could be a pump issue (if I remember correctly) , it's fairly common and well documented on Australian forums. Is your idle rpm the same on a slope as it is on flat ground?
