Well after a load of dirty fuel over the weekend I had the Patrol in the local Nissan dealer yesterday. It ended up costing me a tank of diesel and $140 for a new fuel filter and for them to delete the fault code on the engine computer.
My question is if this happened out in the scrub I can change the fuel filter, but is there a simple way I can delete this fault code or reset the computer?
Thanks in advance
Snowy

You think as I do in respect to computer engine management, I guess if your in the
Simpson Desert you just pop over to the nearest Dealer....is there any near the
Lone Gum Tree , That's one of the reasons why I like my old and Basic 94 Troopy, No electronic stuff, No Electric windows though a left side one would be handy,
So is there anyone reading Snowy's post who has had THE experience way Outback
and whats the solution, One buys an Off road vehicle , takes it Off road and the computer craps itself, It would be covered under under Warranty but do they go to the crossing of
Lake Poeppel to fix it.???

Here's a resetting proceedure for a TD5 Disco;
Stop car turn off ignition
Open drivers door
pull key from ignition
close drivers door
re insert key into ignition
close drivers door
re-start car
Fault should clear (ie) dash light of the fault should go out, in my case the ABS/TC lights on the dash.
I have a faulty rear ABS sensor which i will replace soon, and occasionally i get a light come on in the dash, which i clear with the above proceedure.
BTW, ABS and TC still work even though one sensor is faulty.
If it doesn't go out then no big deal i just get it cleared next time i'm near a dealer, which cost from $25 to $45 depending on where you are.
