Hello Everyone,

I have a 2003 100 series 4.2 diesel landcruiser that tends to stutter when I accelerate heavily or when it is under load (eg going up a steep hill). Also, when I am driving it around town you get a sensation of the vehicle hiccupping/lugging when you accelerate. All this along with some pretty serious black smoke when accelerating and generally poor fuel economy. Does anyone have any ideas what is happening here? The vehicle is still under warranty and I'm trying to get things sorted and would like to get a bit of a handle on whats happening so I can deal with the mechanics/dealer with more confidence.

Cheers
Craig
