Hi...can anyone shed light on a fault where a 2.8l GU will for no reason start running rough or just stop when idling, and the tacho will not work. Its a friend of mines and he has been told its a 'speed sensor' and its around $4k to fix. Otherwise he's thinking of changing to a different motor all together.

I have a GU 2.8 liter TDiesel. The speed sensor or anything else is controlled by the MCU Motor control unit or ECU (Emission control unit).
The sensot is on the transfer case and goes to the computer ECU.
You should have a faultshowing on the dash board.
If you haven't it is probably something simpler like bad fuel and the fuelk filter got to be changed and the fuel tank completly cleaned.
I had that in Alice Spring at the Woolworths diesel station.
The engine could not go above 2000 rpm at any speed 100 kms after filling up.
Buy a manual. I know they are pricy but this will stop you listening to the BS of the so call experts in the garages and outside the garages.
I have the two manuals and I am so glad I bought them. $400 for the two.
The BS that the Nissan mechanics tell you is incredible.
They'll try to contradict the technical manual to use short cuts and charge more.

Dont want to act smart or something , but I am sure the bad fuel wont make his tacko stop working , I do agree with the purchase of the manuel . At lest you can
test all your sensors with a multymeter
