hi guys
i have a few problems i could do with picking your brains about

i bought my truck around a year ago an 07 plate l200 animal di-d and when i first got it driving it back home i went just over 70 for it to cut out and go into limp mode and eml light on and i put this on topic then and got a egr cut off kit from foxy chris and worked a treat, but just the other day it has started again this time even when i just put my foot down pulling away it done it but mainly at high speeds so my question is do you think its the same problem or could it be different ??

and for my next trick the truck is very slow to start on a morning to the point of in the winter it actually drained my battery trying to get it to tick over and when it does a puff of smoke comes out but then its fine after that ?? any suggestions ?? or could this be related to above problem ??

and finally ive just been reading on here about a multi disc changer behind the seats and after a year of owning it just discovered i own a 10 disc one now the only problem is ive went to lock my back seats up and the back rests wont lock back into place this is the first time ive moved them so no idea is there a button or something i should be pulling to lock them back into place ?? im an idiot i know but you dont ask you dont get

thanks in advance craig

Start by getting your battery tested, a truck wont run right if it has low voltage.
Test the alternator as well to check for good charging.
Then test the Glow plugs are working correctly or it wont start.

cant help with your running issues but there should be a little tab thing you pull up next to the center rear headrest that lets you pull the seat forward, make sure it's not stuck in the 'up' position
