the power chips and hardware do work. how to check the fuel? i don't know about african standards, but here in the 'states, we have octane ratings on our fuels. get the highest rating you can. or try adding some octane booster, as well as fuel injector cleaner. look for labels specified for diesel. additionally, i'd change the fuel filter.
also, i'd LOVE to see your pictures of africa, and i have many links and info for suspensions on trucks...specifically, the type you are looking for. Cheers yourself! :)
P.S. how many miles (Kilometeres) is on your engine?

Have you checked your turbo boost pressure?If its inter cooled check that all cooler hoses sound and you have no leaks.Also check your turbo waste gate.Power chips work not to be recommended for North Africa they put extra load on all your engine components.In these conditions the simpler the better.

Possibly the turbo has given up the goat.
(Don't octane boosters only help with Petrol/Gasoline????)
