Thought I would start a new thread as this is a new problem.
As you are aware, snapped a glow plug off, took head off and removed the broken one.
Fitted new HG and rebuilt, after allot of arsing about priming the fuel system got it started.
Since then I thought i had a problem with air getting into the fuel lines over night.
Yesterday i spent 2-3 hours going through all fuel connections and lines.
Fuel sender unit, sedimentor, all pipes, injector pipes, spill pipes, tightened everywhere up and if i was unsure i smeared some silison sealer.
I am 99% confident there is no where for air to get in.
Came to it this morning, tried to turn it over........10-15 turns and battery is dead!!!!!!! which is brand new. put the jump leads on for 2 minutes with my mrs car running and it starts pretty much straight off.......
Then it starts 1st turn for the rest of the day.....
I am totally lost as what to try next?... alternator? starter motor?... ant other suggestions please....
