Hello,
I thought I could smell diesel on my way into work this morning.
I parked up at work and then left it a couple of hours and went back to check. It took about 20 seconds of churning before the engine would fire (it's always started right off before) and sure enough, when I lifted the bonnet the there was a steady drip from the bottom of the lift pump and a spray from the back of it, in the direction of the bell housing.
As it happens, I have a spare lift pump at home but I don't want to drive home to fit it - the leak is just too bad. I'll have to get an AA recovery - oh the shame!
What a pity I was not out over the weekend with it as I would have probably picked up the fault sooner. Bugger!
