    p38 4.6hse steering bleed

    didn't think you could bleed it? after filling cars in the past from empty i just did a few turns lock to lock, could be wrong in this case though with them having a steering box and all, what makes you want to bleed it?

    Bad idle DSE

    After the engine has been running a few seconds the idle jumps up and down, settles for a few seconds if you give it a pump on the throttle, whats the cause likely to be? sometimes stops for a period of time and returns? thanks josh

    No glow plug reading no in tank fuel pump power.

    Ive performed the above tests. The pump worked when i did this but doesn't pump when the key is in position 2, im guessing its regulated when the injector pump is empty (which it isn't) so doesn't need to activate the in tank pump. The glow plug light does come on the dashboard for a few...

    No glow plug reading no in tank fuel pump power.

    Started a new thread with regards to my non starting issue, ive tested the glow plugs with a multi meter, Positive end on the plug and negative on the negative terminal of the battery and im not getting any reading whatsoever while they should be heating when the key is in position 2. Also no...

    Turns over but doesn't start

    yeh not going into the top of the pump though? there is one nearer the timing chain a bit lower down (the inlet) and the outlet is on top of the pump is that right? Where should i be fault finding if the fuel is not coming through? will it do it just on cranking or just with the key in position...

    Windows, sunroof mirrors don't work.

    ive got the same problem.

    Turns over but doesn't start

    right i think i may have tracked down the problem, the fuel feed on the injector pump from the tank, should it be going into the top of the pump or the back (near the alternator) When i turn the ignition on and turn over the engine i have disconnected the pipe from the tank and nothing comes out?

    Turns over but doesn't start

    Think i might need a new battery

    ive got the earth strap located to the left of the engine near the air compressor pump, what should it be screwed to? ive screwed it to the engine block is that right?

    Think i might need a new battery

    might head down to the breakers and see if they have any decent used ones, rather have one of those that a cheap too small new one tbh. does it sound like too little volts when cranking then? too low to even let the starter catch as it just spins at the moment?
