Thanks for the input guys i have got her going. Stuck the vam sensor in tye freezer and hey presto away she goes. Just did a test drive and alls good apart from it farts after blocking off the egr valve. Quite like the noise really lol. It doesnay soumd healthy farting away a bit like myself but...

Thanks pal. I think i am going to change the cam sensor as the fuel pumps were fine before and i uear them both humming away. Its dojng my nut in that i had no warning lights and after a good clean up I seem to have buggered up something. Can i clean the cam sensor with anything? I just wiped it...

When i try to start it both the yellow engine lights stay on. It turns ok and just does not catch. Can someone tell me how the engine compensates on injector timing if i have buggered about with manually cranking tue engine to a different position? Thanks Chris

Thanks guys. What i mean is after manually turning the engine to retrieve a tip how does the engine know the position of the pistons im relation to the injectors timing if i have manually turned the engine and have left the pistons in a different position? Yeah the tiny discs are very very...

Hi pal. Thanks for the reply, yeah new copper washers fitted I didn't bleed anything. I have just done a leak past test and all held ok. How do i bleed the system. I read you turn on the ignition and let tye pumps run then when they stop repeat 4 times in total to self bleed. I just had another...

Thanks pal i am away to do that and going to strip the injectors once i find a pdf on their parts and how tuey go together as I may have rebuilt them wrong although 8 doubt it as i had them laid out carefully on a table. All i did was dismantle them one at a time and removed the long pin, small...

Yeah i fitted an after market lp pump thats rather noisy but works. Thanks Chris P.S Mines is an 04 plate.

I think its time for ke to invest in a diagnostic plug in. Any pointers on the best one to get folks? C

Hi pal. Yeah the ground clamo was on the engine next to the glow plug. No i never disconnected the regulator pal. I think i have bitten off more than i can chew to be honest. So much for my cheap motoring I feel I am more of a liabilty to the motor. It was running sweet before i stripped and...

Thanks pal. Just checked it and its definately the right way in. I am worried about welding damage. C

Cheers Andy. Can't get it read for a few weeks but i am thinking i have fried the pressure sensor on the fuel rail when i attempted to weld a bar onto the glow plug stump. Most of the other sensors were off the car. I hope i haven't knackered the ecu. Typical diy mechanic here who is a bit...

Hi folks. After decoking the air intake, new filters, new glow plugs and cleaned the injectors the bloody motor wont start. I purged the fuel through as per the book and it just turns and doent even threaten to start. I notice the engine light with the exclamation stays on when i turn the...

Alas i got everything back together and it wont start. Why did i decide to clean ot out? The 2 engine lights stay on when i turn the engine so thinking i have a onackered sensor after removing them to clean up everything. Oh well. C

How very true squire lol. Glad i listened to you guys and now have a grabber and small camera ordered for the next time. Just a cheap android plug in for a tenner so see how it goes. Handy since i am a boiler engineer too

I just got a trophy thanks

Thanks folks for the input. Panics over 8 hours later and i fluked it out with 6mm microbore and the wifes now black and oily dyson. I'm a dead man when she gets home lol. Thanks for the input guys i am away to put my baby back together and get out for a spin. A front end knock and an underseal...

Hello again Andy. Thanks for the offer Having a break and then one more go with the hoover then its back to work tomorriw and forget about if for a few days. I bought the motor with the intention of fishing and shooting and not spending much on it so will see if i can get someone in...

Many thanks pal. I am in westhill and think i will have a look at a camera as this is just not happenimg blinda day and a half and starting to get a short tempered lol. Thanks C

Many thanks Andy.

I have knackered my motor temporarily. Glow plug tip broken of and currently residing in the combustion chamber. Lying on top of the second left piston and giving me the bird. C
