Just been looking at prices of parts on eBay and got me thinking about picking up some cheap possibly none runners and ripping them to bits for parts. Anyone else tried this? I've seen old battered ones going for £750 so there gotta be some profit in that.

Haha. Perhaps I should order some more then. Will see how it is with the new battery first.

They were britpart ones. £34 inc vat... But cranking speed does seem a touch slower than I would expect. Should turn quicker with the new battery.

I will check voltage to all the plugs.. All 6 plugs are brand new to can rule them out. I can't see any air in the clear fuel line, someone has fitted a valve in the middle of it though and it looks pretty poor on the connections. Perhaps that could be hindering flow? But when it eventually...

It's starting to do my head in now. Lol. Perhaps when the new battery comes it will be a different story.. I ordered the one suggested earlier on from battery megastore

Well I've already changed all 6 plugs. Will check there's is the required voltage to each plug first. Then go from there. Would having the FIP reconed help??

Sub working. Orange wire and orange black wires to feed sub connected into one of the speaker outs on the speaker plug. Working perfectly.

Ignore that about the glows. Just had a better check. Must have had a bad ground on multi meter. Power to glow 6 is fine anyway. Will check rest. But. I've just removed the hot start fix box and the connections were shocking. Re did all then with crimps and it started better. Not perfect but...

Great thanks. Hopefully they will be along soon to offer advice.

I'm kinda thinking this could be causing the starting issues. Any diesel will struggle to fire with no glows wouldn't it? And it starts fine with easy start, after some cranking which I'm assuming will be the easy start working its way through to the cylinders... Could I take a direct 12v feed...

Just had a multi metre on the glows and when ignition on there's only 2.75v going to glow number 6... That don't change wether glow light is on on the dash or not

It's this one.. Just a thought. I've seen a mini amp on eBay for £22. This is my plan, run a twin phono lead from hu to boot to plug into mini amp... Pick up the power and rem wire into existing hk amp for the power then use existing wires into sub and back into door speakers. Would that work...

If I was to get someone with diagnostics equipment would it be possible to find out the starting problem?

Repaired the fuel line as per your instruction. Luckily I had all the bits, a roll of copper brake pipe of a perfect diameter that it had to be hammered into the broken connector so very tight fit, cut off leaving a good inch or so to slot inside rubber fuel injection hose, that needed to be in...

Where can I get one of these from? It's the elbow that connects the fuel line to top of filter. No where has it and LR want me to buy the whole line at £57 + vat. Rather expensive mistake. And nothing I can do till Tuesday now with it been Easter weekend.

But there was 3 seconds before owt came out. I presume I'd got some air in the line when I disconnected it. Will try it again tomorrow. It's got a full tank of fuel in so will take some driving about to empty it to be able to fit a new pump.

Would that say pump is not causing the starting issues?

Can anyone tell me if there is anyway to tell which sound system I have and wether I can get it working properly with a sony head unit or not? Its a 2000 (X reg) DHSE Have sub in boot (not working with sony, cant test with factory hu as its locked) In the rear speakers it works fine in the...

I got 110ml of diesel in the 10 seconds but it took 3 seconds to start flowing, possible air in the line? I disconnected the feed pipe from the filter housing and broke the plastic connector in the end of the pipe aswell.

Just gonna get on with that now. Defo a faulty map too as I drove a mile or so with it connected then back with it disconnected and it was exactly the same.
