    battery warning light

    Sounds like the diode are worn. Most diesel are robust when the power from the battery isn't great. Not the same with petrol though. I would have the alternator checked to make sure it faulty. Which end of Manchester are you. I am in North Manchester. regards neighbour

    Tdi still drawing air

    Pipeline may be to obvious but you could rig up divert line to the sender outlet line then back to the return pipe with a clear hose of equal length to the filter. In other words a big loop. There with the electric pump running for a short time see if your producing bubbles. That way you can...

    cross member replace or repair
