So, decided to wait until I could get some decent axle stands, 3 tonne rated each, that will do lol! Crawled around underneath, checking air lines, the compressor, the air tank... bit confused about what there are multiple lines running off the compressor, colour coded, but only one running out...

Ah, actually I think I bought some form of EAS software do-hicky and a cable from someone on here when I first got the Tank, have to dig it out I guess.

No good, my towbar IS a swan neck. Havent got anything to read or clear faults, guess I'll have to pay someone else for that.

So, driving home, and the suspension button on dash lights up, "EAS fault" comes on dash. Nose goes up, tail goes down, lower on drivers side. I nurse it home, and park up. Drivers rear is definitely lower than the other side. So, it's an air fault of some kind, maybe a bag has gone? First...

Well, turns out it wasn't the fuel pump,, was a bugger of a job, however I am glad I did it as one of the metal elbows just above the fuel pump housing was badly corroded. Turns out its the crankshaft sensor, does anyone know which is the correct one, baring in mind the one that came off is the...

New plugs installed recently (sub 1000 miles), it starts if you use easy start in the air intake, but stops when you stop spraying. Touching the fuel lines near the tank, no indication (vibration) of anything working. The clear fuel line from the filter towards the engine has large air bubbles...

I'll check the pump first, if I am lucky and its not that I'll head for the pipes.

Yeah, that's my preferred option too, not keen on cutting up a perfectly good vehicle lol. I'll check to see if the pump is... well, pumping first, if it is, then the leak-off pipes are the next candidate for blame. Any tips on how to if I do have to drop the tank... baring in mind its going to...

That's a good idea, thanks... would you drop the tank, or cut the floor?

Ok, so, if I read that correctly, I should take the fuel line off, put a bottle of some kind over the end, and then turn the ignition until the glow plugs come on, when I should get fuel pumping, and if I don't, then the pump is FUBAR. If that's the case, do I drop the tank, or cut the floor...

I know I must have around 25 to 30 litres in it unfortunately, just hoping it isn't that.

So, as I thought, mine doesn't have a manual primer pump, so no use looking any more for that lol. Still wary about the "easy start" option, so I will pop the fuel line off and turn it over, see if the pump is actually pumping, if not, then I guess that's the culprit... so, next question, if it...

Its been sat a while, earth strap off as I haven't pinned down my battery drain. Popped the earth back on, jumped in, turned the key... cranking... cranking... and eventually I give up. It did this before, cranked for a while and then started rather lumpily before fully firing up. Swapped out...

WD40 is about the only help I've got for stuck plugs lol. Copper grease is a good call, I'll pick some up before I start.

So, I'm changing the glow plugs. Its an aluminium inlet manifold, and that has to come off to make doing the plugs easier, so I got new gaskets. Seeing as I'm in this vicinity, I've also been advised to take the opportunity to change the leak-off hoses, and I got a length of fuel hose to do...
