Hi. In an attempt to get to the bottom of the lumpy starting with her indoors TD4 i rigged up a cheap leak back tester. four coke bottles and a bit of tubing

Connected and let idle for five minutes. The result?

Crude but effective:D

Now doesn,t seem to be any big differences, number two very slightly down but not enough to warrent any replacements.

When we start the vehicle it sounds like its running on three cylinders, quite smokey, blueish greyish and smells of diesel. Could the glowplugs be on their way out?
