Sounds daft but try some fuel cleaner (Redex) if the pump is in the tank +gauge it may be sticky or possibly as easy as a sticky lip valve,what ever it is ,a £5 quid additive wont do any harm,and if it works ,your quids in.

I just bought a bottle of diesel system cleaner for my 128K TD5 had it 2 yrs now,so thinking that maybe the injectors need a clean and all the fuel bits I filled up the tank and threw the whole bottle in !,,, 250ml, (2 shots) , 1 week later the...

Personally, I wouldn't spend time under a car held up by axle stands. Especially if I'm yanking on rusted up nuts and bolts and possibly rocking the car. Sod that for fun.

An alternative for those wot don't care to watch wimbledon

What is this wimmins kissball that’s dominating TV.

For the OP, let's hope that the crank sensor is the sacrificial gadget to stop the engine.

Just to say. Filled coolant and it now seems to not be leaking so they must not have filled it up after job and i drove home with it empty. Starting and running but more woah than go and temp going up towards half but only driven short distance...

There’s loads of threads in searchbar (top right) on it as most of us have done it at some point. It’s not as bad as you would think once you get stuck in. If you go full removal good idea to place the bits in the boot as you disassemble, then it...

Got a fair bit more progress to show you guys! Stripped the block of front cover, cam chain and sprockets, camshaft, pistons & rods, crankshaft and sump. Here's some pics... Then I cleaned the sump... Then I removed...
