Hi all, long time no speak. I am looking for your opinion on a problem I have with my Diesel.
About a week and a half ago my Rangie suddenly became difficult to start. Lots of cranking until a cylinder or two start to catch then carry on until the revs pick up.
I have assumed that the glow plugs have failed and have a set on hand. I am going to fit glow plugs regardless.
Looking over the engine I noticed that it has drunk quite a bit of coolant with about a third of the header tank coolant gone. Looked at the oil filler and dipstick but no sign at all of emulsion.
I am now worried that the sudden difficulty starting is lack of compression rather than glow plugs.
Is this the end of of my big blue legend?
