Chaps,
Got a few gremlins with my TD5 53 plate and just want to clarify the diagnostics I have.
1. On tickover its very lumpy and sounds like its gonna stall, when changing gear it blows out puffs of black smoke. Had it on a diagnostics machine and it says No 1 injector short curcuit, and thats all it says.
Is that the injector itself or just a fault in the wireing loom ?
2. diesel gauge fluctuates between totally empty to near full, then totally empty and stays there with the empty light on. Have cut out a section of carpet in the boot floor to reveal the inspection plate but cant get the plastic cap off to view the float.
Would it be a sticky float? or a dodgy sender unit?
Its my first post in this section so please be gentle
Regards
