apparently the hot start problem may be fixed by retiming the injector pump,does anyone know someone in warwickshire,or oxfordshire who could do this?
no point travelling miles,not when it is only doing 8 mpg on diesel!
or as it is bonfire night could keep myself warm for an hour or so.

Think you have a lot worse problem than pump timing if that is all your getting. Unless you have been playing with the pump that is. Timing is done with a special tools and a DTI you CANNOT do it without one.

Just FYI but I located a real expert on diesel injection systems, particularly Bosch and they fixed the hot-start problem. They cleaned injectors I think and adjusted some setting on pump. They said it has 3,6,9 setting and it was on 3 and they moved it to 6 as I understood - they were speaking Czech so it was not easy to understand - just shows you don't need to start re-wiring your car to get it sorted and risk fuel economy. BTW: My P38 has done 280,000Kms.

well if they can do it,why can't we,all i get from our local landy garage,ahh it needs a new pump mate,doesn't make sense to me,as cold it starts perfect,no excess smoke even when hot.
just takes a few extra turns to fire up.
