I'm pretty confident on the box. I replaced it about a year ago. I'm more convinced its gonna have to go to a diesel place to get timing and pump checked. Oh well :(

I've got one of the "hot start boxes" fitted for last few years. The one that puts the glow plugs on everytime. I've not read about the chain stretch? Will have to have a read up when started and home. Gutted as know when it starts once cool, it will drive superb and may not do it for a...

Spoke too soon!!! Presently sat in Lakeside carpark waiting for it to cool down enough to start :( Poured over 2 1/2 gallon a water. Is starting to cough, so hopefully in half hour it will be cold enough to fire :(

Cheers so much guys All fitted last night.. 20 mins! Fingers crossed it will go someway to curing it! Thanks again for everyones help. Tel

Thanks so much guys!! Thanks for the instructions Johnny! Have just got email from first place i ordered from out of stocking item.. Managed to order one from Bosch £12 I appreciate what ya say Grit about the timing, but sooo tempted just to drop it in myself. Just see if it helps at...

Yeah, i agree. Its got to the point where the cars worth nothing, but is still imaculate and it is genuinely the only issue the car has. At £20 its worth a go. If im looking at £500 for a recon pump and fit then its not really practical. Would be nice if it done it all or never. But...

Guys Thanks so much for all the advice! To be honest, if a £10 item, could be the cause of all the times ive returned to the car and had to either wait 1hr for it to cool down, or sod about pouring cold water over it, i'd kick myself! But it would be a total result. Ive not used the...

I only removed the very top cover. Not the "naughty" one. It was leaking from the seal. Crank speed is fine. And it's so random. I think year before last it did it about 15 times. Last year 3 times. And about 20 so far this year! The cooler it gets the more it tried to fire. Then when it gets...

Lee, was yours the same symptoms? Randomly won't fire when hot, no matter what ya do. Won't even fire on Easystart. Pour 5gln cold water over pump and it will fire first time and drive as good as gold. Just had a search on net and it looks simple enough to do myself if I can't find anyone? I...

Hey guys. Thanks for the quick replies!! In willing to have a go at anything! What sensor are we saying try? Anyone any idea where it is? I can pick one up tommorow if know what to ask for. As I say by pouring cold water over the pump it then starts. It is total random as to if it starts...

Hi guys Was hopeing for some advice. 1997 2.5 DSE. Ive had issues with the starting when hot for a long time. Not the norm, but it's with the pump. When the pump physically gets hot it will randomly not start. 5 gallon of cold water over the pump cools it down enough to start. It's now...

Cheers! Am thinking i'll go on a bolt shopping spree tomorow just incase, really dont wanna be off the road for the sake of a bolt! And im really not hopeing to go that deep! Kinda relying on it only being the top seal leaking, and not having to touch the next section down. Tel

Johnny your a diamond... Thank you!! Have read that if you havent got the Bosch Tool theres a chance beating an old 6 sided 7mm Socket on may work.. Will try getting the tool, just depends when it will get here by. Hopeing im not gonna struggle to find a replacement bolt if i do knacker it...

Phil Thanks, Just spoke to a guy in the Bosch centre in Colchester.. Both seals (just incase) £5.30 delivered next day.. Guy called Reece, total star! Have decided to throw Glow Plugs, Fuel Filter and Leak offs whilst doing it, so will drop manifold but have to wait for the bits to turn...

Guys. Thanks for all the input and help. It's well appreciated. Hopefully it's just the top. Will know more tomorrow. Will have look round for local bosch shop, but if I have none local is the one you aimed me to Wammers correct? Bosch VE Turbodiesel Injection pump seal kit? Bosch 1 467 010...

To be fair... That does look a little scary in there!!! Lol As long as I can't screw nothing up taking just the top cover off I'm gonna have a go tomorrow. There's a seal kit on EBay for £25 if LR don't sell just the top one

Wammers your a diamond. Thanks mate. Really appreciate it!!!!

Yeah appreciate that. Thanks. Will see where it's leaking from tomorrow. If its just from the top cover and is just a case of remove lid,replace seal then I will do it. If it involves the next section down and adjustments etc, then that ain't for me. I'm game for a laugh and mechanically...

Andrew, do you mean removing the top cover is a nightmare or the next section down? Was kinda hoping remove the 4 bolts. New gasket and back on?

Oh awesome Wammers!!! By dads description it is the very top cover. Not the next section down.. Won't get to look at it till tomorrow, but if he's right, you reckon I can unbolt and change without worry? Are the seals available? Or just buy the £25 kit off EBay? I don't think it's...
