That sounds pretty straight forward, i will certainly do this first. Many thanks for your advice. I have just noticed that the pipe that feeds the filter may have a very small leak at the first joint following the clip. So looks like this is now my first priority ! I hope i don't need to...

what size valve did you use storm1, i assume 6 or 8mm. Thanks

I changed the glow plugs only 6 month ago. Not sure about the leak off pipes, or what i am looking for to be honest with you, best take a look at the rave manual !

How far is your journey?

Hello all, After reading a number of old posts on this subject, it has been mentioned that fitting a one way valve on the fuel line between filter and engine may mix the problem. Has anyone actually done it, and what sort/size valve was purchased and from where? Thank you. Attached Thumbnails

Is this your web site mad man?

They didn't charge me thanks.

Thank you very much.... Forgot to mention, i had to purchased a new battery this morning ! Only had it 8 months or so, and wondered if my recent low mileage was perhaps the cause, or at least a good contributing factor.

Will me doing only 2 miles a day srew up my battery? I wonder how many miles are actually needed to keep the battery fully charged and in good condition. I'm sure it's no exact science, but does anyone know? Thank you Richard, ps: Does the alternator charge the battery when the car is sat...
