Thanks for this advice ... need to take a few things off to take a good look and I will probably just change them for completeness. Just looking now, there are air bubbles coming up the fuel pipe from the block so there is clearly air getting into the sytem somewhere beyond that. I will...

Wills, the short answer is no ... can you explain what these are please and I will go and pop the bonnet! Cheers

Other than the bit of metal pipe coming out of the pump (which is new) all the other pipes are in good condition and are actually plastic. There are no leaks which suggests they are not passing any air.

Recently had issues with starting and found I needed a new fuel pump. Dropped the tank and changed the pump... the old one was badly corroded where the metal pipes came out of the top of the pump. Pump seems to be working fine ... however ... when parked up, I find the vehicle difficult to...

The problem is that there is no hole to stick a big screwdriver in. Access is very poor hence today I have taken out the radiator and cooler for the turbo to get access to the fan. I have also tried to find the special tools mentioned in the manual ... I have the spanner to fit but cannot...

Thanks for all the advice. Upon closer inspection this morning I found there is air in the fuel pipe after the fuel filter. Also, my tank is less than 1/3 full. I will take a look at the suggested remedies over the next few days. Thanks Stuart Parker

I have not changed the glow plugs. In terms of the in tank fuel pump - would this not mean the engine would not run at all? Once I get it to start it works fine. Sounds like it is something to do with glow plugs or a sensor as advised.

Yes. I tried to jam a screwdriver between two bolts on the pulley but this did not work. Stuart

Found my P38 Diesel to suddenly be noisy, especially in lower gears when on higher revs. Was advised that I should check the viscous fan is working correctly. Found the fan was almost seased and hence running constantly. Had a couple of hours trying to take this off but gave up in the end. The...

Thanks Adam. You will have to bear with me as I am a bit of a novice. Which temperature sensor do you mean? Engine coolant, fuel temp, air intake? Stuart

I am having intermitant problems with starting ... but only in the last week. Suddenly I am finding it very difficult to start the vehicle. It can take 4-5 attempts for 30 seconds to get it going. Sometimes it starts first time(this can be cold or warm) When attempting to start, the motor...
