The car is worth about £1500. As it is there just to tow the caravan and use for work on really bad days (when I can't use the bike), I think I might just leave it. A big thank you to all those who have posted replies here. The car isn't worth spending days and loads of money on. I have...

Thanks. I have owned loads of diesels and this is the only one I have had issues with. I have actually changed the glow plugs for new ones and it's exactly the same. The list is getting bigger by the day and I wonder if it's worth keep throwing money at it if after all said and done, I can get...

Ahhh! The sedimentor is behind the chassis?? I assumed that this was part of the filter. Is it best to bypass or replace/repair? Sorry for all the questions. However many I ask, the sedimentor will be next this week! Thanks, John.

Fed up and confused! New fuel filter and still the same. James. If I do find some pipe and there are bubbles in the line, how do I solve this? What I can't understand is how it will start well all day after struggling somewhat in the morning. If there is air in the system, will this not pose...

Thanks. I have searched the net and have asked a few questions with specialists. No one seems to know the exact answer. One firm said that I needed to re-earth the engine and body. I have cut a set of jump leads up, run one wire from the battery earth to the engine and another from engine to...

Thanks all. I will have a look at the lift pump and let you know. John.

I wasn't entirely sure but thought it best to rule out this possibility. Unfortunately, new glow plugs and the issue still exists. Help!

Hi All.<br /> <br /> When I come to my 1996 300 in a morning, I have loads of power in the battery.<br /> <br /> Glow plugs light and go out.<br /> <br /> I crank the car over, but it won't catch. As soon as I release the key, it stops - refusing to fire. <br /> <br /> I have tried holding it on...

Thought as much. The kryptonite is quite low!

You have lost me?? I searched the site and couldn't find the answer??? Does anyone have/has had a similar issue? Thanks, John.

Hi All. When I come to my 1996 300 in a morning, I have loads of power in the battery. Glow plugs light and go out. I crank the car over, but it won't catch. As soon as I release the key, it stops - refusing to fire. I have tried holding it on the key with no success. The only way to start...

In that case, it would appear that my auto 300tdi is in good order as there are no adjustments or alterations made, performance is OK, and it doesn't smoke. Would it not be easier for me just to change the down pipe and and leave the EGR alone? After all, if the EGR removal doesn't make a...

I believe that the wires are just tucked away as the ECU will adapt without it. Will you post on here if you find any difference in power? Lots of people mention a difference in smoke, but I have not read one post that states a difference in power. Towing a 1900kgs caravan, I would be...
