Hi All, particularly Wammers, I eventually changed the glow plugs yesterday and it has just leapt in to life this morning, so very pleased. Changed to Delphi plugs and did it quite quickly second me around! Big Thank you.

Thanks Wammers, half a postal order in the post..... Have order some new delphi glow plugs today. Will feed back if they make a difference will then pursue doing something about the pump.

Thanks Guys, Have checked the output of fuel from the fuel line and had at least 250ml diesel in the bottle. Also checked the current to the pump about 1A for a short period of time then went off, reached pressure? Unfortunately the new glow plugs where britpart. So back to the glow plugs I...

Hi Wammers, Yes I have renewed spill pipes and checked clear pipes is free of bubbles. Will have a go at what you have suggested tomorrow (but daughters birthday party) so might have to wait until one evening next week. Thanks though.

That sounds complicated or do I just detached the fuel line and collect in a container for 30 secs and see how much is collected? My suposition of the pump being the problem stems from the fact to start now needs glowplugs once, then turn over with no intention of starting, glowplugs second...

Hi All, My slow starting problems have been getting worse and chnging the glow plugs made no difference. So having search and read have decided to tckle the in tank fuel pump. There is a non-return valve near the filter with bits of tube and clips so have decided to leave that alone and grasp...

Cheers for the comments. (:

Hi All, Haven't been here for a while, just busy at work life etc but hope all are well. Did manage to get away to France for a few days this week and on the second day heard a rattle sort of noise and started looking for loose trim! Eventually after a particularly noisy drive back from the zoo...

I could only afford scrap yard money on a 95 DT P38 and have had it for a year and love it and have every intention of keeping it going as long as possible. Did the headlinning today in 3 hours on my own and want to go and play in the mud in a couple of weeks time and looking forward to the...

Wow, inspirational and I hope you make it home. You have got me thinking.......

Hi, Newby here but coming over from Jersey to Southampton in a couple of weeks and have a weddy p38 2.5DT that I wish to get it muddy. I will have SWMBO aboard and two young daughters but wondered if there where some easy lanes in the new forest area, maybe with a little ford to cross? Anybody...

Changed various cooling bits but have a leak on the thermostat and reading RAV should there be one or two o-rings involved in keeping the water in? When I took it apart 1 o-ring came out which seems way too big to fit the thermostat itself. I have made an o-ring from two (with super glue) to fit...

Thanks for the encouragement datatek, parts ordered from paddocks.

Hi Guys, Posted a week or so ago temp only in the blue on my 95 DT and have this afternoon changed the water pump, viscous, thermostat and drive belt. The old viscous was alomst solid so suspect that was the culprit but have yet to test run her as the housing for the thermostat is dripping...

Well have left car with friend, suspension on low and thats about it, will risk battery did not want trouble of trickle chargers and if I had thought about it could have done the solar panel thing, which seems a good idea to me as the poor battery on my car gets a hard time with so many short...

Hi Datatek, yes the needle sits just at the top of the blue. It happened shortly after getting the car to Jersey on the run to the ferry it sat at 12ish, I assumed it was jersey driving but in the UK it stayed pretty much there even on the motorway, maybe climbed a little.
