Oh no, certainly not ignoring your advice...I am totally lost in this and trying just about everything now. Took a break today and did some gardening to clear my head a bit :) I ordered a diagnostic tool as you suggested and took delivery of it a couple of hours ago. I havent plugged it in yet...

Thanks for this, I fitted it as you suggested and it is clear now. Problem still exists though :( Rich

Thanks for that, I will try the other way.

I removed it today and it is spotlessly clean. Now can't get the ring back on :(

I have been working on this for weeks and so far: my cylinder head had a cracked no1 injector housing so I got it repaired. Have now reassembled it but have done some other stuff at the same time including; fitting new fuel pressure regulator and removing and blanking off the EGR valve...

You can uncross your fingers. It didn't make any difference. Although it did bleed quicker - only 20 mins this time

Ha Haaaaa...problem solved. I undid the return pipe (of a 3 pipe pressure switch) from the pressure switch end and blew through it. There was some resistance and then it cleared ...leastways I hope it wasn't my imagination. But I know it is clear now. Fingers crossed.

This is what I have done so far. So far: my cylinder head had a cracked no1 injector housing so I got it repaired. Have now reassembled it but have done some other stuff at the same time including; fitting new fuel pressure regulator and removing and blanking off the EGR valve (genuine seals...

I fitted a brand new fuel pressure regulator and I am having trouble (wont run, keep needing to purge it, etc) so does anyone know what symptoms to expect from a faulty fuel pressure regulator as I cannot discount that the new one may be faulty? :confused:

I found this suggestion using the search facility. It seemed to be just what I was looking for and I followed it to the letter. After an hour of purging it started with little trouble and run for a minute or so without kicking and then stopped. I purged it again for 30 mins this time and again...

This is what I have done so far. First: my cylinder head had a cracked injector housing so I got it repaired. Have now reassembled it but have done some other stuff at the same time including; fitting new fuel pressure regulator and removing and blanking off the EGR valve (genuine seals and...

Thank you, I have listened and can hear the pump...it does a screaming noise but then eventually does go quiet. Every time I turn it on it does the same thing. I will clean the plastic gauze filter as suggested.

Thanks thats very useful. :)

Its definitely a kick, not a click. No I haven't put a tester on it - I dont have one, but think I may need to buy one. Any ideas on best one to buy?

I have purged it, but will keep on purging it, thank you

Ok, I am really getting desperate now...and I dont know what to try next. This is what I have done so far. First: my cylinder head had a cracked injector housing so I got it repaired. Have now reassembled it but have done some other stuff at the same time including; fitting new fuel pressure...

Thanks for this I will certainly check the fuel lines as I wasn't aware they could be wrong way round (although I did fit a new pressure switch which had pipes attached).....and will leave the injectors for the time being. The pump does scream when turned on but does quieten eventually so I will...

Tomorrow I will swap round the injectors in case I mistakenly started from the back instead of the front. Any other suggestions very welcome as I am plain out of ideas after that.

I checked and rechecked with two timing pins, one in flywheel and one in camshaft...pretty sure its right now.

I will see if I can find somebody with one of these. But when I turn the engine over by hand it seems to have a lot of compression in it. Yes - you can smell it - it is unburnt fuel due to trying to start the engine. New injector harness was also fitted, plug cleaned with break and clutch...
