So, guess what? A new set of glowies (on test - if only someone had done this a ruddy week ago - two at least were not working) and he fires up immediately. I can't believe neither of them had tested them :oops: Oh well at least that long list of stuff the OH hadn't got round to is now done :roll: J...

Sadly, this morning's cold start and no difference. It'll be the whole glow plug malarky next then :( Don't worry, the injectors and pump needed doing.

He was getting increasingly smokey the last year and then wouldn't start two weeks ago. We'd suspected the pump for a while...

Hi all.

Does anyone happen to know the torque settings for the exhaust - turbo manifold on a 1.6td JX engined T3. Better half is currently in the workshop swearing about the failings of his non-turbo manual

Cheers
