Re: Dead Diesel

Can't get mole grips in, will try and get the other one instead, I don't have a multi-meter, but I did turn ignition on and take the wire off and put back on, it did click so am hoping it's ok. Will get some new plugs in it tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks for everyone's help and advice thus fa...

Re: Dead Diesel

I have removed the fuel lines, havent tried to remove the one under the pump yet, struggling with the one nearest the back of the van, nearest the pully's, it's rounded off.

Re: Dead Diesel

After taking 2 plugs our neither of which got warm when I tested them, thought Id change them all, I think the new fuel filter will help if and when I do get it started, as the old one was packed with crap.
Just don't know how to get this pesky plug out.

Re: 1.6jx glowplugs

At least you managed to get yours out mate, I have the back 2 out but am struggling to get the one closest to the back out, it has rounded off and I don't know what magic to envoke to release it....as for the one hidden behind the pump well not looked at that one yet.

Re: Dead Diesel

Well, I checked that each one was getting a power feed, but didn't take each one out, do I have to remove the pump to do that??
