Problems starting from cold 1.6 Diesel

Good tip...

The other tip is the one off of the glo-plug that disappeared a month ago - down the exhaust

Any thoughts as to why I had no problems before

'cos it was ummer and its nearly winter now

Glo plugs a fiddle....May have to remove No. 1 or No.2 Injector first...

Never had any probs through last 3 winters, never even used the cold starting cable. They certainly are a fiddle ... those pesky little nuts kept dropping the blighters

Managed it all in the end by just removing No1 injector and the fuel pipes. She started up after a lot of cranking while the injectors re-primed themselves. Will find out tommorow morning if problem has been solved ... fingers crossed!!

Excellent

Never had any probs through last 3 winters, never even used the cold starting cable.

'cos the glo-plugs were OK then? Gotta limited life... and maybe you found it

My hands are a bit big for that gynaecology type awkward work

When can you come and fit my plugs?
