Gradual deteriation in strating this beast.
Always starts but taking longer each time.
Multiple glow plug activations don't appear to help much.
Loads of pungent bleck smoke when it eventually starts.
Starts well if left for an hour or so but after a few hours its bad again.
Gave it a service - fuel/ air/ oil filter and oil replacement - not much improvement if any. Noticed that the old fuel filter was very warm on removal - normal ? Service and Forte deisel treatment didn't reduce the smoke but at least it wasn't as black !!
Thought I'd have a check of the glow plugs but where to start ? Does anyone have a manual I can download ?
I read the thrad on fuel rerturn pipes with possible cracks - maybe I'll try replacing them (anything to look out for in this operation ?).
New to the forum - what a great idea.
Thanks in advance for ANY information.
