Re: Diesel Smoke

Probably a very silly question . But what is a vortex breather and where abouts on the engine is it .

Re: Diesel will not start

problem solved . It was a combunation of an injector not working properly and then causing the pump to work harder , then injector failing and pump failing . Not cheap but done and running like a dream .
Also did filter changes at the same time as it was in bits .

Poor starting .

Has anybody had problems with the 3.0d and poor starting . Over the last couple of day's it dose'nt start within the first touch you now have to hold the key in the fully turned position for 3 or 4 seconds where as before it would start at the first touch .

Any ideas .
