#5: Re: Hdi starting problem Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:12 am ---- yeah but is so weird thats a one of but still wasnt fun really, thought was stuck there usually its fine.

#7: Re: Hdi starting problem Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:20 am ---- If you say you had to wait for the glow plug light, that would also mean that you are giving the fuel pump more time. Try checking the diesel filter and bleeding the fuel system as well.
#8: Re: Hdi starting problem Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:43 am ---- the filter wasnt changed not long ago either about 8k miles, seems ok for now , never guna go to sainsburys for fuel again lol.
Werid because obvs got same fuel in now seems alrit for now.
#9: Re: Hdi starting problem Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:44 am ---- Why?
Nothing wrong with Sainsburys fuel, they buy it from oil companies. It's either Shell or Texaco, can't remember which
#10: Re: Hdi starting problem Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:45 am ---- yeah i know its probably not that, got it before was ok all s fuels all same from different places long as its not petrol that would f**k it up.
Just cant explain why it did it epscially just that once.
Newish battery and filter changed not long ago duno what else ?
#11: Re: Hdi starting problem Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:49 am ---- Infact its BP fuel, just looked at their accounts.
Check the voltage on the battery and the alternator output.
Probably just one of them things
#12: Re: Hdi starting problem Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:50 am ---- Ok cheers
isnt is just odd it happened only that time, wouldnt it be the same all time though ??
