[quote="sonic909"]Does it start/run/drive Phil?
I've got it running on Thursday. And curiously it seems to be improving. It has a "manual fuel primer pump" (squeezy rubber thing). In the light of day, I found this and realised it squeezed like it was full of air, not fuel. So I tried to use it to pump fuel through and eventually it filled and the car started.
The idle is still a bit lumpy though and I can't help feeling that diesel is either landing on a hot thing or there's an exhaust blow under the bonnet (which I can't see). And then there's the question of why there was air in the low-pressure fuel system.
Allegedly the injector seals are a problem on this engine but look like a pig to replace. That wouldn't explain the air though. Going to see if it keeps going for now and maybe cycle into work more.
