Oh great and wise HDI Gurus...

Yeah im trying to find somewhere that has PP that i can use, all the small garages round me have some other bs that may or may not read the pug and they all want 40+ quid

So one garage suggested it may be 2 separate issues, one may be diesel blowback (or something, basically air getting into the system) for the starting issue and something else for the cutting out so that leads me to stuff that i have changed which would be the fuel filter, could the seal have gone on the filter housing maybe?

Also my crank pulley is absolutely knackered, im replacing this weekend - would that cause any issues??

Also could the start up issue be down to a lazy starter motor?
