Im not ignoring the advice! I hear what you are saying loud and clear on FM! I wouldnt be bouncing ideas of you guys if i didnt respect your knowledge and experience with these infernal machines!
But im going through process of elimination, i think it strange how it fired up first time from a jump - maybe just coincidence? also bumps first time all the time which means its getting fuel.. another suggestion has been lack of compression - but surely it wouldnt run or would run badly? I have no idea! when i joined this forum i had just bought a HDI and had exactly 0 diesel mechanical knowledge - in a few weeks Im virtually a diesel mechanic lol! (wouldnt quite go that far but i am becoming more at one with my HDI engine)
As Poodle said i need to get the fucker on diags fo sho! I need to know EXACTLY what the issue is but Im stuck between a rock and a hard place atm tho as my laptop is out for repair and the only person near me that has PP and it doesnt work right
all garages are wanting 40+ just to hook it up, im willing to spend another 150 on the engine then it becomes financially un-viable and will have to look at buying another which i REALLY dont want to do as i am growing to enjoy this car! and there is a certain sense of satisfaction that goes with sorting your own engine out!
Ill get there eventually then you can all take the piss at the next meet!
