ok so the latest in my shed saga is.....
... took it to a diesel mechanic today of 20+years experience of diesel rail injection systems, plus his mate and another....
Him and his mate both concurred it was the HP pump that was knacked by filings coming from the knacked lift pump and suggested i swap the HP pump and the injectors too as the injectors would be knacked then they said for the amount i was paying i may as well buy a new engine as i could get one for £150..........
....then another guy turns up (so there are 4 of us crowding round my pug engine scratching heads etc - was quite comical) straight away said its a knackered injector as him and his mate both had the same issue with a berlingo and another pug (all similar engines) and we should do a leak off test, which we did there and then and guess what!? i have a knackered injector - so my question this time is should i replace all 4 injectors or can i replace just 1??
Also my back axle is stuffed, when i say stuffed i mean the offside rear wheel has a major lean inwards - another mechanic mate said it may be the stub axle or stub axle bolt thats bent?
