Starting issue (PP2000 video) * NOW FIXED
#22
Resurrecting this thread as the starting issue has come back with the cold weather.

Since the above;
  • Good R70 pump installed
  • Good starter installed off later HDI
  • Earths cleaned and recrimped leads
  • Good LP pump installed off my hatchback
  • Checked power to glow plugs and removed and check plugs

The car has been running fine since the weather was warmer but now it takes a few turns for it to start.

The LP pump sometimes doesn't prime on the first time but I always keep an ear out for it and turn off and try again. It always primes on the second attempt.

The car did brake down in June, that was down to the brown relay, luckily I had a spare on me so that was changed there and then. But it still doesn't prime every time. I'm not sure if the two issues are linked but I thought I'd bring it up in case they are.

Over the weekend I checked power to the plugs and it seems good.

Today I took out a plug out, clamped it to the block and powered it up from the ignition via the glow plug relay and it powered up fine, glowed red to the tip.

What else could I check? I'm really starting to think that the issue might be low compression in the cylinders.

Little video of a glow plug clamped.
