Had my truck recovered home by an ex forum member JonnyB who now runs a recovery firm.
Started taking my truck apart and found quite how clogged my EGR system was
Also found out that I have definitely cracked my head.
Yup, that's coolant in the inlet to cylinder 2!
And while it was apart I decided I'd clean out the inlet manifold. I used Mr Muscle oven cleaner, it does a nice job and the foam expands to fill the inside of the manifold. One can did the manifold twice but I wish I'd bought 2 cans to fill it 4 times.
I'm finishing taking the head off this morning as I had to pop out for a new socket for the injectors last night. Just need the injectors out the way and I can undo the 18, 12 sided head bolts.
