No its BRAPPPPPPP Cone bruv. Yeh I thought so, I did a bit of digging but wanted to make sure. The cone aint as bad as the Lexus lights on the back . I have a few questions to ask. And ones to follow once the initial one is answered.
It is a pain to start, I killed my battery off as it would turn over then slow down, sound like the battery was flatt, and then the turn over sped up and then boom it started. This lasted a week and then it just stop turning over, so i got my self a battery from the scrappy and it started a bit easier. However it would still take ruffly 5-10 to start on turn over and is a lumpy start ( like its running on 3 cylinders, until you put some revs through it and it clears) but it also clears with alot of white/blueish smoke out the back. But it drives fine when its going. And then if i leave it for a few hours, it will turn over almost straight away. So seems like first cold start. Could this be glow plugs. I imagen this car hasn't had much care, its pissing oil from rocker and sump. So a few repairs to do this weekend but I just want to make sure its worth spending the doller on it.

Cos, you're right, that's definitely not a NAD.
And yes sounds like a glow plug issue...
I picked it up without the log book, Only the green slip which I took to dvla northampton when i had to tax it, and changed the details to me, but had a letter asking me to provide the chassis number. But had a bad accident at Christmas and haven't driven since so only just sent it back to them.
Ok, so when Im looking for parts for it I should be looking for a 1.9 Turbo diesel XUD?

Well auto trader lists the NAD as insurance group 4 and the XUD as 5.. so I doubt much in it
Ok so list of things to do this weekend.
Service;
plugs
oilfilter
fuel filter
oil
Replace Rocker and Sump Gasket's.
Replace Sweeeeeeeekkkkyyyyy drive belt.
That is about it. Apart from a knock I get when I accelerate and then let it coast slowly and then put my foot down, I get a little clunk sounds like it coming from under my feet area.????
Should I come stuck with these things I am doing. Any problems people have had or little tricks to help>???
Just realised this is in the XU petrol section, Admin please move to XUD section if possible cheers
Ok cheers. As you can see from the picture, the bay is filthily! and the engine has been leaking oil for ages and its all down the back of the engine. And I really want to get it off before I do the repairs. I know jet washing the engine isnt a great idea, but someone said its isnt so bad on a diesel engine.. Im not sure. Whats the best method and best product?
Just dont spray water into the engine and it should be fine. Theres not much down the back anyway. Would of thought youd need a really good degreaser and a strong jet wash or some elbow grease.
Just to add to this thread. if the glow plugs dont resolve the starting issue it will be air getting into the fuel line somewhere. i had a simular issur with my old XUD want it back
