  17. What happens now is that the engine will fire & run lumpy for 2-3 seconds then cuts out - depressing the throttle makes no difference Have you recently changed the batteries in your remote key,,,,,,,,sounds like you have a missing chip in the key for the imobiliser or the imobiliser is faulty,,,,,,,,,do you have a spare key try that It has been starting straight away every morning without any problems until last week ... first sign I had of any problem was when it took a little longer to actually start so I changed the glow plugs - did not make any difference - once it started it was fine for the rest of the day & runs very smoothly Though I still think you should check the live feed to the glow plugs
  18. Check there is a live feed to the glow plugs
  19. Hi guys and gals,,,,,,got a bad idling 2.3,,,,,I checked and cleaned the ISV,,,,,checked then replaced the spark plugs,,,,,,,I am now doing a ohms test on the coils and leads for resistance,,,,,,lead 1 is 5.85,,,,,,,lead 2 is 2.35,,,,,,,,,,,I tried to test the coils,,,,,I assumed + of the meter on the + for the coil low input and - of the meter on the high output of the coil but it returns nothing,,even if there was no resistance it would still show 0.00,,,,,,but it shows a blank screen on the meter,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,all the above was done on a warm engine Any ideas of what I am doing wrong,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cheers

  21. I am not a diesel owner,,,,but all diesels chuck out smoke when the pedal is hard on the floor,,,,,, what colour is the smoke grey is oil black is the diesel doing its job I believe white is unburned fuel you will get tons of smoke on start up as the engine burns the oil that has passed the oil seal,,,and it would be more grey than black
