halfords have 3 types now. 2 are from the mk3 pearl blacks and 1 from a mk2
you are very lucky to even get a match from halfords lol
best to go somewhere and get them to make a test sample to match with your paintwork.
i have learnt the hard way, my roof is original pearl black and the...
yes mate :) mine has air bubbles still. not loads but only a few in the pipes. dci's are vac fed so abit of air is normal
only the dci 100's have little to no air as they have a better set up.
hi!:D
fellow dci 80 owner( with mods )
if you have a 65 , you can go about it a few ways
> remap and intercooler + custom exhaust ( decatt)
> dci 80 injectors OR 100 injectors ( possible pump change ) , intercooler + custom exhaust.
> dci 100 transplant ( bottom end built better due to 26mm...
Orions FTW
cracker of a escort veriant on ebay atm ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1982-MK3-FORD-ESCORT-L-DIAMOND-WHITE-GENUINE-16556-Miles-from-new-120-Photos-/261135863310?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3ccce90e0e
as he said above. get them to gravity feed the high pressure pump. thats your next step in finding if its fuel feed pipes related.
if it proves that theres a problem else where ( pump runs with grav feed perfectly ) i would say check the fuel sender unit in the tank. if the mesh pick up has...
Back of the engine, attached to gearbox bell housing.
You wont get it from above. So an underneeth job.
Connectors to the starter motor are easy to clean up. I would advise disconnecting the battery first lol. Iv watched so many people bring their cars upto andys as the'ye blown something by...
sorted it. altho put a new sender unit in. it didnt cure the problem.
found out the emobilizer was playing funny buggers and the led wouldnt always light up.
new key fob battery and emob reset. perfect now :D
its one of those and half of the other.
i wouldnt jump straight to it being the high pressure pump yet. yes 1.5 dci's are known for it but i dont think it would be.
in all honesty, you either need it at a proper diesel mechanics, OR get it down to mick- diamond motors on here ( trader )he...
EGR wont effect the fuel system ( it can reduce MPG) but if thats full of crap or faulty , it will make the car run like crap and harder to start.
could try cleaning that out aswell to see if it makes any difference..
i think you have a fuel pressure drop somewhere, if its force feed ( ie...
take the fuel sender unit out the tank, unclip the cup from the unit and u'll see a black mesh unit. if thats full of s**t, your dragging air instead of all fuel
what computer was this done on pal?
dci's run on a vacumm feed system.
its a expensive job if the high pressure pump goes wrong.
i'll dig the fault codes up for you. they all seem to be related to fuel pressure.
Stupid moment forgot dci's ( diesel comon rail injection ) can start without glows :o
if your fuel light is on , get the tank filled up, its possible its dragging air in to the fuel system.
Iv done it once with mine, ran it down to the fuel light, played funny buggers starting and would...
Battery could be not providing enough power for certain things such as glow plugs.
Mine plays havock in a cold morning usually, all down to the battery.
You dont have any overly load ticking noises on start up do you, and even when warm for that fact?
Fuel pressure low could be anything...
just stick a ph2 lower grill in the ph1 bumper - that is the best advice you'll get apart from people telling you not to do the other idea. for the simple reason , it. will. look. SH1T
'search' is a useful tool aswell :o
You do have a very good point. I only original thought of the defender after all the history they entail, wars and all.
The range rover beats it by miles on comfort. But for robust ( sp ) cant beat abit of old english engineering. Rivited metal! Everything on show nothing to hide. Just a...
