Getting well narked now.
lurch_917:

Banjo:
Try removing starter motor , strip it down and wash it out with petrol,dry it well a spot of oil and job done.should cure slow starting.
Range Rover Blues:
You're not the only one having battery issues. I bought a big Varta one for the LSE and if I leave it a week it's dead, completley dead, won't even work the central locking.
I reckon it's the cold.
muddyjames:
the hop rail??? :huh:
Well, I went out this morning and after alot of turning over and pumping the loud pedal it did fire into life, however, it did it's narrow boat impression of running at 250 rpm and wanting to stall. I couldn't be bothered with putting it in low box until the engine was warm (only way to not let it stall) so I took the other car (yes the one with exhaust issues :twisted:)
muddyjames:
ok here goes.
alternator at the battery is giving out 14.04 volts.
I think though I may have a ureeka moment looming. I have looked today and there is an air bubble in the inline fuel filter. I took off 1 end, held it up and gentle squeezed my priming bulb and the bubble wouldnt come out. hey ho. any ideas?
The priming bulb when running sucks in and is a fairly tight spot for fuel to flow through. Should this do this?
At this point I thought what have I got to loose. lets blow the line from the back of the bulb to the tank through. So stuck the back end into a clear bottle and put my air compressor (ciggy lighter jobby) on the hose and turned it on. all seemed ok coming out. Put hose back onto tank and at this point it took 6.5psi to start blowing the fuel back then it went back to 0psi. So I think there may have been a small bit of crud stuck in the tank pipe. It does narrow alot where the pipe comes out of the tank and into my fuel line. Once I did this it ticked over alot better and on a test run it showed no signs of stalling or struggling to pull away. fingers crossed then!
BUT there is alot of diesel around the bit that comes out the tank . Dont know why. Maybe I didnt have the air vent open enough on the cap and made a vacuum? Dunno. I have tightened the jubilee clip up alot tighter now though incase it was being forced backwards every time I turned the engine off.
does diesel make a boot flor rust faster?
