help 300 tdi disco cutting out M.O.T on tuesday

<< < (2/2)

TEMPER593:
My guess is you have air in the fuel lines. If the fuel lines are corroded you might have a tiny hole in it.
That would be enough to make it run badly.

hi temp
 will check pipes in the morning , just out of interest is it possible to change the metal pipes for plastic one or at least some of them,if so anyone got a rough idea of what pipe type and cost ?

Hi mate.

Not sure on the plastic might be a [!Expletive Deleted!] to find and its not as hard wearing as the copper pipe we use.

If it was me i'd rip the lot out and start a fresh using ur old stuff as a template.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers TEMP

That isn't terribly helpful! Mine has some but it isn't structural so I'm not especially worried.
