sorry the signature needed amending.....i dont do bio any more.... I bought the glow plugs from the motor factors....so would hope they are genuine....but i have to say its much worse than before i fitted them....seriously considering putting the old ones back in to see if its any different...

Thanks for the reply I will give that a try at the weekend with the multi meter. Yes i refitted the buzz bar along the top and gave all the connections a rub over with a wire brush before i put it back on. I am running normal (expensive) forecourt diesel.

Hi guys, just thought i would share this with you.... Last night on my travels to Leicester my truck clocked 190000 and still going strong... sorry for the poor pic

Hi guys, a quick question... Last weekend i replaced my glow plugs as my truck started to splutter a bit on cold starting, almost as if it was starting on three cylinders and was very lumpy for a good few seconds. So i bought a set of Lucas glow plugs and promptly fitted them and i have to say...

i have no idea where the hairs have come from....although i do have three dogs....:doh No i am running derv, havent run bio for a couple of years....the crap has probably been there since the truck started life...the problem is when you try to clean it you can only clean a small part of...

YUCK indeed.... Yes its running better now, but i have also replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the K&N filter and replaced the leak off pipes. I have a run down the M1 to Leicester tomorrow so i will report my findings.

Hi guys, the other day i removed and cleaned my mini filter. Today i decided to remove the filter all together, i had to drill it out, once removed look at the state of it....so when you think you have cleaned it....think again...

I am no expert by any means.....but i would also say it sounds like a fuelling issue... I have had some "stuttery" issues with mine, removed cleaned and replaced the mini filter and all seems fine... Not sure if yours has one....but that little monster causes all kinds of lack of power...

i fill up every week and i havent noticed if it was when i have filled up....it may be worth changing the fuel filter do you think....i changed it about 6 months ago if not sooner... What could be causing the lower boost pressure and how do i improve it without replacing the turbo....?

It appears i have a Bosch Maf I have only noticed the drop in boost a couple of days ago.....

Thanks for the reply Rik. I have no idea, how do i find out?

Hi guys, can anyone help please. I seem to have developed what i would describe as a bit of a misfire, i will try and explain... when i set off with low end revs i get almost like a stutter or misfire, also if i am cruising along at say 30mph and i slightly accelerate the same occurs... Any...
