is the fuel primer top of the filter getting progressively harder to push? It should be. If not air getting in somewhere.

Me to; always use Morrisons diesel, not any probs at all.

Thanks to all who replied. Got there:thumb2:thumb2, new starter started first time. turning over faster and better than ever has. left a couple days too, nothing draining battery either. Well chuffed:clap. Can get on with the business of getting her through the MOT now...

did the very same thing over a year ago now, and to the fuel supply and return pipes. All good. Pig of a job, but a necessary one at the time.:thumb2

U are right thankfully, Makeitfit! took it off yesterday(got no skin left on mi knuckles) but got it off. Bosch one, cos im told there is another make to is that right? All i gotta do now is try it on mine and see if it cures it. Prob be the weekend now as dark when got home from work...

Hi, following on from my thread "misfuelled", thought ide bring it on to this forum. My question is what is the chances of a starter motor from a 95 Mistral 2.7 diesel, fitting my truck? May have come by a mistral if can get it for the right money( got a duff lump) so will be looking to...

Thanks Mobyone, had the meter on her today as per your link, from a fully charged battery the voltage when cranking her over is down to 7 or 8 volts,(basically wouldnt start a Fiesta, never mind a Terrano). However if use a big Sealey cranking box and put a load of...

thanks Richard, unfortunately the link you sent is a dead one. Can you post it again please:thumb2 Wayne

ok wheelarch it is then. thanks for that. so does the starter motor come out from under the wheelarch then?:nenau

well finally got all the petrol out of mi T2, just kept running it and running it, in my driveway, with a piece of wood on the gas pedal not to many revs though n run it out! put fresh diesel in and all appears to be ok. not smoking. so im chuffed. Now back to the battery appearing flat even...

Thats the thing Chaster, just tried again -battery fully charged. still wont turn over with enough oomph to start the engine.Just two attempts are taking nearly two volts out of the battery?Spoke to a mate last nite whos a little more in the know, says as someone has posted to run a jump lead...

Not having any luck at all. bought meter to check firstly power in the battery after an all night charge, was reading over 13 volts. Then was going to check it when it run to see if the alternator was putting anything back into it, but didnt get that far, fully charged battery wont start the car...

Will borrow a decent meter off the spark at work and do these checks. Did think myself that the alternator was a strong contender for where the fault lies. As ive said previously, aint been entirel happy for a while now with the speed its been turning over. Not bad with the spanners but...

Not in the wrong Slot MikeP, after all the original thread was on misfuelling. Just that other problems have come along so the thread has moved a bit. Well been under the motor today, cant see a problem with either the battery clamps or the earth straps, all seem in good nick and tight. Put the...

just been out and looked at the battery, Its a Halfords Hb334, all it says on it is starting power of 740 amps. as i say bought it last year, aint given me any problems, but then they never do in good weather do they. Wayne

Thanks Zippy. if the thaw out continues, will have a look on Saturday see what the straps and clamps are like. Not to much of a problem at the moment cos she,s off the road, ( didnt time that to well did i with the recent weather)as ive already posted. but am keen to keep turning her over. Got a...

Maybe i should start a new link? having sorted the fuel problem- started her using a Sealey machine ( not sure what to call it- numbered 1 to 5 n puts instant power to the battery to crank it over). no engine damage ran fine. however having then done around 8 mile trip, wouldnt start again off...

Well, good news! wont be gettin rid of me just yet. got a much of the petrol out as i could and filled with diesel. Run her up and although a little lumpy is still good to go for a few more miles i think. as was said thank god for older diesel technology:clap:bow. Truck out of mot in a couple...

Have heard a few tales of wagon drivers in years gone by have added petrol to their derv tanks, apparently to try to stop the fuel lines waxing up, which was a regular occurence im told this time of year. So on that, n whats been said on here, hopefully ok. Am driving a Fiesta at the moment...

Thanks chaps;- thats a relief, thought it was gonna be worse than that. will get our what i can as you say and brim it with diesel(better start saving). And yes my wonderful son can contribute. Cheers Wayne
