[bobbee]

read the bit on diesel bobs page about injector springs and other threads on no 1 injector lifter and realised i aint got an effing clue what their on about but the symptoms they describe are similar to mine. i supposedly got my injectors replaced about 3 years ago cos of smoking but i wouldnt know if they did them and seeing the thread on the egr valve (mine has been blocked) they could have just blocked the line and charged me 150 large for the privelege. got this smoking prob and lack of power. banjo filter been done,new fuel filter(3 in 6 months) new glowplugs etc etc etc. she just aint running right. tried to get a diagnostic in 6 places all say the same, only 1 wire to plug, cant do diagnostic! found blocked vacuum pipe to waste gate valve,cleared it, but moved the thread as it seemed too hard. now know i shouldnt have and i dont know any decent breakers in kent(strood) to get bits. BLEEDIN NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jimmy92 breaks them pm him

or there is a breaker in wales somewhere someone recomended the other day

but no 1 injector is often a problem too, ask terra or toolbox if they are interchangeable . if they are get one of those too.

save on postage. that will fix you up im sure


ill look for links to threads in a min

Did you check that the butterfly itself hasn't seized ... I did writew a reply about this ... I had a 1995 Mistral that had the butterfly seize wide open ... if the vacuum actuator had been blocked, then there is the possibility that the butterfly has seized in the closed position.
Take the heatshield off the top of the butterfly, disconnect the adjustable rod by taking the circlip off the butterfly end ... the butterfly should then move quite freely ... if it does not , soak it with WD40 and move it back and forth from the open to close position and back until it is free with no resistance, then connect it all back together. If the butterfly is seized, the ajustable rod obviously won't move. I had to tap the butterfly on mine with a panel pin hammer to start easing it.
I did write a reply to you previous to this one ... check for it, as there is more information on that reply.
