Tuesday morning 26th November 2019 - will it start ?

The three engine fuel lines were replaced today by local garage she started instantly when I picked her up but that is not really surprising as the engine was warmish.

The big test is going to be in the morning to see if she starts - there was some air visible on idle but then it might take a journey for it to all purge out.

TBH I am not that optimistic seeing as there is air in there.
 
First signs promising !

Used the Jeep WJ for the first time in over a week - she started from cold instantly on Tuesday morning (26/11/19) did about 30 miles round trip with lots of stop / starts for shopping - all seems good no extra cranking at all - just like she was.

Small amount of air is just visible (nothing like previous jet stream / plug hole whirlpool) in the fuel pipes that has reduced during the day with use - probably air in the system from new pipes etc - I hope! Never looked before so not sure if some air on idle is normal.

I will need continued good starting during December before I have confidence back - remainder of can of Easy Start in Glove Box if needed. Have Home Start Insurance cover as fall back.

Booked in for MoT on the 7th January if she passes & starting problem cured- will fit new set of tyres afterwards with a view to a couple more years use out of her. (5 yrs to date).
