Hi, since replacing inlet manifold, clutch and dmf and a few other bits have still been getting a rough sounding engine until warm. Spoke to parkinson's diesel tech in newark who said it's likely to be a glow plug rather than injector and the car running rough with a cold cylinder until it...

Hi Guys, I'm planning to give my car a bit of TLC and swap the glow plugs out while I'm at it, since it's done 65K and I've no idea if they have ever been done. But I'm having a nightmare trying to figure out which glow plugs to order - from what I can tell WIS says that the Z19DTR (which I...

Just picked up the above suffering from a couple of minor faults. It was the right price because the power steering pipe had done it's usual trick of rusting through and spraying PAS fluid everywhere. That isn't a problem, the new one arrived in the post this morning and I've changed them on a...

Hi everyone, a few separate questions here: 1. I have blanked off the EGR and I'm getting the engine light come on, which I was expecting. I know that I can get rid of it by drilling a hole in the blanking plate, although I would prefer not to if there was maybe another way, like...
