Re: Unusual Starting problem.

The voltage at the glow plugs is ok they are 11V rated, you could be correct about the ETC sensor it might just need the connections on the sensor and the extension cleaned. good luck.

Re: Over heating enquiry

OK, I've managed to borrow a compression testing kit, I'll do that and post the readings. I'm also tempted to get a digital temp reader to get a better idea of the engine temperature instead of just the 'mod' temp gauge. Could I ask, what is the compression kit, and how to use it ? Hi, it is my die...
