Lumpy starting

Post by pistonbroke » Wed Aug 17, 2011 7:50 am

Just an update to my previous posts. Have (finally) got round to replacing the glowplugs and all is now well. Starts with a touch of the key and runs like a sewing machine. Avid readers might recall that I had a lumpy,chuggy starting problem although, after only 10-15 seconds running, it settled down and ran smoothly. There were suggestions that it might be a fuelling issue (I run on bio-fuel). Mister Munkey (who runs his on Chateau Lafitte Rothschild premium diesel) might try new glowplugs. Hope it works. Thanks for the earlier replies/advice, particularly John and Miss Fixit. On the ball, as ever.
