Running again

[Rikfrontera]

YAHOO It breathes again.....It might be slow but it works!!
Bled the fuel pump and injectors but some charge in the battery then a little more with a neighbours car and eventually she fired up. 5 mile spin round. now sat battery off and getting charged.

Woohoo

[john (smifffy)]

nice one lets hope its fully cured the problem

[Sir-Doris]

Fully charge your battery at the earliest available opportunity. Other then that, Good Luck with the old girl!

[Rikfrontera]

Thats the plan tonight, she had a charge earlier today before nipping out, started fine every time..... possibly better than before the breakage.
I know..well my dad knows guy who used to be a mechanic for Vauxhall but has since set up on his own in mansfield, gonna get him to have a good look over it and replace pipes and hoses to see if can get to the bottom of my previous fault... under power and sluggishness.(damaged/old intercooler pipes etc)

[Rikfrontera]

One thing I have noticed but not solved is now when I start her she starts fine after glowplug light goes out but then the glow plug light flashes on an off for a short time.. Why would that be?
Might go ahead and fit new plugs at the same time as the new pipe work anyway

any clues please..
