er...sometime ago sitting in a Pub in Southampton,
that was one of the two original thoughts Pump and Cam Sensor.
Once they have changed everything of course it should all be running fine.

It was meant as a sarcastic remark Andrew,
they do seem to be running a bit hit and miss to get it sorted,
rather than positive diagnosis of fault.

Well, it's at the third garage, at least the guy I spoke to today seems to know what he's doing. The main problem was (as he put it) "What's caused the injectors to stop working" Cure is easy, finding the cause seems to be the problem. .....

Yes did get the sarcasm :lol: Hence the reply

Well another week has gone, and she's still not home

Spoke to the garage on Thursday and was told that a Technician was working on her. Work got too hectic today so did not get the chance to call them.

So the Mechanic has finished her, now a Technician. Who next?

Andrew, sorry to hear it's not good news.

Have you asked them to check the fuel...?

Yes I did, faxed them with a whole list of things to check

They were due to check the fuel today....

Maybe if I stopped "hassling" them I'll get her back sooner. Better be soon, as I've got the silly season about to start and I'll need her carrying capacity.

Is it in the safe hands of a Diesel specialist this time?

I hope so!! I've heard good reports about Shorts of Swansea. They are auto diesel and electrical specialists. They seem to know what they are doing, at least they have progressed more than the other 2 garages.

Latest is that they have taken the ECU apart and found a blown capacitor. They are waiting for a new board to arrive to be inserted into the ECU.

Watch this space...........

What ever happened to getting a soldering iron out and actually repairing it instead of changing Boards?
