Yea I know what you mean, just been talking to a whole bunch of people at Chiswick Honda about it and they seem to think it isn't normal. I think Chiswick Honda just want to make some cash off me as they keep saying it needs to be booked in for a diagnostic even though I do that anyway!! I...

Hey Guys, thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate all the info. To update you: When I had the runaway engine I was on Wood Lane close to Shepards Bush West London a very busy road! I literally pulled the key out and the whole street was covered in smoke you couldent see infront of you...

Hello everyone, I have a whole list of issues with my Diesel ES-GT. ISSUES: DPF completely blocked, I can't force regen with HDS Raw fish left on my back seat by my neighbour over night has left my car permanantly smelling of fish! :wacko: I had a runaway engine, whe scarest moment of my life...

I have coded the injectors, but am still having issues with the power and running of the engine It sounds like there is a hiss when accelerating, the system is not in limp mode its like a cylinder is low compression, should that flag a DTC? I am having a huge amount of white smoke on start as...

I have no Idea what it could be currently I am planning on recutting the injector seats again, do you think it could be burning oil?

Hi, I have all the problems listed above, I know the injector seal has gone because of the tractor racket, I am re seating tomorrow. I may be loosing compression out of there too. If I am losing compression where is the white smoke coming from? I need help with this!

Got the car started but its that annoying tractor sound.

Hi, I cant get the car started. Fuel pressure reads 24BAR on crank, there are no leaks using 4 reconditioned injectors, no HDS DTC, no leaks, what do I do? New fuel filter replaced and primed till solid, primed after each crank. Glow plugs are all glowing on crank. Have tried Easy start...

Yes that nut was not leaking I was mistaken, It was the fuel pipe to injector 2 that was previously removed.I did prime the system after injector fit, but still no start. Do these fuel pumps fail?

Cheers for the advise!

Tried the spray no use, I thought there was a slight leak under then nut of the pressure rail as you said, is it worth just tightening it up to see? Also the hand pump fuel primer gets soft after I crank the engine is that normal. I am wondering if there is air getting in as well. I replaced...

Take the wheel hub off, then drill it out, its only plastic so shouldent take a second. Make sure you take the hub off or you may drill in to the hub and damage the magnetic encoder that relays speed to the ABS sensor. I done mine last week. Hope this helps

The common rail is not leaking, neither is the fuel pump, my test equipment shows during crank im getting 2410KPa or 24.1BAR I do not know why there is a low pressure, any ideas? I have corrected the injector leak so there is no fuel leaving the system now. Any ideas? Kindest Regards

Hi there, I have finally refitted my injectors and torqued them correctly. I have a new issue. The engine will not start, there is fuel building at the rocker, and the glow plugs are fine (I have taken them out and cranked to see the glow) I am unsure as to how this injector is leaking but I...

No problem offer stands if you require it. It costs about £20 in parts, and you can give me what you like when you get it back. I can get it done the day I receive it, and get it back sent out by my hermes for £4.30. Cheers.
