I'll never look at Frozen in the same way again: <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/briangalindo/the-unnecessarily-censored-version-of-disneys-frozen-is-hila#.ueLQQE1NK" rel='nofollow external'...

Joanna Bairstow and anyone else who might be driving around or through Mottram tonight - Ashworth Lane is closed and the traffic around Mottram Moor and the M67 is a nightmare.

Funniest movie review I've ever seen: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvwMtWkfkJ8" rel='nofollow external' class="su_links">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvwMtWkfkJ8</a>

Woohoo, all faults gone (for the moment at least). They replaced all 4 glow plugs which came out looking very black. Thanks everyone for your help and advice. :)

No worries and thanks. I hope I didn't come across arsey, I wasn't trying to be.

I wasn't aware of that difference in the definition, thanks :)

By exploding temperature I mean the ignition point, i.e. the temperature at which diesel ignites. From what I understand, when diesel heats up it turns to vapour which then explodes. The diesel is sprayed onto the glowplug which heats it to this ignition point so that when the engine is cranked...

Yes I've spoken to them and they've confirmed they will. Oh right, I've learnt something new today! :) Serves me right not doing my homework about the differences between new and old diesels. :) The old diesel I had was a H plate 1.7 Vauxhall Cavalier and I knew some things about it so I thought...

Yeah I realised they explode due to compression which is why the glow plugs are only needed when the vehicle is first started, but I thought that without glow plugs had to heat the diesel to close to exploding temperature the engine wouldn't start. A few years back I had an older non turbo...

Really? I didn't know that. I thought the glow plugs needed to heat the diesel up before it would explode? Will cranking the engine create enough pressure in the diesel to heat it up and make it explode?

Thanks, that's great :) Found the correct ones now

Thanks for both of your replies. I should have said I've driven the car home since the garage couldn't work on it any further today and they'd completed the relief valve which I'd booked the car in for. Since the car starts fine I'm ***uming that it can't be a problem with all of the glow plugs...

Hi everyone, just thought I'd update you all since I've now had the relief valve replaced. The 2 original errors have gone (woohoo, thanks for the advice on the relief valve) but I'm now getting a P1384 Glow Plug Circuit Malfunction error which from reading on this site and on Civinfo is caused...

Stu, Stuart, Thomas do you agree with this list. Some big names are missing :) <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30659520" rel='nofollow external' class="su_links">http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30659520</a>

Happy new year to all my friends and family xx
