Have you changed the fuel

Have you changed the fuel filter recently. Do the hoses going to / from the filter 'puls' when the engine is running?

Any veiws expresed in this thread by me are purely from my own experience, and (sometimes) falible memory. Hope my comments help, but please don't take them as gospel.

certainly sounds like a fuel

certainly sounds like a fuel problem, give the filter a good once over it wont do any harm to change it anyway.

just take it off, and replace. give the engine time when your turning it over for it to start, as it needs to replace the air in the new filter with diesel.

it should start up after 6-7 cranks.

just took air filter off and

just took air filter off and found oilly deposit in air filter any suggestions going to change air filter

sounds like theres just lots

sounds like theres just lots of crap in the filter system. i would recommend ripping the entire air filter system out and replacing with some kind of cone filter/k&n/pipercross but only if you dont go offroading much.

when you change the filter have a good look inside the pipework associated and give it a damn good clean out, even if it means taking it all apart.
