after lopping the end off my finger at the DSM ralleyin little horwood on the 14/6/09,us and my 1.9TD estate were droped home by RAC relay, and thats were she has sat untouched untill yesterday when i decided to see if she would start,

i thought as she had sat for nearly three weeks i would firstly pump the fuel primmer which i found to allready be solid,
so i turned on the ignition and waited till the glow plug timmer clicked off not just the lamp going out,

then crancked her and she fired up instanly, wow ammazing

regards malcolm

My Xant TD estate often spends 5/6 months waiting for me from France, and always starts on the button. Fitted a battery disconector switch to stop the discharge from the suspension electrics.
