the 1st thing is ...............................................

have the glow plugs actually been tested/ changed?

Sometimes its the most basic, simple things, and the mechanics/ technicians/ engineers are too cought up with fault codes, technology etc to "see the wood for the trees"

It was stressful, as I know nothing about cars so have to leave it to the experts.  This is exactly why I came onto the forum to get some good, sound advice!  Nice to know that you all knew what it was and that I could relay that to the garage.

 

Really pleased with Carwise in Duffield for being so super!!

Thanks for being a star!  Really pleased with it now and really pleased that the figure paid was very close to the figure quoted by so many of you on here.

 

I shall be back with any other problems, or possible mods soon!

 

I had a little prang in it a couple of months ago.  Will get a pic and try to post on here tomorrow and see what you think about the best way to get it sorted.  It dismays me every time I look at it   If its not going to be loads to sort then I shall have it done for the summer!

Lol, the second garage I went to who suggested that I take it to Ford told me to ask for Pid... when I asked why, he said his name was Stu....  Figures!!
