Hi all

my father in law has a 2.1 td and it will not start it had a fuel filter changed a month ago and was running fine he has done about 1000 miles since then and there is fuel in the pipes i messed about with the immobiliser putting it in service mode and the car started last night but wouldnt start this morning however i wasnt there this morning. but not sure if that was because of what i did or if it was just a fluke has anyone any ideas of common issues on these cars that stop them starting.

But remember it's a long way around the engine...

be very careful with the easystart as the engine can become reliant on it and youll need it every time you start it

My Puglet had a funny moment this afternoon, she wouldn't start. I had been driving about a while and the engine was hot, so I squeezed the bulb a couple of times and she fired up, I'll keep you posted. (think she's in a funny mood).
