You could sell it and get a decent motor with a dynamo. All this modern tech is getting too much for you. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its Leyland Trade Contract emulsion and it actually say's to thin by 10% on porous surfaces. So maybe I have thinned it a little too much. Anyway, I've given the walls a light rub-down and used a short pile roller and the result is very nice :lol: so was it the roller or the mix ratio :? :lol:

Hi, Ive emulsioned a couple of rooms recently, new plaster, thinned paint by 20%, used Leyland trade mat emulsion, and Dulux medium pile synthetic roller which says its for smooth surfaces. Every thing looked good until this morning when the sun was shining through the window. It shows that the...

no cos i assumed if theres a current to the bus-bar the plugs should also have a current but I will check tomorrow just to make sure.

the relay stays on for about 7 seconds

The glow plugs were connected (still in engine) when I checked the voltage and the relay was on. When the relay cut out the voltage dropped to zero. I removed each plug and tested on a seperate battery and they all glowed on the tip as they should

Ive just bought a ford escort van, 1999 T reg with genuine 67k diesel non-turbo. Anyway it has a bit of a starting problem. Ive checked all the glow plugs individually and all work fine. I checked the battery voltage and that was 12.5v. I then checked the voltage on the glow plug buz bar and...

Ive tried that but a lot of these sites have obscure names. For instance, "migweb", who would have looked for that site when they bought their first vauxhall !!!and by the way, anyone with a vauxhall, migweb is brilliant !!! So the search continues, :)

Ive just got a diesel mondeo and want to know if you guys or gals can point me to any web site forums that cover these engines :) Any help is much appreciated. thanks

Hi, my daughter was a passenger in a car which was involved in a nasty accident. Thankfully she and her two friends are ok, :D nothing too serious apart from severe bruising, some cuts and bumps and aches and pains. They were driving along at about 60mph when this geezer coming in the...

Im sure some one will have it off you. If they put a gallons of tainted in their tank and then fill up with good stuff I cant imagine it would do any harm apart from a little smoke ,if any, coming out of the exhaust.

you will have to empty your tank, replace your fuel filter and refill with diesel. Thats what i would do but Im no expert . I know that diesel acts as a lubricant for the fuel (injector) pump and the rubber seals in it dont like petrol so you need to get diesel bask into it asap :wink:

Well done mate, but give us a clue as to how you solved it !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey, thanks for the response. The car does not have ABS but it does have rear brake drums, when the engine is not running the pedal feels ok, but when it is and the servo has kicked in, thats when the pedal travel problem occurs.

Well Ive used the 75/90. I have asked the same question on several engine related sites and the general aswer is, it will be fine :D
