Given myself until end of May and if my pair of migs are not running they are going on ebay, buy one get one free :D :D :D :D
Its the last day of the month and I have finally fixed Syd, after going back and reading everything that you all have posted me in the last month, I have fiddled with everything under the bonnet, had filters on and off, fuel pump thing in the rear in and out, more diesel magic than you can imagine and gone through a box of 100, gloves, 3 jumpers & 1 coat, but Ive done it ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks guys and girls. To be honest Im not sure what sorted it, but think the second new battery helped, have done 2 oil changes on top of the glow plugs and other filters, think it just needed a good going over and lots of blasts down the A1m :D :D :D I did buy a hot fix kit but didnt need it after all.
As for my white bits I have been slowly blending them in ;) but with lots of sun tan lotion on, so not sure they will do the job on your neighbour Nick ::)
If Pete's lucky I'm going to fiddle with him next week ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I must be the only person to call the fire brigade out because I set my deep fat fryer on fire :D :D :D put it on the hob and didnt notice the ring was on, it melted from the bottom and filled house with smoke, but I did get 6 men in uniform in my kitchen ;D ;D ;D ;D

Whoohoo....don't even think about it. Just chip it :y
I chipped mine last month and got much better fuel consumption and mucho more Oomph, and that's with an existing suspected injector pump issue, which will probably be confirmed in a full diagnostic on Wednesday.
Seriously, if it's now running right and it's a manual...just do it !! :y

While in my experience the mpg is considerably better, calculate manually, as the chip causes the MID to be over optimistic

now thats impressive!!
well done Ali,
you had a lot of problems to work out , but you stuck with it and got there, lots of diesel magic it may be but it all helped to sort the problems , sincerely hope Syd now rewards you with many miles of economical motoring!!
get it chipped as said and you will enjoy the car a lot more than you do presently!!

Good stuff Ali, glad to hear it's fixed! (What did I say to you regarding the battery?)
The next 'must do' is to get it chipped.
'PM' TheBoy or Omegatoy in the first instance. Cost is around 70 quid - whoohoo!
