Presumably all the cans you have collected are dented from 'educating' the previous owners

No, they have remnants of poo on them from where they were inserted.

I should add that I now use the multitude of cans of easistart which I have gathered for cleaning brakes with, very good solvent if a little wiffy

Everything has a use , even easistart

Jeez, I knew it was bad but not that bad.
As far as I know it was only the once that it was used but that siad it could well have done some damage.
So far that garage has not picked the car up for diagnosis, I'm wondering if they might realise they could have fooked the engine???!!!

They might if they've read this

I use a hair dryer into the intake of my renault traffic diesel van if i have a problem....blast it into the air intake and then get someone to turn the key....does the trick every time....

no need for me to say much then! pretty well covered so far,
only thing i ever use to prove a fuel problem is wd 40,engine will fire on it,and it dont do as mch damage as ether!

Well, I'm flying out to work tomorrow afternoon so will be calling the local garage first thing to see what they intend to do, that's been a week since I asked them to take it in!
I just hope it's nothing serious.

Had an email from the garage saying they need to take cylinder head off to have a look so it must be fairly serious, do you think I have a leg to stand on asking them to rectify this fault at their cost?
As far as I know there were no running problems prior to the non starting that morning but I have to get that info from youngest son who had been driving it before I start casting aspersions around!

[bootie]

Following on from the above post, I found out that youngest son had used the ezy start twice since the initial dose, first time the car started and ran well, second time the same but the third time (before I got there) it refused to start so he left it.....
I have asked the garage if they had done diagnostics or a paperclip test to check out the possible injector and or fuel pump faults (it would show those wouldn't it?) and whether they had done a sniff test to determine the possible head gasket failure.
I'm mystified about this as a failing head gasket would be apparent for a while yes? likewise a failing fuel pump? I understand an injector can just fail but again would there not be some symptoms of it starting to fail or can they just stop working?
I need some diesel advice fellas please??
