Wonder if there is a diesel leak (leak off pipes being most likely), and it needs bleeding every time?

What condition are bleed-offs in?

Where abouts are you (worth putting in your profile :y)

engine turning over to fast usually means no diesel being injected, as said before leak off pipes first , has it got more than 20 litres in the tank? if not then intank pump could be dead!!

Just as a quick aside, when my HG went it massively overpressurised the water system and ran on 5 cylinders, never failled to start.

Clutching at straws/shooting in the dark but could it be the diesel pump?

Ended up doing my head gasket myself and it was nowhere near as big a job as I was expecting (In fact' if you see my thread you'll see that due to a faulty first headgasket I actually ended up doing it twice, what fun >:( >:()

Is there white smoke coming from the exhaust if so unburnt fuel probably HG has gone.
Whens the last time the glowplugs were replaced, faulty plugs can lead to the engine runing faster as its trying to start and will start after some time of turning over.
no smoke fuel pump faulty.
Have you done the paper-clip test. code 82 could be  there. :y

All sorted (nearly)....

Fusable link in the glow plug relay had blown. Replacement ordered. Other than needing a good service it runs like a dream now.

Hi, I would like to thank all of you for your help but especially Lee who took the time to come over and help me out, can't thank him enough, as would have been house bound without his expertise, and the parts only cost 48p
I have his number secured in my phone just incase
Thanks again Lee
Really appreciate what you did for me  :D
