Wednesday morning The Merc suddenly coughed and died, got it into the side of the road and she took alot of cranking before she fired up again. As she was due a service I took her in to the local National Tyres where they did the service and she was fine for the rest of the day and evening...

Yesterday morning when I went to start, she spluttered, died and I couldn't get her going again. She was leaking diesel and all the pipes on the injector pump had air in them...

After a quick peruse of the Merc forums last night, it seems that it's a common problem with the C250td and usually a set of new pipes and various seals and O rings will do the trick!

Merc dealer didn't have them in stock, but hopefully will get them for tomorrow.
The problem is that I'm not at home so I havn't got The Mig to fall back on so it's a couple of buses and a train ride to the stealers!!! Bah!!

Luckily I've got most of the tools I need for the job!

Fingers crossed that it'll solve the problem!!
