LOL reading this thread has made me wonder just how many people the diesel magic trick has helped? i first discovered it by accident but it has cured so many tractors and rangerovers and BMWS now ive couldnt even begin to guess!!!!! and it all came about cos vauxhall wanted a fortune to change the injector pump!!!! of course me being me had to find a way of sorting it meself, wonder how much money they have made out of poor running tractors !!! :y
Have done it once a couple of weeks ago to try to cure misfire (only when cold) but has had no effect, believe I have a dribbling injector

possible but diesel magic should have improved it if it was? would have thought that stuck egr or poor quality fuel was more likely ifits only when cold?? :y
Usually Sainsburys but on occasions gets BP or Tescos - no difference

Am assuming its not a glowplug gone down
ok try this then, remove the back cover today, then in the morning when its cold start it and as its missfiring put a finger on each injector pipe in turn, you will feel them pulsing as the engine runs the weak one will not have as strong a pulse through the metal pipe,  its amazing just how much of a difference there will be, if one is definetly weaker then obviously change that one!! assuming again there isnt a leak at the other end where the pipes screw into the injection pump!! there is a seal there that can weep! :y

Cheers Omegatoy,

Markseth's latest tractor is coming in next week for the full monty plus MoT.

So if Diesel Magic's good enough for you, we'll use his tractor as the guineau pig!
If I'm happy with the result, then mine'll be getting a drink at every 2.5K oil-change too.

There's been some debate in the recent past regarding diesel fuel quality - mine runs miles better on 'proper' juice, and definately less emissions. I avoid the 'supermarket-type' cut-price stuff, and I'm certainly not the only tractor-owner to confirm this.

easiest way to tell about supermarket fuel is run the car for 2 tankfuls and check how many miles it does, then run it 2 tankfuls on good stuff and see the difference this assumes same route travelling to work etc etc but the difference is there!! in the waynthe car performs as well as economy!!! hope the service goes well bud!!!! :y
