Hello all,
I think our next priority for Big Car should be to get her to start without the need to squirt Easy Start in to her air inlet. Here’s some suggestions from page 125 of section 12 of this manual (click on it to zoom in):
Big Car definitely suffers from number 4 in the list above: air in the fuel system. I think this is the first thing we should try to fix. The same manual describes how to prime the diesel fuel system on page 34 of section 19. Also, here’s some more information about priming the fuel system from a thread on the LandyZone.co.uk forums.
When we find some spare time, Al and I will give this procedure a go and report back with news of our success or failure.
Take care all, Bob.

Did you get anywhere this weekend? Seems if the non-starting issue could be figured out then it might almost be MOT time!?

[...] Big Car has been sadly neglected in recent times – not out of maliciousness – but simply due to her loving owners either a) being exceptionally busy, b) getting a bit stuck or c) living miles away. However, it’s time to inject some love, so this Thursday we’re getting back on course. First thing we’ll be looking at are Bob’s suggestions. [...]
