Update from stumped jeeper
Still no speedo, tacho or cruise. Too dark to check under the car tonight. Checking the crank & vss sensors 2moz
Checked all the earths, ecm, batt connections i could get too under bonnet. Started her up and now have other symptoms. On start up, i have a clanking sound from engine, sounds as though a cylinder isn't quite firing (New glow plugs fitted several weeks ago) But as soon as all cylinders fire up, she runs smoothly but the check engine light has come on. Also, before it fired, it turned over freely but didnt start. Checked out what I could see on fuel system. All seemed ok. Gave the plunger on top of fuel filter a few plunges and it started up first time, still with an initial clank. Now will the clanking sound come from not enough fuel in one of the cylinders? Just before I finished for the night, I noticed I have a hole appear in one of my pipes. It is the rubber pipe that comes from the banjo connection on cylinder head near the EGR elbow and goes to the banjo connection on top of the fuel pump. Anyone shed any light on what this pipe is or does? Does it contain fuel? Could this be where the air is getting into the fuel system? Aarrggh .... Sounds a bit like an old batman ending with all these questions.
With all your help out there in Birty land, I'm sure I can get this ole cherry of mine running right ..... eventually .... cheers all and have a good evening ... enjoy ya X-factor or Strictly Dancing ....... ha ha
