Reply With QuoteJust another angle here.. Forgetting the starter for now, does the engine turn over one full revolution by hand? If it does, I'd be trying a gentle tow/bump start. If not, it mightn't be a starter issue....

SupporterI don't mind if it is two sticks taped together, so long as it works.
Also, I dont doubt there will be a shortage of swearing.

SupporterDave made short work of it. I still couldn't get it out.
We then proceeded to light the car on fire to make it run. Gotta admit though, it worked.
So it is now running, but needs more work. So fingers crossed we can get it sorted tomorrow.
Master
SupporterSo car is now running half alright. Starts okay. Runs okay. Some issues but good enough to beat to death out bush with some light duties. Once it warms up it is pretty much fine. Cold requires about 1200 rpm for about 2 mins and then it is warm enough to hold itself at idle.
Dave has some more magic to work tomorrow and then I'm sure it will be 105% golden.
Master
SupporterWell Dave worked his magic. Got the dual batteries in and sorted. Glow plugs sorted. But! We have had the faucet pump die today, so it will run until it runs out of pressure from priming the filter and then die. So I've ordered a new one.
I got my moneys worth out of Dave. He not only replaced the starter, but intake gaskets (which he made up as we couldnt buy them), helped with some electrical gremlins and some other odds and ends. He has a fairly decent set up in the back of the disco!

credit where its due...
There was a lot of stuff done that I didnt do, just threw words at it while I was doing other stuff,
The beer was cold, the pizza, parmy ,steak and brekkies were top notch.
I know who really came out in front on the deal. I got good food, Sean just got a sort of working paj out of the deal
(and I have a feeling I'll be back up that way before long)

SubscriberGreat work Dave. Was there anything major wrong, or was it mainly just the starter and fuelling?

a whole bunch of little things.
fuel filter restriction, startermotor commutator/brushes contamintaed, some gasket issues, electrical issues, fuel pump issues, glow plug circuit U/S, battery flat
For a runaway diesel its come out very well, its down a little compression wise on #1 but nothing critical, its blow by is a little excessive, it had a wastegate that was letting off early and not reseating, the idles a little sick when its cold, the alternator doesnt appear to be charging, theres a couple of very dodgy suspsension bushes, Dodgy spare and a leaking rear.
but everything we didnt get sorted this weekend is easy DIY and doesnt need top end tooling to make the repairs achievable without having to take of more bits to get access.
