    Wouldn't have been a full runaway. They end in tears and lots of smoke. I still have a full TD5 engine to pull down and work out what internal damage was done when it ate all the oil and coolant on the freeway.
    Bonet lining was just starting to burn by the time I managed to get out and pop the hood.

    Looks good to me. Have you undone those 4 big gold coloured nuts yet, then cranked the engine (with IP wire connected) until fuel comes out all 4???

    I had done it prior to removing and replacing the lift pump. I just did again and yes fuel is being squirted out of them in a "timed" fasion. I then put them back and tried starting.....again.

    It fired and on the second try started. It ran for about 10 secs (real time) I just let it idle. It was a bit rough and seemed to start to smooth out a bit before shuting down.

    very hard to tell, but I want to believe I didnt hear anything real bad or clunky like

    It wont start again....

    I rang a diesel injection place recommended to me. They said the can test the injectors, free of charge? $320 to check the Bosch Injection pump. They want $5 PER copper washer for each injector

    what are the thoughts on this? And Im assuming $320 for th IP is for me to remove it and take to them.

    Correct. That sounds ballpark for a bench test, unfortunately .

    $320 is fine as long as it is fair. I dont have buckets of money, but expect to pay what is resonable for a GOOD quality job.

    read the field method of injection testing I put in above, if they pass on that they will do for what you need for now.

    That cranking speed from the vid looks a little slow for my liking but not so slow that it wont start.

    roughly your cranking speed is 210RPM (7 operations of the #1 valve in 4 seconds(ish) 7*2 (crank rotates at 2X cam speed) /4= about 3.5 cranks per second 3.5*60=210RPM...

    Ideally you want 350ish+

    If this was me, I'd be tow-starting it until it fires or dies. Batteries can only do so much.

    But I do get a little draconian at times. Machinery is there to serve me dammit.
