Hello again Callum, I think it’s good to do homework and take advice, but there is a point at which negative publicity and even friend’s experience simply causes concern about something which just might not happen. I think it needs to be considered that bad experiences are going to be documented, when good experiences aren’t, but if you are the worrying type then you just have to go with your gut feeling, and I get the impression that you have too many bad vibes about buying a diesel for yourself. As I said earlier, Steve Y will be your man with unrivalled experience in this field, and I’m sure he will also have a whole lot of other taxi owners who’s experience can be added. Is it worth you putting a positive hat on until this experience comes through? Kind regards, Gareth.

not even worth the hassle

Hi all. I discovered a connector disengaged from the fuel metering device. When I reconnected it, the car started (hooray!) and after one initial drop in revs, idled perfectly. I repeated the procedure three times from a cold start with the same result. Looks like we're back on the road. Still doesn't explain why the car would eventually start and then run, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Thank you all for your advice and input.

I see no "yellow plastic bits" in your picture. A better photo and description might help.
