Jaime. I am sending you a full set of new glow plugs with laidback. A little something for that knackered gearbox - feel i owe you one.

Also, I am digging out my pics of the vacuum pipes. From memory you just have the big servo pie down the middle of the block then one spur off to the right and the one to the front of the engine. I will find the pics.

Sorry to hear you are still having problems, it sounds as if you are nearly there. As far as testing the glowplugs, from what you say its a pain to get to them to check them. Is it not possible to check them from elsewhere, where the drive signal is derived from ?. Where do the glowplugs get their volts from?, is it a common line?. A bit long winded, but if you could get access to the wires that feed them, you could use a clipon ammeter to check if each is drawing current, which might save a lot of dismantling. best of luck. Thumbs Up!

I used to be indecisive; now I'm not so sure...

RonaldMcBurger Ex Member	Re: Project Tractor engine swap Reply #68 - 19. Aug 2007 at 22:00 Glowplugs are best accessed by removing the inlet manifold. 12 13mm nuts. Supply is common wire and the plugs themselves are very easy to change. As I am sending a set anyway, i would leave alone until they arrive with dave.

Easier to get to plugs than the loom that sits just below the plugs! Bloody BMW.

Ronnie, I have the plugs from old engine, which I will change over if others think thats the problem. Really just looking for ideas on the poor running at the moment.

Jamie tell me to shut up if you like but. Are you 100% sure theres no air in the system, was it bled from the pump first then the injectors also is the fuel stop valve stuck half way..I am not familier with the BMW td fuel pump but i was a diesel fitter for 11 years and have had the same problems, especially with lots of smoke being pumped out i think i read earlier..

No, I haven't.

Under impression, these were self bleeding - I was expecting air in, but before on old engine, this was cleared fairly quickly. No obvious bleed near pump or injectors?

I take it is a rotory pump if so slacken off 2 injector pipes on pump just to get air out of pump then 2 on injectors while turning over. you might get air out of it with hand pump if fitted..Always works for me on diesel engines..Does it have a fuel solenoid if so make sure power is going there or give it a light thump with spanner.. Of course as i said im not used to these engines and things have come a long way since i played with things. ECU controlled nightmares.. Thumbs Up!
