Hi guys thanks for both your replies. Sheltie, about the glow plugs, they were changed about 18 months ago, the engine always starts (started) on the first turn as soon as the heater indication on the dash goes out? Ps. when the tank pump failed, a local mechanic put a check valve on the fuel line after the filter, I didnt know any better and it did work? David, I take your point about manuals, ( and consider myself well told off ;o) I already have the Range Rover workshop manual. Its ok for instruction, but there is no troubleshooting/ diagnosis stuff in it at all? I tried to download the Rave manual but it seemed like a huge file and my computer gave up? I suppose stuff i was looking for was, I rigged up a temp fuel supply to the fuel line on the engine side of the filter/heater. Engine didnt start, then I wondered what pressure would the fuel normally be at, at this stage? Any hints/tips on testing any of the vital components without simply replacing them? Anyway thanks again for your replies,

Hi all, wondering if anyone could help with this?? I 'm trying to figure out the fuel system of a 1998 P38 with 2.5 BMW diesel engine. I know the in-tank pump has not worked for some time, so I cant let fuel in tank drop below about a quarter full. Suddenly the engine wont start. My ques, what is the purpose of the black plastic assembly that the fuel filter screws into? I know it houses the pipe connections, but wires also?? Does the engine now only use the fuel injector pump to get fuel from tank to engine? Is it difficult to fit a new sender pump inthe tank? If anyone has any info I would really appreciate it? Thanks. Ben

Hi all! First time to post, though I did read a lot of great gen from this forum before changing the EAS to springs on my '98 2.5 DSE!! (Be very happy to pass on any info on that job) Trying to solve two little problems now. 1. The auto function on my drivers window doesnt work. It says 'Window Not Set' It wont reset in the normal way, and when I close the window it rattles quite noisely when it gets to the top? 2. Got new tires, the shop said they did balancing and tracking, but its still pulling to the left. I read some things about bushes on this forum, what are they? Thanks, Ben
