  1. As with all coolant systems any air in the system is going to go/end up in the highest pipe or hose. So looking at your engine which is same as mine, the highest pipe and hose is the one between thermostat and radiator. So pick the short hose at rear of engine on this line, slacken one clip off and slip back the clip off the hose. Then with a blunt small screwdriver or knitting needle, prize it under the hose till it reaches the coolant void. After air hisses out and coolant seeps out refit the clip and secure, bleeding done. Mind top up the header tank as it will go down. 

  2. Well you were in the right faze of mind there. These 2 sensors will let engine start, not let it start or shut engine down. But for the 2 sensors to work how they should, they should have the correct voltage going into them so they can output the required voltage to the ECU for engine to be allowed to start. The crank one may not be powered though.

    So what I am coming to, is, Battery output. Is your battery good, quite new, how old. As its not just these cars that need a good battery to satisfy the starting parameters...

    Somehow it doesn't sound fuel pressure related, but just might be.

  3. There's a front cable from Handbrake to fulcrum. Short cable from fulcrum to right side, connected to another cable to rear drum. From fulcrum there's only one cable to left side drum.

  4. Interesting one this and hopefully find an interesting answer. Doesn't start sometimes, other times it starts ok and then performs its function. Maybe the RAC approved garage found an answer but it wasn't the actual EGR valve, does this EGR have wires to it and electronics. Is this a wiring fault problem. Doesn't sound like Fuel related as of air in fuel but maybe has more than one fault. Was thinking of a sensor fault where crank sensor would shut engine down and not leave fault code but it runs ok at times for many miles. Then there's the Boost/temp sensor, shut down yes, leave code, well sometimes. If it goes into limp mode on booting it code P0235 or likes is left. But noticed on mine when boost sensor totally lost it and shut down happened there was no code, as like crank sensor.

    But that EGR system needs checked and wiring verified.

  5. Its more like a sad day that A garage can't get it running and their answer even though they have not found one is they think Timing belt has moved.

    How many times have I heard these garage answers from my mechanic near me. He gets cars offered to him cheap from garages that can't get the engines running even though they have the sophisticated equipment. One car that wouldn't start had the quick click fuel hose connected at filter not fully on, hence air getting in. Air getting in at filters seems to be a problem to garages. Then there's the blocked internal manifolds due to the black gunge from the EGR. Probably started off with rich running and smoke. His recent acquisition, lovely little Peugeot used by a garage for tottering about in. They cooked the engine, yes needs a replacement engine and yes this was a garage.

    So what was Woodie's car problem, not starting. What could cause this. Think we have been through answers to this many a time on here, like injector leaks, fuel rail bypass valve, even sensor. Ah how about the Hammer House of Horror, "Air In The Fuel", due to filter, seals or prim pump. 

    Sorry just getting it off my back, ah that's better. 

  6. My Voyager 2003 2.5CRD is just push back with no leaking off fluid via bleed nipple on doing so. Rears are the same.

    Oh and a wee extra, check the hub for noisy and loose bearing as they seem to can travel some distance rumbling away before destruction. The noise maybe put down as the type of tyre used.
