  1. It's this EGR that's getting me now after looking at, not it, but them. Flee-bay of course always liked Pam in that red costume. Had an idea about an electronic one and right enough that comes in at 2012 on. There's one which is just a diaphram in its flying saucer case on a mount, must be a cassing missing surely. Then there's the all singing dancing one, reduced in price, must be, £66. Singing one sports the full housing, diaphram in place with valve inside housing. And there's more, there's another actuator, from the one fitted in my wee Panda it operates the choke plate.

    Quiet a buy at £66 if it suits your car.

  2. As you say you've changed the glow plugs and it does need extra turning over before it starts. Have you checked that the plugs are actually working, getting power to them.

    Does your engine come with a bleed squeeze bulb on the fuel line to your engine.

    What to do before starting your engine is to prime it several times before turning fully to start and see if there is any differance.

  3. Whistling noise about an engine usually tells you that there is an air leak, or in this case a charge air leak between the turbo and cylinder head inlet port. Some people my tell you otherwise that whistling means turbo is working properly so it whistles, well. A little info on HST power cars, when the driver opens it up for go power, the engine revs increase as does the turbo. At or near top Turbo speed the vanes go through sound barrier which makes the whistle. But the whistle comes up through the big silencer on the roof and out in this case.

    So look for the leak in your manifold and hoses.
