Bongo Fury

On start up when cold I'm getting a noise reminicent of an old diesel with a dodgy exhaust.

Goes away as soon as the engine has warmed up (a couple/five minutes max) then everything runs really smoot and quiet.

Its not the manifold studs...or the exhaust blowing...sounds as if the noise is coming from the front end...any ideas please????

hi check glo plugs its geting colder now, sounds like they are not working

That's what I reckon too. Proably one glowplug as failed, so it will sound a bit lumpy.

hi easy way to check glo plugs take them out put them across a battery they will glow or smoke? the plug that wont get hot is blown advise replace all 4
