sediment trap emptied - not starting
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2020 9:10 pm
N reg D AFT sediment warning light came on as engine struggled to start. Due to low fuel.
Had moved the SORNed vehicle a few yards in the last 3 months to access my lock up a few hours earlier
having let it warm up before switching off
Drained filter
tried to restart - reversed 5 yards backwards down hill
Refilled filter
put 20 L fuel in tank
very lumpy running - no power
flattend battery
jump "started" VERY lumpy running
tried to "crack" an injector - SUCH LIMITED access with a 6 inch spanner - no chance
any suggestions on what to do next much appreciated
vehicle facing uphill
New filter fitted a 1000 miles ago - during engine rebuild at Rishworth
of course this happens late on a Friday afternoon and I need to move this automatic vehicle back up a 10% gradient
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Working 7 to 5 tomorrow
Cheers
