Does SDD return any "pending" or "Not Tested" codes? |

So, I made this video tonight to show you all what is happening.

I really hope I'm wrong and its just the video that makes it appear to be but that sounds to be spinning very fast - missing some compression in a few cylinders. The bit where i think you say its nearly starting to me sounds like its actually slowing a little due to the resistance of compression in good cylinders.

I hope you are wrong too! No panic however, what will be will be.

if it doesn't run on that awful stuff then i think you've got some major problems. Current

I just find it so hard to believe it could fail like that. She was running perfect for 30 miles, then just stalled out pulling out a car parking space! Like a chain can't slip?

I think I'd be doing a compression test before I did anything else, if nothing else just to rule it out. |

Has the immobiliser code fault been rectified now ?

I'm going to try and get a compression test done over the next number of days. How it could have failed without a big bang is beyond me. I really hope it is OK.

I'm thinking some kind of immobiliser problem. Have you spoken to Gap to see if they can help? ______________________________

I hope you are right RAR110. I'm going to email them today. I couldn't get the IID tool to read the live values from the Engine. Perhaps this is a sign of bad communication. |

can you check if you are getting fuel ? |

I can smell fuel out the back and see some white smoke? I'm going to undo one of the injectors next and see if they are getting fuel. Likewise, I'm going to do a compression test. Hopefully all will be well. |

As an ex diesel tech, it sounds to me when it's turning over as though it only has compression on one cylinder.
