[Engine] Very badly treated Blingo
#1
Nope, still haven't tried a BSI reset.... How about this? In between showers (here in sunny Cornwall) I clicked that joint on the shiny pipe with fabric on it ( 1.9D  2004,DW8B, I've received the reg. doc now) and shoved a, I don't know, a bolt with a plasticky round head which fitted very tightly into the pipe, which I then clamped back up.... It runs a lot nicer, it's not so difficult to start from cold, but is there a vacuum hose or two I should pull off from somewhere as well? Another thing is, having mentioned before, the cold start feed for the glow plugs is achieved with a separate power feed direct from the battery, through a button in the cabin, to a relay, to the glow plug line. I've now found the proper relay fitted, a Nagares unit, which doesn't look like anything I've seen, having all the wires, fat ones and thinner ones disappearing into an even fatter harness, never to be seen again...
Except that, close to the position where you would think of looking for a feed wire for the glow plugs, there's a (thinner) harness, with four fattish wires coming out of it to a plug...  
I have an ancient multitester, an analogue one, with a choice of DC volts 0-9,0-10, or something to50,etc. so turned on the key for a cold start and there was current there, 10v setting, so the needle flew across the dial, for all four wires.  Then it went dead.   Because  
the little cold start heater light went out?  I think so.  I'm very tempted to make something to attach to all four wires at once, and connect the bundle to the glow plugs, thus bypassing the lashup that's there now?
