Cranking time is poor again, car has done 85k.

No I'm very thankful for the advice, as the relay is now done. But unfortunately hasn't solved the problem. :-(. Would crappy injectors be a cause? Surely again it would show up performance issues.

Yeh light goes on and off. When I had a fault last time with my plugs the light stayed on. So I new then it was an issue, infact other equipment was run on the car to find issues but nothing is showing up. I'm sure my specialist will find out what it is, as he's found things before that no one...

Right, car still starting badly and smoke. Everything else though is ok? Glow plugs fine, relay fine, Car running beautiful?

Went to specialist today and he fitted a brand new Bosch Battery, its huge. He thinks that the blue smoke is to do with the extended turning over. Battery has been drop tested and was not great. Thets put it this way, the battery was 7 years old. So due to go I think, STAR didn't find any faults...

Ok thanks, going in thursday to my specialist, and what he doesn't know isn't worth knowing. He gets the cars the Mercedes themselves can't fix so I'm sure he will sort it. I will update everyone as soon as I know, although what does a relay cost?

Would unburnt fuel be possible with it keep turning over then starting. ?

Changed the glowys September last year. :-(

Hi all, I have an E320 CDI 56 plate which recently has been turning over fine but taking a while to start, on start up occasionally it will blow a big puff of blue smoke which lasts for a few seconds. I've been told that the battery has probably had it, but would this also be connected to the...

For some reason it has all stopped, maybe a plugin to STAR.

Thanks everyone, hasn't done it today and I did wonder if it was user error.

Happens when parked on a flat, the car is kept to the highest level in maintenance. So I just don't know what it is, its been a recent issue and ive never had it prior.

Currently MUSE who sound better live than on the album, and Pink Floyd ( pulse ). Refuse to listen to bands that cannot play live.

Hi everyone, I cannot find anything regards this ( unless I've gone blind ). I have an E320 CDI 56plate with the following issue. Start the car, put it in R, remove handbrake and then the foot brake goes rock hard then the dash board shows up "HOLD". This has happened a few times now but when...

Pink Floyd - pulse album = quality :-)

Uh oh, fairy liquid? Yes it lasts forever but your paint wont.

I was also tempted by eagles, my old chap used to run them on his old race car when it was on the road.

I put on cheap tyres as money got tight, if you read the first caption properly. The gearbox ecu was expensive.

How much did you actually save, as I've also just discovered that the cost of rubber is on the increase. Get this for a giggle, kwik fit wanted £900.00. =-O

Thanks all, I've heard good reviews regards falkens, maybe I will have a look.
