A quick intro..
Drove perfectly but struggled to start cold. Eventually struggled to start when warm also until it refused to start.. during this time it still ran perfectly.
Changed all hoses and o rings (including for seal), filter, (2nd hand) pump, injector leak off clips and hoses and battery.
It started perfectly however over 2.5k engine would cut straight off and EDC light would come on...
Fitted refurbished pump, did the belt whilst I was there and fitted new driveshaft...
Went for a test drive.. starts on the button everytime, no bubbles in lines BUT heavy vibration at idle, also weirdly when I'm turning at low speeds like my steering rack is knackered and EDC light is constant and glow plug light sometimes stays on other times acts normal..
I've now replaced bottom mount, can't change the top one because it's nla and it's still doing it so I'm doubtful it's the mount.
I know it could be injectors but they don't look very old and the engine is really clean with not a hint of black death.
Any ideas? Although it struggled to start it ran perfectly before I started replacing parts
Could glow plugs cause heavy vibration?
Are crankshafts common issues on these?
It's been off the road for 3 weeks and I use it for work so I'm at my wits end tbh.
Cheers
