@@kmorsey75 excellent, i wonder how many magnets we can find

[@gerrymcivor374]

I'm watching. Sounds like no ticking to me.

[@eadsierestorations]

@@gerrymcivor374 I didn't want run the engine without putting the auxiliary belt on correctly. I drove the van 12 miles yesterday with the ticking noise and it got much louder when i got home. Hence not running it today

I had a Octavia that the glow plug light used to come on , and it turned out dodgy tail light , that affected starting

[@eadsierestorations]

@@Brian0059 lol yes it can be literally anything. Sadly people don't read their car manuals so go straight out and buy the glow plugs lol

[@Brian0059]

@@eadsierestorations yes when a diesel starts that should be it , most odd that one you got , drove diesels since Orion’s and with other cabs , not heard that one before, don’t suppose there’s air getting in some where ? May be drain plug on filter

[@cainbeeping8480]

Good job brother. Not sure what that is.

[@eadsierestorations]

@@cainbeeping8480 thanks brother, I had routed the auxiliary belt the wrong way. Once I had realised what i had done by checking it again i put it right and the horrible ticking stopped.

@@eadsierestorations I saw that but I’m not sure on the crazy start up part. Yep always read your book LOL. If you have one the books have helped me a lot.
